Wire-Wrapping Vintage Oval Ruby Red Cabochon Cuff Bracelet Tutorial

Step 5 of 17

Let’s create the body of your cuff bracelet.

Next, take a short string of 8-gauge gold copper wire and place it on top of a base metal plate (fig. 5a, 5b).

Flatten the 8-gauge wire with a flat round face hammer (fig. 5c, 5d).

Then, use a bracelet measurement tool and mark your desired bracelet size with a pen (fig. 5e, 5f).

Step 6 of 17

Trim off the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 6a).

Next, create the cuff gap for your bracelet by trimming extra one inch off your bracelet  (fig. 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e).

Smoothen the trimmed ends using the flat side of a ball pen hammer (fig. 6f).

Your cuff bracelet is complete.

Step 7 of 17

Now, you will combine the ruby red cabochon wire net frame onto your bracelet (fig. 7a, 7b).

Place your wire net frame in the middle of your bracelet (fig. 7c, 7d).

Then, anchor the wire net frame in place by wrapping the 20-gauge loose wires on the bracelet:

• Right loose wire (fig. 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h).
• Left loose wire (fig. 7i, 7j, 7k, 7l).

Your bracelet centerpiece is complete.
