Turquoise pendant
About this design:
I wanted to earn how to make the PIPPA knot that is displayed on the front of this pendant. Of course I had to do it in a rage gauge wire,
Components:
16 gauge copper wire, turquoise beads, apatite chips and a turquoise nugget.Read the comments (or add your own)
