  Step 1

  Begin with enough wire to overlap whatever size you want your ring to be (make ring 2 sizes larger than intended finish size to accommodate for the weave). I used 18 gauge silver square wire as my base.

• 

  Step 2

  Slide your bead on the wire. I used a 9mm glass bead. Cut the wire ends flush against eachother and file.

• 

  Step 3

  Solder the edges of the wire. I used a rosin core flux so I just cut off a tiny piece of solder, wedged it between the wire edges and heated up the wire with my iron. This also may be completed using a torch.

• 

  Step 4

  Use a small gauge wire (I used 26 gauge sterling silver wire). I used about a foot of this in the next few steps. Wrap around the solder join until you have a coil around the wire about 1/4". Repeat on the other side of the bead.

• 

  Step 5

  Take another piece of small gauge wire and begin to wrap it around the coil just like in the previous step.

• 

  Step 6

  Bring the long tail of the wire around and make an overhand wrap around the other side of the bead.

• 

  Step 7

  Continue this wrap until you have reached the ends of the coils. Wrap the tail of the wire around the base of the ring a couple times to hold it in place.

That is very cute. It's a little hard for me to follow tutorials vs. a video, but when I get the chance, I'd love to try this!
