Cut the excess wire off with your flush cutters so that both ends meet at the back of the bale.
This is a beautiful pendant. An unusual and intricate piece. A great buy for the money. I love the artwork. I have looked at all the tree of life pendants and I have bought 4 different tree of life pendants this year for my 4 granddaughters.
File down the cut ends or use a cup burr to round them off so that there aren't any sharp wire ends on your finished pendant. Using your chain nose pliers again, firmly bend the filed ends down so that they aren't sticking up anymore.
