Nothing feels better then wearing a wire wrapped jewelry piece knowing that you made it. It might seem a little complicated it’s not! Follow the easy steps to make this stunning turquoise ring for yourself!

Materials –

– 2 ft of 22 gauge metal, silver, or gold wire,
– 1 Semi- precious stone bead of your choice,
– A ring mandrel €“ used to form rings of your desired size
– Wire cutter
– Flat nose pliers
– A good grip.

Follow these easy steps –

– Begin by wrapping one end of the wire around the Mandrel four times.

– Keeping the wire band wrapped tightly around the ring form, string the bead through the long end of the wire and wrap it three times tightly around the 4-layered band, at the end closest to the beads hole.

– Continue to wrap the wire four times beneath the stone, around the wire going through the bead. This will create a platform where the stone will sit.

– Then, again tightly wrap the wire three times around the 4 -layered band closest the beads hole.

– Finish by cutting the end of the wire and pushing it flat with your pliers so that it doesn€™t poke you

By the time you master this wire craft your hands will be blinging and you€™ll be in the market for a new jewelry box. With a little extra free time over the holiday break, explore you inner artist with this DIY idea!
