WIRE-WRAPPING LOVELY SOLITAIRE FANCY WHITE DIAMOND RING TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 6
Ready your work station with all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Firstly, take a 20-gauge copper wire and cut it into three wire strings (fig. 1b, 1c).
Pro Tip: Use a nylon jaw pliers to straighten your copper wire strings.
Then, wrap them around a wooden ring mandrel to form a ring band (fig. 1d, 1e, 1f).
Step 2 of 6
Next, mark the size of your misty white diamond stone on the overlapping ring band wires (fig. 2a, 2b).
Then, use a chain nose pliers and make a right angle bend on the wire markings (fig. 2c):
- Downward bend on the top overlapping wires (fig. 2d).
- Upward bend on the bottom overlapping wire (fig. 2e).
Step 3 of 6
Moving on, make a second mark on your bent 20-gauge copper wires by placing your milky white diamond stone at the center (fig. 3a, 3b).
Then, use a chain nose pliers to make a 90-degree bend to the right on the second wire markings (fig. 3c, 3d, 3e).
Step 4 of 6
Now, let’s weave a texture design on the 20-gauge wire ring band with a 26-gauge copper wire (fig. 4a, 4b).
Starting from the right side of your ring band, do the following weave combo (fig. 4c, 4d):
- Make two big coils over the middle and bottom ring wires, then make one small coil on the middle wire.
- Next, make two big coils over the middle and top ring wires, then finish with one small coil on the middle wire.
Repeat the weaving process until you cover the entire ring band (fig. 4e, 4f).
