EDITOR’s nOTE:It may seem unlikely, but square stones work fine in this project. Just be sure to use the ones with rounded corners instead of sharp corners.

Let the brilliance of a gemstone shine when you capture it in a wire setting that leaves all its facets exposed.
stepbystep
Pendant bezel and bail[1] Cut a 7-in. (18 cm) piece of 22-gauge square wire, and use roundnose pliers to make a small hook at one end. Use your fingers and chainnose pliers to form a small spiral around the hook (photo a). This spiral will sit against the front of the gemstone.
[2] Position the spiral as you would like it placed against the stone. Without bending the wire, rock the wire back so it is flat against the back of the stone and the spiral is pointing up. Hold the wire tight against the back of the stone, and bend the wire up and around the bottom edge of the stone so that you cross the corner opposite the starting spiral (photo b).

Use a minimalist approach to feature a brilliant gem in a graceful wire setting
[5] To make a bail, cut a 2-in. (5 cm) piece of 22-gauge square wire, and make a four-wrap coil at the end using roundnose pliers. Because the pliers are tapered, you’ll need to adjust the position of the wire with each turn so the coils are consistent in size (photo e).[6] Bend the wire down from the coil, and begin curving the wire back up. Attach the pendant to the hook (photo f), and finish with a decorative spiral.[7] On a head pin, string a 10 mm pearl, and make the first half of a wrapped loop (Basics, p. 12). Attach the dangle to the bottom of the pendant, and complete the wraps (photo g).
Leaf connector[1] Cut a 10-in. (25 cm) piece of 22-gauge square wire, and make a four-wrap coil at one end, as in step 5 of “Pendant bezel and bail.”[2] Holding the coil with the long tail on the left, bring the wire down under the coil to the right. Shape the wire into a curve with your fingers, and make an upward bend about 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the coil,

using your pliers as needed. Slide the bail onto the wire, so the front of the pendant is facing you, and feed the end of the wire through the coil made in step 1. Gently pull the wire through the coil, shaping the loop into a leaf shape (photo h). Keep in mind that this segment will hold both the pendant and part of the necklace chain.[3] To make the second leaf segment, curve the wire exiting the coil downward, and make a U-shaped bend about ¾ in. (1.9 cm) from the coil. Feed the wire through the coil, shaping the segment into a leaf as you pull (photo i).[4] Bend the wire up, away from the coil. Make a U-shaped bend about 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the coil, and feed the wire through the coil, creating the third leaf
shape (photo j). Keep in mind that this leaf will hold part of the necklace chain.[5] Bend the wire up, under the third leaf, and curve the end into a spiral (photo k). Use your fingers to gently shape the connector as desired.
Assembly[1] Determine the finished length of your necklace, subtract 1 in. (2.5 cm), and cut two pieces of chain to this length. These pieces will form the long side of the necklace.[2] Measure the length of your leaf connector, and multiply this length by two. Subtract this length from the chain length determined in step 1, and cut two pieces of chain to the new length for the short side of the necklace. (In this
necklace, the long chains were 15 in./38 cm and the leaf connector was 11⁄2 in./3.8 cm, so the short chains were 12 in./30 cm each.)[3] Cut a 2-in. (5 cm) piece of 24-gauge wire, and make the first half of a wrapped loop. Attach an end link of each long chain, and pass the chains through the first leaf of the connector. Be careful not to go through the pendant bail or twist the chains. Attach the remaining end links to the loop, and complete the wraps. [4] String a 3 mm accent bead, and make the first half of a wrapped loop. Attach half of the clasp, and complete the wraps.[5] Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the short chains, passing through the third leaf of the connector instead of the first. w

[3] Pull the wire around the back of the stone to the starting point, and cross the wire in front of the spiral end, just behind the top edge of the stone. Fold the spiral down over the wire and the top edge of the stone, so it sits securely on the front (photo c).[4] Bend the wire back over the spiral and the top of the stone. Use roundnose pliers and your fingers to coil and curve the wire over the top of the stone. Trim the wire as needed, and use roundnose pliers to make a small hook at the end. Secure the hook to the wire along the edge of the stone (photo d).
