You can view me making a gold and pearl necklace on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-F33CU4O2M
You can see how difficult the gold wire is to work with, it doesn't help that it is paired with very large, round pearls that are difficult to grip.
The basic principle is to create a hoop at one end, thread the bead on, then create another hoop at the end. Simple...until you have to do 40 to create a necklace!
If I look awkward it's because I've got the camera in front of me as I try to see and stay in shot.
