  1. Before you begin, watch the instructional video: How to Wire Wrap a Briolette. This video will demonstrate two ways to wire wrap a briolette. We are going to apply the second method to our Cabochette pendant.
  2. Using 24 gauge silver plated non tarnish craft wire, start with 12 - 18" and wrap a 20mm jet crystal Cabochette pendant using the second method shown in the video.
  3. Trim the excess wire and tuck in the wire ends to the back of the pendant.
  4. Open the clasp on the 18" silver plated box chain necklace. Remove the jump ring from the end and slide the chain through the loop on your pendant. Replace the jump ring.
