A very common way of wire wrapping side drilled beads is just to take the wire around the top of the bead several times. Bored with that? Here is an alternative wire wrapped tear drop briolette pendant tutorial from the House of Gems.
The design uses little beads and loops to create a wonderful detail above the bead.
The tutorial can be downloaded as a PDF from Slide Share. If you have an iPad or an iPhone, use the iBooks app from Apple to save it on your device. Note you have to flip to the PDFs section of the app to find it.
