 You went to the beach and collected tones of really cute shells, beach glass and stones. No wait you went to the bead store and raided all their cool polished stones. Now what? Well here is a fun project that you can do with all those awesome treasures. A wire wrap ring that is so fun you won't be ab;e to stop making them.

Materials
  1. Tumbled stone (Preferably with angles and oblong)
  2. 18g wire 2.5-3.5ft (depending on stone and ring size)


Tools
  1. Round nose pliers
  2. Flat nose pliers
  3. Cutters
  4. File
  5. Ring mandrel
  6. Sharpie

​

  1. Find wire center and mark it
  2. Wrap wire around ring mandrel two times , starting at the top of the mandrel.
  3. Use ½-1 size larger than the one you want to end with, exp I want a size 7 ring so I make band on a 7.5-8 on the mandrel.

  1. Wrap the wires around each other going in opposite directions and keeping the flat against the band.

  2. Continue wrapping these tails in a spiral fashion to create a rosette center for the stone to sit on

  1. Place stone on the rosette

  2. Wrap one tail around the stone two times then go under the band and across to the other side and wrap once around the other side

  3. Wrap under the band and then around the band twice to secure the wrap 

  4. Cut the end on the outside of the band to 1/8"  file and flatten it down on the outside band

  1. Now wrap the other tail in the same manner around the stone and through the band to the other side of the ring.

  2. Wrap twice around the band, cut to outside, file and flatten

  3. If stone feels loose feel free to tweak the wires in a zig zag fashion under the band or all over to make an organic look.

  4. Place back on the mandrel and reshape or size as needed.
  5. Smooth out any scratches or dings with file or polishing clothe
