Wire-Wrapping Vintage Oval Ruby Red Cabochon Cuff Bracelet Tutorial

Step 8 of 17

Moving on, let’s add beautiful vintage details onto your cuff bracelet.

Start with two strings of 18-gauge gold copper wire and bend them in half for the double wire effect (fig. 8a).

Then, make two U-curves on the 18-gauge wires and tape them in place on the sides of your ruby red cabochon wire net frame (fig. 8b, 8c).

Next, anchor the loose 18-gauge wires on the bracelet with the crisscross wrapping technique (fig. 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h, 8i, 8j).

Step 9 of 17

On the right side of your bracelet, pull the remaining 18-gauge wires upwards into a wire bundle (fig. 9a, 9b).

Then, curl a small loop from the top with the wire bundle as shown (fig. 9c, 9d, 9e).

Make a second loop with a bottom curl direction (fig. 9f, 9g, 9h).

Step 10 of 17

Next, make two loose wraps on the right side of your bracelet with your remaining 18-gauge wire bundle (fig. 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d).

End the design with two tight wraps  (fig. 10e, 10f, 10g, 10h).
