Making a cross pearl pendant

You can make attractive pearl pendants by using wholesale pearls, especially cross pearls. Such pendants would be dazzling gifts for you or someone special.

To make these beautiful pendants, you will need the following materials: 1-10×38mm cross pearls, round nosed pliers, flat nosed pliers, and gold filled wire. Place the pearl components at the center of the wire. Start wrapping both ends of the wire at a 180 degree angle from the bottom of the pearl.

Now consider only one side of the wire. Wrap it twice across the cross pearl in a vertical direction. Repeat the same process for the other end of the wire. Now you will see that the ends of the wire are pointing upwards diagonally instead horizontally across the pearl.

The two ends of the wire that are pointing in a diagonal direction upwards should be now pulled backwards behind the top of the pearl. Keep on twisting it together a few times. This will hold the pendant secure in its place.

To make a bale, you have to use round nosed pliers for making a wrapped loop. Now there will be some extra wire that you also have to get done. All you have to do is keep on wrapping it on the same area where you have wrapped the first wire for making the loop. You will have to use two pliers for this. One plier to hold the loop flat and other one for wrapping the extra wire around its surface area.

Cross pearls are irregularly shaped and the pendants made from them are great additions to necklaces or bracelets.
