In this tutorial I want to show you how to create a micro pendant using undrilled diamond cut gemstones. (You can use a drilled bead instead if the setting is too small for you to make) I will show you how to create the base shape, create the setting and secure your stones and how to finish your piece.
Hope you enjoy and please let me now what you think in the comments!
