Tree of Life Pendants: Need Help with the Technique Please

by Clare Laws.
(Congresbury (near Bristol))

These are my first Tree of Life earrings. What do you think?

Hello everyone,
I really love making Tree of Life Pendants but am having trouble keeping the outer circle circular when wrapping the numerous strands of wire to form the tree. I have used memory wire which helps but it usually makes the pendant to big.

I had real trouble keeping the outer circle on this one circular. What do you think?

Is there a specific wire gauge that will ensure that the wire does not bend?

Should I hammer the wire?
If anyone can help me i would really appreciate it as i would love to showcase my jewellery at local craft shops, but to do that they need to look really professional.

This is my first wire wrapped Tree of Life pendant set i made. What do you think?

I have provided some pictures of Tree of Life Pendants i have been working on, i would love to hear your comments no matter good or bad (seriously) regarding what you think of them. I won’t be offending.
Many many thanks!
