Welcome to the heart of LSDesigns. This is where you’ll find every pendant tutorial, organised to help you build your skills, understand the techniques, and develop your own designs one step at a time.
Every pendant on this page has been broken down into its key stages, allowing you to build your skills one step at a time. Rather than simply copying a finished design, you can mix and match different stone grips, bail designs and wire finishes to create designs that go beyond the original tutorial.
You might choose Grip No.3 from A Bit Odd In It, combine it with Bail No.4 from Deco in Bloom, then complete it with **Finish No.2 (Twisted). Or, if you prefer, simply follow the original project exactly as it was designed. The choice is entirely yours.
Every lesson is marked with a recommended skill level, from beginner through to advanced, so you can choose techniques that match your experience and confidence. As your skills grow, so do the number of design combinations you can create.
