_____________

I present to you one of my most treasured designs - I have created a lot of pendants AND earrings with this idea and they have always been my customers' favorites, too.
This is by far my most detailed tutorial, ing the secrets of my layered designs many of you asked about!

The process of making of this pendant is presented in 60 easy to follow steps and illustrated with 73 high quality pictures. It will be sent to you via email as a pdf copy (about 6,8 MB), usually within 24 hours receiving the payment (except weekends and holidays when I'm out of my studio).

EXTRA: With this tutorial you will also get useful information about my choices of wire (fine silver vs. sterling silver) and tips on how to make balled ends with a torch - all illustrated with additional 5 pictures.

IMPORTANT: The lesson explains how to make the pendant presented on the cover (first picture) of this listing. Other pictures present designs you can make using the technique learned this tutorial and are not explained in the lesson.

NOTE: all measurements are given in centimeters (cm).

KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS:
