About this class

In this tutorial, Pam East will teach you how to create this eye-catching bronze open-frame pendant, with a gemstone-set flower suspended inside and a little dangle charm below for extra movement and sparkle.

Using Pam’s ShapeRight™ Ovals, you’ll learn how to construct the frame, incorporate a bail, and create a molded bronze gem-set flower that swings freely within the opening. And once you learn the secret to building those connection points, your creative possibilities are endless!

Go Beyond the Flower
The flower is just the beginning. You can use this frame-building technique to suspend all kinds of elements inside your designs.
Create your own molded components using techniques from Pam’s Base Metal Buttons class, or explore an entirely different look by incorporating resin elements inspired by Shelley Nordman’s companion CRAFTCAST class.

This simple construction technique can take your jewelry in so many creative directions.
And of course, Pam has created an additional 20 minutes of BONUS videos with more ideas and techniques. AND Pam always shows quick fixes for problems that may occur while creating the project. You won’t get stuck wondering why something isn’t working or a crack keeps happening and you don’t know what to do to fix it.
