How to Make a Small Diamond Shape Accent for Wire Jewelry

Video Transcript

Now we're going to learn how to make a small diamond shape. We're going to start with our typical butterfly shape, which I have here. You're going to remember to do each circle going the opposite way to make your butterfly. Now what you're going to do is grab with your pliers the very edge right next to the bottom wing of the butterfly and start to move in the opposite direction to make wings on top of wings. We're using the same wrist form to twist. Every time you turn the corner, you're going to keep twisting all the way around to make almost like a square shape. As you twist, you'll start to see the diamond shape. A small diamond is a lot easier than the larger diamond because you actually don't have to use as many twists and turns. When you are finished, your small diamond shape will look like this. These are great little accents for earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or whatever you'd like. It's a great addition and that's a small diamond.
