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.
Place one bead in the middle of the thread
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.
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.
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.
