Adding an Extra Stone to a Pendant | Wire Wrapping Tutorial
Adding a second stone to a piece can completely change how it feels — but it’s not always obvious how to attach it cleanly, especially if the stone isn’t drilled. In this tutorial, I show you how I add an undrilled accent stone to a pendant using only wire, keeping the design secure while still allowing it to feel balanced and natural. This is a really useful technique if you want to build more layered, statement-style pieces without relying on drilled stones. In this video, I’m using: 0.8mm square copper wire – Metal Clay Ltd Tools used: Chain nose pliers Flush cutters (optional) If you’ve been wanting to experiment with adding more detail or complexity to your pendants, this is a great technique to have in your toolkit. 00:00 - Introduction to Adding Accent Stones 00:20 - Overview of the Pendant & Undrilled Rose Quartz 00:46 - Securing an Accent Stone Directly to the Pendant Frame 01:05 - Creating the Initial Support Loop 01:32 - Guiding the Wire Around the Stone Edge 02:12 - Locking the Stone Securely Without a Drill Hole 03:12 - Final Positioning & Tightening the Setting 04:24 - Creating a Separate Accent Stone Setting 05:17 - Building a Simple Base for Smaller Stones 05:44 - Twisting the Wire to Secure the Stone 06:36 - Attaching the Finished Accent Stone to the Pendant 07:29 - Final Thoughts & Viewer Questions - - - - - - - If you enjoy calm, thoughtful wire wrapping tutorials, I’d love for you to subscribe and join our growing creative community. ✨ Sunday Studio Circle Every Sunday evening I share what’s been made, what’s coming next, and behind-the-scenes studio moments via my mailing list.
