Instructions
Step 1
Flush cut 8" of wire; straighten the wire using a flat nose nylon pliers if necessary, and create a small loop on one end using the tip of the round-nose pliers.

Step 2
Begin spiraling the loop using your flat-nose or nylon pliers. Make a loose spiral, not tight.

Step 3
Place the round-nose pliers about an inch down from the beginning of the spiral and wrap the wire around the jaw to create a small loop at the bottom of the heart.

Step 4
Place the Wubbers' pliers jaw up against the bottom loop and wrap around the top jaw.

Step 5
Place the flat-nose pliers half way down on the wire and bend the wire around and up the left jaw.

Step 6
Slide a crystal, pearl and crystal onto the wire. Make sure you have 2" of wire above the top crystal. Using the smaller Wubbers' pliers jaw, wrap the excess wire around the jaw numerous times creating a bail.

Pro Tip: You may have to use a pearl reamer to enlarge the pearl hole to fit onto the wire.

Step 7
Using the small round-nose pliers, make a slight angle in the wire above the crystal centering the bail.

Step 8
