WIRE-WRAPPING EUGENE OVAL DIAMOND WOVEN RING BAND TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 9
Ready all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Firstly, take a 20-gauge copper wire and cut into 4 wire strings of equal lengths (fig. 1b, 1c).
Note: Use a nylon jaw pliers to pull the copper wire strings straight.
Form a ring band by wrapping the 20-gauge copper wire strings around a wooden ring mandrel (fig. 1d, 1e).
Then, paste your oval diamond under the overlapping wire band with an Adhesive Tack-It (fig. 1f, 1g).
Step 2 of 9
Next, let’s design the frame for your oval diamond (fig. 2a).
Bend the 2 outer wire strings on the bottom and top of your diamond as shown (fig. 2b, 2c, 2d).
Then, bend the 2 inner wire strings to complete a diamond shape wire frame (fig. 2e).
Slip your ring band onto a wooden ring mandrel for support while adjusting the diamond shape wire frame (fig. 2f, 2g).
Step 3 of 9
Moving on, take a 26-gauge copper wire and coil the four corners of your inner diamond shape wire frame (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d).
Step 4 of 9
Tape the 20-gauge copper ring band in place and leave the top and bottom excess wires loose (fig. 4a).
Then, pull the bottom coiled wires across the back of your diamond and split them into a V-shape (fig. 4b, 4c, 4d).
Repeat the same process on the opposite coiled wires (fig. 4e, 4f, 4g).
Make sure that the overlapping V-shape wires hold your diamond firmly in place.
