Are you a jewelry lover, don’t just stop at this post, I have been a jewelry designer and jewelry metal smith for a few years before I became pregnant and moved overseas, so hope over to my other Jewelry DIY’s on my blog. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did enjoy making each piece.
What You Need For The – DIY // Wrapped Peach Aventurine Ring:
- Artistic Wire 18-Gauge Tarnish Resistance Silver Wire
(Artistic dead soft wire 1ft) - 1 Aventurine Bead (11x6mm)
- Ring Mandrel Finger Sizer Gauges Find Exact Size Rings
- Jewelry Plier Set, Set of 5
1. Cut a piece of 18ga round dead soft wire 1 ft (30cm) long.
2. Place a 11x6mm pillow Aventurine bead in the middle of the wire. Bend the wire down as shown in the images provided.
3. Place the wire with the aventurine bead around the ring mandrel at ½ size larger than needed. Wrap the wire around the ring. There is one wire on either side of an Aventurine bead.
4. Wrap each wire twice around the Aventurine bead, one side at a time and alternate sides. Your wires will end up in opposite directions.
5. Use the wire end to wrap around the shank. Make 2-3 wraps. Cut the wire. Tuck the wire ends with chain nose pliers so they are not poking, skratching or cutting you.
6. Repeat step 5 with the other wire end.
