| How to Wire Wrap a Herringbone Ring Posted: 10 Mar 2012 04:00 AM PST The basic single stone wire wrapped ring is relatively easy to make and does not require soldering. You can either use a ring mandrel or dowels which give you the right dimension for the sizes you want.  One lovely variation is the herringbone wire wrap ring tutorial I came across is by Elle Gee Designs. The wrapping style is much neater than the informal wrapping of many ring tutorials. It does require you solder the main ring first which is not that hard to do if you have a soldering iron and a bit of flux as she explains. When you heat up the ring by touching it with the soldering iron, the flux melts and melds the edges together. Make sure the edges are filed so they meet well in the first place! Not into soldering? Then check out the other tutorials in the links below. Via Before You Go:

| An Afternoon of Crystal Jewelry Galore! Posted: 10 Mar 2012 04:33 AM PST Who can resist the sparkle of crystals? Sue clearly loves crystals! She created several pieces based on clear and grey crystals at a couple of workshops conducted by Debbie, my good friend. What Sue did was braid the light colored beading wire for a delightful variation on the illusion style of jewelry making.  As you can see, the crystals perfectly matched the beautiful lamp work focal pendant Sue had. She also created matching earrings and a bracelet.   Sue also decided to makeover a more than 50-year-old strand of lovely clear crystals turning into a matching set of 3 pieces!  Beader Designs # : 690-691 Before You Go :
