This is the first tree of life where I tried to create the braided frame I REALLY like this one...
like every new one I make

Anyways this was kind of inspired by someone I follow on instagram. She occasionally would post some of her earrings she'd make. Most were made with I believe real gold or gold plated wire. I admire them because as my watchers may or may not have noticed, I don't make a lot of gold plated pendants I always have a hard time using the right colors with the gold wire and, to be honest, I don't like gold jewelry or gold colored jewelry But seeing hers really inspired me to make a piece using gold plated wire

Not only that, but I felt it was time to put my months of practice with wire and see if I could make the braided frame I think I did ok for my first time? What do you guys think? The challenge for me though was making the bail with all those wires I couldn't think of a better design for the bail in the end and stuck to this simple one.

Let me know what you guys think of it! Comment below your thoughts about it

Wow! So beautiful!

I must ask, how do you make these? The other day I went to a crafts store and found stuff to make these, and then I wondered how to make them! XD

Thank you!

Well it's hard to describe but you can look it up on YouTube! I started by watching many of them and then I tried to make them. I don't do them like those videos though but it is very similar to them

I do plan to make a tutorial though but making one is harder than I thought eventually I will! Though if you don't know what you need them I can help with that^^ all you need is 16 gauge wire, 26 gauge wire, needle nose pliers, the cutting pliers and round nose pliers

Welcome!

And thanks for the info, I've seen some tutorials and I actually understand it!

Lol, guess what. My 7 year old brother wanted to make a Tree of Life and he found some old wire and bent it to an oval shape, and added a green paper in the back. And he used gold colored beads for the tree and other beads for the tree! It looks so funny! XD

I think it looks different than most treeof life pendants at least I've never seen one done like that

If you ever make one I'd like to see it

Same here - I don't really like gold color either. I dunno why. 

But this is gorgeous! The braid is wonderful and the tree colors are too (my fave tree colors, by the way LOL)

Yeah =/
My mom LOVES...well used to love (she got robbed and since then doesn't like ANY jewelry) gold jewelry. She would have gold everything Maybe that's why I don't like it?

I'm glad you like it!
I think this is probably one of my favorite combo colors I've used so far. I didn't expect it to honestly

Perhaps yeah ... my mom is very fond of gold too. Perhaps we got bored seeing the gold color LOL

Simply stunning work! It must have been quite difficult to braid the wires without them getting to close together!?
Anyways lovely work as always! :3
