This lesson teaches you how to make a unique and powerful woven wire sword pendant.  In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the making of the sword pendant in the center photo.

The sword developed from the dagger, when the construction of longer blades became possible, from the late 3rd millennium BC.  Swords are very powerful and are symbolic of solidarity, defense, clarity, honor and force.  The sword is mostly known for its symbolism of protection, with honor and justice embodied in the blade. Metaphysically speaking, the sword symbolizes the power of the mind, and encourages the wielding of trained intellect to bring about the results we seek in our life.  I’ve always been attracted to the sword, and tend to be drawn to artwork which includes a sword. The sword is often seen in the work of many of my favorite fantasy artists.

Once you have completed the tutorial, you’ll have a unique design you can add to your wire jewelry offerings.   The design can be adapted to include different types of bails (this tutorial shows you how to make a tornado bail topper for the sword), various beads and gemstones, and a mix of wire colors, making each one unique.

This lesson teaches you how to make a single layer fantasy flower pendant.  In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the making of the flower pendant in the left photo above.

Flowers are the most portrayed subjects in figural jewelry.  Dating back to the Victorian era, flowers made a constant appearance in jewels.  They became even more popular during the Art Nouveau period, and the popularity of flowers and blossoms in jewelry continues to this day.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn to make a single layer flower pendant with a cluster of stones in the center.  After making a single layer flower, it’s very easy to transition to double, triple and even more layers, which I explain how to do at the end of the tutorial.

This pendant is my interpretation of a long neck genie bottle with handles and a “stopper” at the top.  And who knows?  It just might make all of your wishes come true!

This lesson teaches you how to make a versatile woven pea pod jewel, which makes fabulous earrings, pendants, and even individual components for more involved designs. 

Peapods are a symbol of fertility, new life, and new beginnings.  They serve as beacons of hope for greater things in the future.  The pod protects its seeds from harm, keeping them safe in the cocoon shape.  The “peas” inside the pod are representative of our close relationships with others who are like us—hence the saying “two peas in a pod”.  In Chinese tradition, peapods symbolize growth, prosperity, and good fortune in all areas of life.

Once you have completed the tutorial, you’ll have a basic and very versatile design you can add to your wire jewelry offerings.   The design can be adapted to include different types of bails, various beads and gemstones, a mix of wire colors and different shapes of stones, making each one unique, yet if you need to make the same design over again, it can easily be done.
