How to wire wrap jewelry: Wire wrapping gemstones | Lapis lazuli bead pendant

A happy new year, I guess 🙃
Finally, I finished another video, this time on how to wire wrap a larger lapis lazuli bead. I got my hands on a couple of these a little while ago and this design immediately came to mind. I just love the blue tones of lapis lazuli and the pyrite bits you find in it! This is actually one of my favorite stones, along with sodalite and moss agate - and sooo many more 😂
To let you jump forward and backward better while you are wrapping along, I noted down a few important timestamps below. I hope this makes it easier for you to find back a certain moment in the video.
Have fun!

Made a variation on this using an 8mm bead and three 20g wires. Turned out beautifully! Thank you for this tutorial!!! 🥰 (One of my fav bead pendants so far, couldn't have done it without this video!)

Very nice design!! I like that you do not deny there are difficulties. I can only imagine how difficult it is to explain what you are doing as you do it. I’m certain you will improve in that department . It’s very obvious you know what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with others!!!! Sharing knowledge and artistry is a fantastic way to permit it to continue Thank you again Stay safe and healthy ❤️❤️❤️🌈🦋

Your piece is beautiful. The challenge that I had was that at critical points, the work is completely off camera. Much of the video I couldn’t see what you were doing. I Could only go by what you were saying. I would love to see you remake the video because your piece is gorgeous!

@annesjewelry952 2 жыл бұрын

Dear L4LLL, I know the video is not perfect and that I go off camera a couple of times. I will not remake this video in near future, I am afraid. But I will make sure to be less off camera and show details closer up in future videos. In the end, I only have limited technical possibilities to record such a video. And although it is not ideal, I still wanted to show you this design anyway.

@bjbj3853 Жыл бұрын

I love this piece and surprisingly I was able to make something that approximates what you've done. The problem is when you join the two pieces of the bail. Each time you describe how to do the upper part, which is now upside down, you go off camera! I never see which direction you are wrapping the wire. I'm going to try it another way but the upper side is obviously done differently. Is there a reason you decided to flip the pattern on the upper leg?

@brittanyleigh4657 3 жыл бұрын

This piece is stunning! I am about two months into Wire Wrapping and currently following your tutorial, but am struggling with the connection at the beginning of the bail with the 8 wires. Is there a possibility of either a more thorough explanation, photos or video to better understand. I would love to see this piece through.

@annesjewelry952 3 жыл бұрын

Dear Brittany, Connecting eight wires simply needs practise. This is not the first pendant of this design, and in the video, you do not see all the pendants where I could NOT manage to properly connect the 8 wires. Indeed, this is a critical step, and the best advice I can give to you is to simply try and try again. I currently have no more pictures or videos on this specific part. But I will keep in mind for future videos to make such bits better visible and explain them more. Also, welcome to the wire wrapping community!!

@siobhanonavon1989 2 жыл бұрын

Can you please help me? I love this design, but I'm having trouble knowing where to start the weave. You said 10 cm or 2 1/2 inches, but 10 cm is almost 4 inches. Should I start at 10 cm or 2 1/2 inches? Thank you SO MUCH!

I can barely hear you, my problem but what size bead are you using?

@kbaxterpackwood 2 жыл бұрын

12 mm or 0.47 inches

@annesjewelry952 2 жыл бұрын

Dear Annette, although I give a size for the bead it all boils down to what you have at hand yourself. You can have a larger or smaller bead and still use this design if you are not new to wire wrapping and already have some experience.

@karenallen5208 2 жыл бұрын

I find this design very easy to adjust to any size of bead. You just have to make the three-strand wire longer according to half the size of your bead.

@jamesdule5397 3 жыл бұрын

How many mm is the size of the bead hole?

@annesjewelry952 3 жыл бұрын

...about 2mm if I remember well. Large enough for the wire, in any case.

Very disapointed when reading comments and how often you go off screen. Love the looks of this piece but will not try to make something that I can not see entire tutorial. So glad I read the feed back ahead of time.

Hello again, I am sorry this tutorial is not ideal for you. I am a jewelry maker and not a professional film maker and only have limited technical possibilities to record jewelry tutorials. I wanted to show this design still, though. I will make sure future videos will show more details and be less off camera. But for now, this is all I've got for you.

At 25 minutes…. Where you're trying to show us how to join the one section to the next you go off camera so much it's impossible to see what you are doing…… go back to the front ... If I could see how you jump from the 1st section to the 2nd I could get the rest… I'm sorry but I'm extremely frustrated with this video I love the peace and I cannot figure out how to do the top part because you need to aim your camera a little bit higher in order to not go off camera every time you make a rap…… Love your work this is gorgeous but could you please do a little tutorial on how just to make that double piece come together please.. Was following along with the video and now I'm lost sorry

@annesjewelry952 2 жыл бұрын

Dear Arwen, First of all, thank you for taking on my design :-) It is not easy, but feasable. I know this video is not ideal as I am off camera a lot and explaining in English which is not my mother tongue. I am currently not planning to make a video on how to join the ends. Also, this is not too difficult :-) You basically lay all wires next to each other and weave all of them together. If the video is not clear, try to improvise! Seriously! This is how I learned most of the designs I do. Don't let frustration get you down or my explanation hold you back. Wire wrapping is mostly about the fun! I am sure you will find your solution. If the final pednant does not look like mine does not matter. Also, I had quite a few trials and errors before this design was final ;-) Good luck!

I've learned so much from KZfaq artists who go off camera frequently. If you can do it, think about what you're trying to accomplish and visualize it. This works for me. I love the video.

I would like to see the weave patterns better. This is my weak point. Everything else makes sense. You hide your wires like I do. I mostly do filligree work.
