In this video I show you a wire wrapping technique that can turn just about anything into a pendant. Today I’m using a polished ammonite that I picked up at a bead show a while back.
The wire wrapping is fairly straightforward as I wanted the focus to be on the fossil shell. You can find quite a few varieties of wrapped ammonites on this Pinterest board. Some of them have very elaborate wire work, and some don’t even use an ammonite at all!
Here’s the video on how to finish this piece with beads and crystals.
Enjoy the video and happy creating!

Isn’t that unique! I can see that hanging on a cord rather than a chain. Very nice.
True, it is fancy enough that you could get away with hanging it on something simple.
