So, I just started wire wrapping 5 days ago and I liked it, a lot!! Your instructions are perfectly easy to follow and the finished products are stunning. Now I love it!!! Thanks soooo much young lady, for sharing your amazing talent n skill.
Oxana i LOVE your work, your ideas inspire so much in me.. thank you for sharing this art with us! A quick TIP for my fellow Artists: * I use a tiny dab of Jewelry Glue to get the gemstone to stay in play as I wrap it with wire. * This is especially helpful if the wire you are using turns out to be much harder to bend than expected..(example) brass, bronze, or half-hard wire. * Use a 5x7mm gemstone. It doesnt have to be a cabochon but it makes it a tad easier. A 4x3 is likely waayyyyy too small and is better for earings (glue them to a backing). An 8x10 is still nice but it WILL be a BIG ring that will get everyones attention.
This was an amazing tutorial. It's the best wire wrap ring that I've ever seen that looks like a ring purchased at a fine jewelry store. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
This was a fantastic tutorial! Thank you for doing this!!! I wrap pendants on the regular but have never tried a ring! This is a great basic tutorial that gives an easy example to dive deeper into. Thank you! 🤗
I do love your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching me so much. Last summer I took a class on wire and my teacher taught us to use thin tape (like you get at an auto shop for pin striping) to hold stubborn wires together and also cabs in place. Once you have them secured just grab them with your pliers and they come off clean. I hope somebody can use this tip, it makes it so much easier for me.
I've done a similar but not quite the same ring but I put a dab of fast drying jewelry glue to hold the stone in place. I plan to try this since I have a lot of tiny cabochons from an assortment I got years ago.
Looks great! I cut & polish lots of opals and will have to try this. I’m not as nimble as you & would probably use a dab of super glue to hold my opal in place.
Very nice little ring but that wire looked like it was a booger to work with. You did do a great job working with that hard wire. I'm sure the ring feels much more stable with bronze wire, then it would with the softer copper and its a very cute ring. Thank you for sharing your technique I enjoyed watching your video
this is the first video of yours that I've watched and I'm thrilled to have found you! I love your teaching style and look forward to checking out more of your tutorials! thank you :)
I love your videos they are so easy to follow. Would you do a short video on your storage system and give tips on newbies. Thanks and keep the videos coming they are great and so inspiring!
So easy to follow your instructions. I have 2, 7mm trilliant settings that I'm going to try and do this wrapping technique with. One for me and one for my granddaughter. I've never done wire wrapping, but why not try? Will definitely be checking out more of your videos. 👍😊
I use this design alllll the time and so appreciate this tutorial. I made ome altercation tho and instead of snipping the center half round Wire I use the ends to set my stone before trying to wrap the outer wires and it seems to help a lot with making sure it's good and trapped. :)
Love your tutorials, clear and precise. thank you. just a question? how do you manage to not leave any scratches or marks on your wire with your tools? I can never see any.. thanks.
I so love your tutorials! I am a just beginning wrapping and your videos are easy to follow and I can actually see what you are doing and you explain everything well. I like that you explain why things are done a certain way since I am a beginner I appreciate knowing why things are done a certain way. Thank you so much!!
Small round stones such as cubics or swarovski can be gypsy set in the side swirl. Make the curl the same size diameter as the stone and press down flat against ring shank as shown in video. Press the stone into the hole making sure the stone's shoulder is well inside. Use a prong pusher or round tipped metal object and press down on the wire swirl pushing the inner edge down around the stone to "set" it.
Hi. Love your videos on rings, thank you. I am a complete beginner and just wondering about the metals which are to be worn on fingers? Will they oxidize, go green or not? Do the finished rings need to be treated with something? Thanks in anticipation.
Sometimes copper can turn skin green is constantly rubbing against it, like rings do. But I find that most people do not mind this because copper is believe to have healing qualities. But if you want to avoid the green you can just use another type of metal, or coated wire like Artistic Wire or Zebra Wire brands.
wow, this is amazing. can't wait to try it. I love dainty smaller rings. I wonder is there a sterling silver or gold plated type of wire out there and could we use it in this case? I am sensitive to some metals.. especially nickel maybe copper not sure about this bronze :(
I am starting to learn about wrapping crystals and this video has so much information. Not confusing at all. Thank you so much. You just got a new subscriber 💜
It's beautiful it looks like a eye almost! Your channel inspired my wire rings and cuffs and one ring i played with LOL you have a tutorial for which is great! I love wire wrapping because you always get something neat and is hard to make the same exact thing twice because it's like a sculpture so they all don't turn out the same. Thank you for inspiring me and making me see how much talent i had I just had to have faith in myself. I love your channel. I want to learn how to wrap more then one undrilled stone and with drilled stones if you could do a wire woven tutorial for wrapping 3 gemstones
Love this ring!!! So cute and great method. BTW... Love all your video and great ideas... Thanks for all the inspiration.. You definitely are my Quarantine Guru! ❤️❤️
Thank you for the tutorial. Im not sure if you mention it but what are the measurements of the wires you've cut? Thanks in advance and sincere apologies if I missed it...
Felicidades esta hermoso el tutorial y facilicimo....mil gracias . Lo hice con opalo natural un poco más grande y quedo hermoso. Ojalá haga pronto otro tutorial de anillo....sencillo y pequeño....me encanta ese tipo de joyería
Hi Oxana thank you for the beautiful tutorial I also gave some mini stones and was stuck not knowing what to do with them 😀 what size wire would be best in silver half hard and silver filled soft wire ... what gauge would you use as I don't have any of what you used .... thanks your very gifted and nah the most beautiful things 😀 x
Bronze is beautiful but more firm so harder to work with. Also, it doesn't come in as many different sizes. If I could get a thinner half round bronze wire I'd probably use bronze more
What a great ring project!! Would this design work for a bangle bracelet?? Does this have to be an oval cab?? Thanks for this great tutorial ... it's timeless!
I hadn't thought of bracelet, but yes I suppose it would, like a bangle that you slip on. Cab can be other shapes, but oval is probably easiest to secure
I currently use silver plated wire that is tarnish resistant. How does copper wire hold up? Does it turn people's fingers green or anything? Are people allergic? Looking for some advice!!
@@OxanaCrafts thank you for the quick response! I guess I'm wondering why I see so many people use copper wire in videos if it doesn't wear well? What are the benefits? Do crafters price their pieces to reflect this? Thanks!! Im fairly new to jewelry making so I'm still learning 😊
You make this look so simple…. The sign of a true leader/professional/artist 👏👏👏
That looks like it is from a jeweler. Pretty.
So, I just started wire wrapping 5 days ago and I liked it, a lot!! Your instructions are perfectly easy to follow and the finished products are stunning.
Now I love it!!!
Thanks soooo much young lady, for sharing your amazing talent n skill.

love how you twisted the wire to make the rope like affect, makes all the difference! beautiful design, i can't wait to try this out!

You helped me make my first cab ring! I've been following your tutorials since I started wrapping 7 years ago. Thank you so much for sharing!

Painters tape works well too! I used to use it for tree of life pendants
This tutorial is terrific. Beginner friendly.
I've done a similar but not quite the same ring but I put a dab of fast drying jewelry glue to hold the stone in place. I plan to try this since I have a lot of tiny cabochons from an assortment I got years ago.
You have made the impossible plausible for even someone like myself with absolutely no experience whatsoever........I thank you!
You make this look so easy. Mine looks like a 3 year old did it. Practice practice practice.
Looks great! I cut & polish lots of opals and will have to try this. I’m not as nimble as you & would probably use a dab of super glue to hold my opal in place.
Yes you can use a bit of glue to help hold it, although I don't know if the glue would react with the opal in any way
I like the way you doing this rings. Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Incredible!! whom taught you how to do that,great craftsmanship. Enjoyed this tremendously God Bless
Very nice little ring but that wire looked like it was a booger to work with. You did do a great job working with that hard wire. I'm sure the ring feels much more stable with bronze wire, then it would with the softer copper and its a very cute ring.

A beautiful ring, a beautiful way to use a cabochon. Thank you for such a clear tutorial!
many thanks. because of this video i now wrap rings. blessings✨
Thank you for this tutorial! Just wrapped a peridot gemstone using this tutorial and it came out great
Love your tutorials, clear and precise. thank you. just a question? how do you manage to not leave any scratches or marks on your wire with your tools? I can never see any.. thanks.
I do make marks, I just use sandpaper to buff them out
Thank out so very much Oxana. You make experimenting and trying new things approachable and almost easy 😄
I made one last night. Very pretty. I used round stone and a tad bigger.
A superb design for a small stone.
I love this ring! You teach so well..thanku once again Oxana 🌼
You are very welcome!
I so love your tutorials! I am a just beginning wrapping and your videos are easy to follow and I can actually see what you are doing and you explain everything well. I like that you explain why things are done a certain way since I am a beginner I appreciate knowing why things are done a certain way. Thank you so much!!
Exquisite !! I've viewed countless wire wrapped rings.. this is by far the best of all. Thank you for sharing !!!
very pretty Oxana love it Thanks for showing how to wrap a small cab. huggers.
I bought synthetic opal "sheets" and am making cabochons and doing inlay. Going to use silver wire and do this ring.
Small round stones such as cubics or swarovski can be gypsy set in the side swirl. Make the curl the same size diameter as the stone and press down flat against ring shank as shown in video. Press the stone into the hole making sure the stone's shoulder is well inside.

Hi Oxana. I love your work! Thanks for sharing. Your are a very nice person I wish you all the best.
This is my fav wire ring thanks for sharing.

Sweet & very simple. Great tutorial.
Thank you for this!! I've been struggling trying to figure out what to do with my other small opals so this is perfect!!
That is such a pretty ring. Thank you so much for this tutorial!!
I am starting to learn about wrapping crystals and this video has so much information. Not confusing at all. Thank you so much. You just got a new subscriber 💜
awesome , I just bought a lovely boulder opal , now I know what to do with it
It’s so beautiful very inspiring but nerve wrenching I had panic attacks about it 💖
Qué ermoso anillo gracias x conpartir Dios te bendiga tomando abrazó bendiciones
Your work is superb! Now that I've seen others! 🙄🙄🙄🤪❤️❤️
Thank you!
I'm loving it Oxana i always get excited when i see one of your tutorials!

Me encanta ..es un ópalo de fuego?
Ethiopian Welo Opal
We have the same seller in opals, :) I got some that size as well, beautiful ring, the hard wire was what I was doing wrong, thanks for your time.
I want to buy some tiny opals, can you tell me where i can buy them
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Thank you!
U make it look so easy. Thank you for the tutorial
Very beautiful ring. Thanks for sharing your talent
This is beautiful. Very impressed.

Wonderful video! Thank you so much!
Question...can I put a small drop of glue on the base to hold my stone in place better?
Thank you for your help!
Yes you can!
Thank you for the tutorial. Im not sure if you mention it but what are the measurements of the wires you've cut? Thanks in advance and sincere apologies if I missed it...
The thicker base wires were 12 inches each
Felicidades esta hermoso el tutorial y facilicimo....mil gracias .
Lo hice con opalo natural un poco más grande y quedo hermoso.
Ojalá haga pronto otro tutorial de anillo....sencillo y pequeño....me encanta ese tipo de joyería
Oh thank you for this tutorial. I bought a tiny welo opal and was struggling to do Anything with it
So glad your back making tutorials! I missed you..... Thank you!
Just love your work! It's really so pretty !!!
This is absolutely beautiful, gorgeous, I WANT TO COPYCAT THIS!!!!!! Slimkim from MI xoxoxo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍
When I feel confident enough to try this technique, I believe I'll cheat and use a tiny bit of hot glue to hold the stone for me. :)
That's exactly what I was going to suggest!
Use e600 instead :)
E6000 works great for that.
@@wandaburns8075 what is e600 ?
i was thinking the same exact thing 😉
Great tutorial! I can't wait to try it.
So glad you liked it!
Wow so beautiful
Hi Oxana thank you for the beautiful tutorial I also gave some mini stones and was stuck not knowing what to do with them 😀 what size wire would be best in silver half hard and silver filled soft wire ... what gauge would you use as I don't have any of what you used .... thanks your very gifted and nah the most beautiful things 😀 x
Excellent, but you can put the stone on glue E6000 for easy work
OMG, I just saw some of your videos..where have you been...I love them all!! You are definitely inspiring me!! I'm so happy i saw your channel.
I have a lot of small stones. I'm going to try this.
do you think it would be possible to do something similar to this but with a pearl? beautiful design!
Very gorgeous ring, excellent tutorial, GREATLY appreciated sharing your valuable skill
Hello, your works are beautiful, congratulations!! Where can I find the wires you use, I can't find them in Brazil! 😔
I buy mine from riogrande.com they ship internationally
I'll look for them, thanks for the feedback!
How do you like bronze vs copper for making jewelry? I just ordered a bunch of copper wire but i would like to expand into other metals
Bronze is beautiful but more firm so harder to work with. Also, it doesn't come in as many different sizes. If I could get a thinner half round bronze wire I'd probably use bronze more
What a great ring project!! Would this design work for a bangle bracelet?? Does this have to be an oval cab?? Thanks for this great tutorial ... it's timeless!
I hadn't thought of bracelet, but yes I suppose it would, like a bangle that you slip on. Cab can be other shapes, but oval is probably easiest to secure
Will you be doing another ring tutorial with a larger cab? It would be awesome!! You rock!
Very very nice. . You did an awesome job. . Definitely gonna try this. Thanks for sharing . . Love love love it. 😎 😎 😎
Lo voy hacer. Gracias
I currently use silver plated wire that is tarnish resistant. How does copper wire hold up? Does it turn people's fingers green or anything? Are people allergic? Looking for some advice!!
Yes copper can turn skin green and it will darken\tarnish over time as well.
@@OxanaCrafts thank you for the quick response! I guess I'm wondering why I see so many people use copper wire in videos if it doesn't wear well? What are the benefits?
Do crafters price their pieces to reflect this? Thanks!! Im fairly new to jewelry making so I'm still learning 😊
YOUR AMAZING!!! am learning so much.I want to try this with solid gold wire.
You're so awesomely talented Oxana! May I ask where you purchase your wire? Thanks 😊
Thank you, from a website called Rio Grande
Thank you! Great and clear tutorial❤️
Thank you!
Artistic hands
Great design,great tutorial thank you
Would love to see more ring videos!
You said it’s better work with copper , but I loved the color of the ring that you made
Thank you, I do love the color of the bronze, it is just a bit more firm so harder to work with.
It’s ok if I use the bronze half round wire 22 g ?
Great idea! Thank you so much! I have tons of small cabochons from a grab bag that I quite didn't know if I could use or not!!!
Soooooo awesome! So glad you r doing a tutorial on a Band that looks great! Thank u😊
I used a little of bit of E6000 to hold the cabochon on and it was a lot easier to wrap.
Beautiful work💎♥️
