Wire work pendant - 'Starburst'

Hi Guys,

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a hammered wire pendant using glass crystals and cubic zirconia. I will show you how to create and form the base shape, create a prong setting and secure your stones as well as show you how to finish your piece.

EDIT: a very helpful subscriber has just drawn my attention to the fact that some clips were swapped around in the video. at around 25:35 I am working on the bail. In this clip the bail appears to have already been shaped. This clip was accidentally switched with the next clip, where I explain the process of forming the bail. I can't change the video, unfortunately, so I am trying to explain it here as best as I can. Sorry if this confuses anybody!!
