As a stained-glass artist I spent many tedious hours repairing original Tiffany windows and to relax I enjoy making fused and dichroic glass pieces for my jewelry making "hobby". I designed the following pendant as a way to use some glass pieces I had made with holes across their tops.

Instructions
Step 1
Clean, straighten and then cut the one 12" piece of wire. Measure and mark the center. Place the wire with its center mark on a ring mandrel at the largest size, (or use any round object that is at least 1" in diameter, but no bigger than 1½" around), and wrap the wire around the shape until it crosses over itself. Remove from mandrel.

Step 2
With the front of the pendant bead facing you, thread it onto the wire loop; and pull the wire ends until your desired size is formed. Where the wires cross each other, use flat nose pliers to make a 45° bend in the bottom wire, heading up and away from the circle.

Step 3
Still working with the bottom wire, measure and mark ½" up from the bend just made. Place round-nose pliers on this mark and roll the tool and wire away from you, toward the back of the pendant forming the bail.

While using flat-nose pliers to hold the bail just formed, use the shorter wire on the front to wrap around the bail, 2 times to show, and ending with this wire sticking out to the side of the pendant.
