I bought an apatit as an amulet and I was looking for a way to wear it.
I twisted a wire, inserting a toothpick every few turns. I flattened it with a pair of round pliers. The same I did with the rest of the wire which would make the cage.
However, the wire was then fragile and I had like five messed tries before it finally didn't crack.
I couldn't flatten the wire around the upper eyelet and at the ends that connect the cage wire toghether. These were the words places where it always broke during shaping.
The apatit necklace for good communication :-)
