Welcome to my jewellery making course.

This course will focus making wire wrapping, specifically making wire wrapped rings.

We will be making the rings shown above.

The final ring, the cocktail ring pictured second, will be a challenged. This challenge will test your knowledge, specifically which weave to use and how to design the ring.

The prong set ring, pictured third, was a design that took some thought. I wanted a prong set definitely took some time. I was looking at some rings that were made by casting and soldering metal and I loved the simplicity. The usual prong setting design in wire wrapping usually requires a lot of wire. There is also a shortage of wire wrapped ring tutorials that use This can lead to a clunky ring that is too big. I also wanted the stone to stand out. When you look at the ring from the top, you only see the stone.

The Rose ring, pictured first, was my personal favourite. I used silver, copper and gold wire to create it. I felt that this added dimension to the piece. The band was made using 1mm thick wire, which was a first for me. I used a fish tail pattern to create the ring band weave. This pattern is usually made using two separate weaving wires, but I modified it to only use one. I then "coloured" the ring by using the gold wire for the pollen and the copper wire for red petals.

The gold Ice ring, pictured last, was made using bicone beads. I love bicone beads because of their facets. They just glimmer beautifully in a way that no other type of beads do. I also used gold wire to give it that classic look. I used three different types of weaving techniques to add to the detail. I also used a hammer to flatten parts of the ring to add different textures.

I worked hard on making this course and I hope it you enjoy it.
