STEP # 4.
Using your round nose pliers, start from end of wire and make your swirl. Repeat this on the other end as well and stop at the mark you just made in step 3. Be sure to make both swirls the same size so they match.
STEP # 5.
With your chasing hammer and steel block or anvil, lightly tap the swirls till they are slightly flattened. Continue tapping all the way around your pendant frame. This will strengthen the wire.
