Top tip – to make sure your ring is the right size, make the
base of the ring slightly bigger than your finger, so that
when you finish your wire wrapping it should fit perfectly.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 packets 0.6mm Wire silver plated
  • 4 mm Swarovski Xilion ruby
  • 6 mm Swarovski Xilion light rose
  • 1 x Multi Pliers

Steps (3 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut 1m of wire. Thread a ruby xilion, the light rose xilion and the final ruby xilion onto the wire.
    Move to the middle and bend each side of the wire at a right angle close to the beads.

  2. 2

    If you have a ring mandrel, then use this to
    make the wire ring. I used the tube of a lip salve.
    Place the beaded part onto your former, wrap each side of the wire around the former so the
    wire sits on either side of the beads. Wrap each side of wire tightly around the bottom of the beads
    a couple of times. Finish with a wire tail on each side of the ring.

  3. 3

    Wrap each tail of the wire tightly around the ring to create a neat coil continue until the wire meets in the middle of the ring. Trim the excess
    wire and squeeze in any sharp ends using a pair of pliers.
