Did I mention soldering??? And more soldering??? I used 18 gauge, round, copper wire to make this pendant but, it can be made from a variety of wire gauges - from 18 - 12 gauge - and from a variety of metals like brass, bronze, nickel, steel, silver, sterling, gold. (Note: the copper plating trick won't work on any metals but copper!). Don't miss "Wire-Working, Intermediate Shapes - Bails and Links.
