How to Wire Wrap a Briolette Drop

Use Silver Jewelry Wire to wire wrap a drop by following these simple steps.

Here's What You'll Need:

• Silver Wire
• Briolettes
• Chain Nose Pliers
• Round Nose Plier
• Wire Cutters 

Step 1

• Cut a piece of silver wire 3 inches long.
• Make a 90 degree bend in the middle of the wire.
• Slide the drop onto the wire.

Step 2

• Use your pliers to create a sharp bend in the wire at one corner of the drop.
• Adjust the space above the drop to leave enough room for it to swing freely.

Step 3

• Use your chain nose pliers to bend the longer wire where the wires cross. It should point straight up.
• Bend the short wire sharply. It should lay horizontal, forming a right angle with the longer wire.
• Hold the crossed wires still with the pliers and wrap the shorter wire around the long wire 2 or 3 times.

Step 4

• Clip the excess wire close to the coil.
• Press the tip flush with a chain nose pliers.
