Woa absolutely gorgeous! Have a coworker that wants me wrap a carved labradorite, and she doesn’t want it “very fancy” lol so it doesn’t distract from the lotus carving… I bet this will be perfect for it!! Love that you demo placement of prongs without math… SOO appreciated cause i bloody suck at math! Also grateful you show step by step fairly slow, and talk it out as well.. this is a fairly old video but it’s gunna be SO helpful and I really adore the final look! Thank you!!
Очень нравится! Для не знающих английского - немного затянуто, но это лучше, чем смотреть на мелькание рук и ничего не понимать. Всё очень аккуратно, основательно и профессионально:)))
May I make a suggestion. When you are beginning to make the prongs, do not start from the side. Start by measuring the wire to get it's center and align that against the center point on your plan. Then begin making the prongs beginning with one on either side of the center point. (Work from the center, out.) The result will be equal lengths of wire on either side for use in making the bale. Also, wait until the prongs are set in the first wire and then cut the second wire to fit the length of the first.
Thank you so much for your careful explanation. I have deep respect for the intuitive skill of wire wrappers! It is harder than it looks to get such a lovely finish.
New to your channel but thank u so much i adore your videos, your voice is so soothing which helps to calm my nerves as I mess up wire after wire..lol Your tutorials have come in handy many many times now
Yay!!!!! I can make prongs now! You're great!!!! What looks so complicated, you made easy. Not simple, you must work at it. But I'm thrilled to be doing them at all! Thanks!!!
FANTASTIC!!!. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your kindness in giving us such valuable information. Your method of teaching is so easy to follow. I have several pieces that have been waiting because I wanted to set them with prongs but was not sure how to go about it. Your information is so timely, again, thank you. 🙏🏼💗🍀
I love watching your tutorials they are so helpful. Also love your accent. My fiancee is South African and I love her accent as well. Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you for keeping it simple for some of us old folks.
I want to thankyou for having the most competent, easy to follow tutorials on iTunes. I found you and have now watched 4 different ones. Your narrative is clear, very instructional, and your ideas and technique are top notch. I have been a professional designer in the jewelry business for 35 years and I throughly enjoy everything I learn from you. Thankyou so much.
I don't know how you keep doing it, but you always manage to post the exact tutorial I need, right when I'm looking for it! Thank you for being somehow in tune with my needs and sharing yet another great tutorial!
THANK YOU for another OUTSTANDING tutorial/lesson! You're SO KIND & GENEROUS to continue to give/share your precious time, knowledge, resources, & talent with us ALL! I SINCERELY APPRECIATE you & the MANY things you have taught me! Education/knowledge is a priceless gift! And you're an OUTSTANDING teacher! I'm looking forward to learning everything I possibly can from you! THANK YOU, & BLESS YOU! 😊AmyLee THANK YOU!
I only just found this video but I am hooked. Your instructions along with your video visuals are so explicit and absolute that it becomes an easy task to follow your work, rather than blunder along wondering how the heck to get the same look as yours. You are a really good teacher. I love your pieces too. I subscribed because I really appreciate your skills and as a beginner, I find them easy and non-threatening to start my own pieces. Thank you. You are wonderful. 💖🙏🌻
BEAUTIFUL!!! :) Absolutely Gorgeous!! Love ALL your videos! You are an Amazing Artist! And a Brilliant teacher. I always learn so much.. someday I hope to be able to wrap. I'm 65 and have never had the chance to get the tools I need.. I'm raising my 8 yr old granddaughter who has cancer. She loves watching your videos with me. :) Making jewelry has always been a dream of mine, sigh.. my hands are starting to go and I've had a few strokes.. so idk if I'll ever get the chance to do this, but if I Ever do, it'll be something that You've taught me, so Thank You So Very Much! We think you're absolutely WONDERFUL!! Keep doing YOU honey! You are Original and Oh So Very Talented! Thank you for giving yourself to us.. you've definitely earned your wings! ;) Have a Wonder Full Journey and In Joy every second of it! Many Blessings to you and yours, G'ma & Niyah :) Hugs!
Absolutely Stunning work..Very pristine!! I just found your channel a few weeks ago and am totally transfixed...Thanks for taking your valuable time to teach jewelry making..Your step by step procedure is easy for the novice to learn..Again Thank you!!
I really appreciate how neat your work is compared to other artists who often do their wraps rather messy. I plan to use this particular wrap for a sweet elderly lady from my church & need the wrap to look really clean, elegant & crisp. Thanks again for another great vid.
I love your tutorial, you really take time to explain also the best that goes with it is you show on camera exactly step by step how to make it. My spouse and I are going to make some medium size one to practice. Letting you know how it will go. Lise from Ottawa, Ontario Canada
To Ripley Ramboette. Thank you very much. I have a ring tutorial coming up shortly actually. I do have a website, but currently don't sell tutorials only, but it is something I am working on getting together :-)
+Sharon French Thank you. I find that important, specially on pendants, as they will usually flip around while wearing them, and then that's not a problem :-)
I want you to know how much I appreciate your instructions. you are vry good and make it clear and seem easier than anyone else. I struggle since my eyes are not so great anymore. I made some very nice pieces, than you for your help. I would love to know how to make more rings that are fairly simple. I made a few with the viking knit and they are amazing. You are very nice and informative.,
You are an amazing wire worker, your work is so neat and professional looking. Thank you for sharing your tutorials, better than any workshop I have attended.
This is fantastic I've never seen this technique before, I love it, it's an exciting design, very interesting and it looks lovely excellent detailed explanation wonderful tutorial, amazing, I'm going to try this. Thank you I love your videos. Real quality teaching. Laura in liverpool uk
you make it look easy,did my first prong type stone from your tutorial,thanks,i did the setting too big for the stone so I ended up putting a different size stone in it,a lot off adjusting but I got it done ,next time it will be easier,
I would have taken the two wire ends coming down from the back of the bail and made them the long curls. The two ends that come from the prong base would be the short curls. Then I would weave the four together. The wires would be stabilized and the back of the pendant would be smooth and flat.
Second time I’m seeing your video and I just love how it’s came out. I have a big stone but it’s round, going to try this design but round. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️
This looks like a really useful tutorial. Thank you for sharing this video with us ! I have a beautiful fushia cab which will be perfect to try this out.
Thank you so much CSL designs for doing this tutorial! I have been looking for something like this for a very long time, and you make it look so easy! I do have a question for you...I know that filming and talking while you work makes it take a lot longer to finish a piece, but I was wondering how long, start to finish it actually takes you to make one of these? Thank you again!
+Laura Miceli You're very welcome and thank you. I'm glad it was helpful for you then. Hmmm I don't know exactly as I don't really time myself, but maybe around 45 min to an hour once getting used to doing it :-)
C est vraiment très jolie et c est très sympa de données des explications c est dommage que l'on ne peut pas traduire la langue vous faites vraiment de très belles choses
I have 18 Labradorite Cabochons, a few only suitable as practice pieces, but more than 12 are Jewelry Quality... i have been looking for a suitable method for turning them into Pendants... i do believe this method would work quite well in that regard. TY for the video tutorial.
Thanks so much. I love the way you take pains over your demonstrations. This is the design I like best because it doesn't detract from the cabochon itself and the bail makes a lovely contrasting design to the otherwise plain front. I think I should be able to do this without too much trouble.
Thankyou.you are so clever! I make other kinds of jewelry but would love to try this but l kive in ltaly and cant find the wires, especially the silver colored one.are you in England and could you tell me please where l could buy them there and what sizes? Thankyou very much.
Question. I made this using your wonder instructions. Thank you again. Anyway, my prongs have a little wiggle in them from side to side. is there a way to make that more secure?
Woa absolutely gorgeous! Have a coworker that wants me wrap a carved labradorite, and she doesn’t want it “very fancy” lol so it doesn’t distract from the lotus carving… I bet this will be perfect for it!!

Thank you! Made my first piece and am proud of how it came out! You are an incredible teacher and very talented.
Great job and happy to see your cabochon really flashes its beauty - not hidden by a bunch of wires. Thanks for sharing !
Simple, effective, sober, elegant….. perfect ! Thank you so much, this is the kind of design I was looking for.
This is the best wire wrap cab I've seen. It's simple looking and beautiful. Patience will be my requirement. Thank you.
Thank you for demonstrating your technique; I think it will work for the free-form cabs I cut & polished years ago.
I truly love how you explain in detail and in easy wording how to do a new trick.
Fabulous instructional video! Step-by-step made easy. I can’t wait to try it. This can be used for virtually any shape of cabochon.

I want to do this for this beautiful agate stone I have. I've been looking for a clean , simplistic way to wire wrap the agate stone. Thank you
Really nice demonstration and with some practice I believe I can do this!
I would have taken the two wire ends coming down from the back of the bail and made them the long curls. The two ends that come from the prong base would be the short curls. Then I would weave the four together. The wires would be stabilized and the back of the pendant would be smooth and flat.

Love your work, can I ask I have trouble finding mounts for faceted citrine trillion gems4mm and pears 7mm is there a wire way?
Thanks so much. I love the way you take pains over your demonstrations. This is the design I like best because it doesn't detract from the cabochon itself and the bail makes a lovely contrasting design to the otherwise plain front. I think I should be able to do this without too much trouble.
Fantastic video, these are lovely pieces.
Just wondering how to keep them clean, and not get tarnished ?
Another *outstanding* tutorial! You do such beautiful work, I’m not sure mine would end up anything like yours..lol Thank you💜
I have a faceted pear shape green amethyst is this the pendant style you would use?
Hi!! Thanks, very nice video. Please, What kind of wire do you use?
So elegant! Love it! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you🙏
How would you make this setting for a heart cab? Would you new able to get it secured with the same number of prongs?
I have a large onyx, front drilled, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, can I make a prong setting using your tutorial?
So neat and tidy, and beautiful.
