DIY Rock Candy Cabochons with Jem Hawkes

We're creating adorable Rock Candy pendants using Cabochons from the Rock Candy Collection. Come learn how to turn these natural stone treasures into easily customizable pendants. For this tutorial, we will be using several of the round stone cabochons from the Rock Candy collection. You will also need to have on hand 18 gauge round wire, 20 gauge half-round wire, a round wire form or mandrel that is close to the size of the cabochon you want to wrap wire cutters, and some pliers.

We also recommend being repaired to work harden your wire using a steel block and a hammer. Work hardening your wire helps keep your wire strong and ready to hold up for many years to come.

This easy wire-wrapping project makes a great gift for the holiday season. Customize these pendants with different wire-wrapped accents and use different stones to match the person you want to give this beautiful piece to.

Thank you so much for joining us for another fabulous jewelry-making video tutorial. Stay tuned for more beading education. We release new tutorials every week!
