This is a very simple ring. I made it from gold beads my mother gave to me. She had a similar ring before, it broke, and I tried to repair it...

You Will Need (2 things)

  • 25 cm Elastic Thread
  • Bead(s) (Silver/Gold/Whatever) (2-3mm diameter are best)

Steps (5 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Get your materials. I used 14kt gold beads with a 3 mm diameter and transparent elastic thread (0.5 mm in diameter), about 25 cm for a medium ring size.

  2. 2

    Place one bead in the middle of the thread

  3. 3

    Add two more beads and keep them centered on the thread.
    Take a fourth bead and thread your elastic wire through it from both sides (see picture).
    You get a small diamond shape.

  4. 4

    Go on like this:
    put one bead on each of the two thread ends, then take a third and thread the wire from both sides through. then again two beads...
    Go on until the "ring" is long enough to fit around your finger.

  5. 5

    For finishing take one bead on each thread end again and thread both ends through the very first bead from step 1.
    Make a knot - and then you're finished.
