7. Continue to wrap wire around the top a few times, and then trim off the wire. Use a jeweler's file to smooth the end of the wire.

8. Now taking chain-nosed pliers, grasp the wire that is wrapped across one side of the pendant, and slightly twist the wire so that you have created a small bend in it. Do this at least once, or you may want to do it a few times like I did in the example pictured. Make sure you do this with just a small amount of force. You don't want to break the wire, just bend it a small amount.
