I love your tutorials because they are so easy to follow! You take your time to show us every step, even measuring wire! I would love to see a tutorial on wrapping an irregularly shaped stone that's been tumbled. I have a bunch of them, but no way to wrap them so they don't look terrible! Thank you for your patience in teaching us a difficult lesson!
I was gifted a rectangular cabochon recently, and I was looking for some inspiration... and your video was in my feed. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us all.
Yes! This is exactly what i was looking for! Im trying to wire wrap my cube like carnelian and i couldnt find any good techniques until now! Thank you!
hello,tank you very much, when I had already lost hope of a saying not to cover the stone so much, your beautiful idea appeared, I am happy❤❤❤💜💜💜💗💗💗💗💗🌼🌼🌼💖💖, greetings from Costa Rica.
I really Love all your wire work..........dont always comment........alot cant...my kitty sits here......lol...........thanks for sharing your talent.....hugssss
I am so excited to see this from you! Have been concerned for not seeing something from you recently and hoping all is well with you! I feel like I was missing a friend.
Omg i have just practiced this on a sqaure cabachon fimo stone n i can not believe i have done it😁obviously it dont look as good as yours...but i only did it as a learning thing as iv only been jewellery wire wrapping for a month now n i have a rectangle tigers eye on its way to me so wanted to have a go on fimo first 😁 ha ha wish i could show you a photo of it i think u would still be proud that iv had a go lol thank you for your amazing videos x🌻
This is lovely. When using such soft metals how does it hold up to constant wearing? Does the metal eventually change color? If a child tugs on it really hard, will it come apart?
I have a ring one, but you could follow most of the pendant tutorials that have a frame going around the stone, since you can just shape and bend that frame to go around the stone you have.
May I ask you how much wire comes on a spool of sterling silver square wire 21 gauge at 1 troy ounce? I went to Rio grande and that is so confusing. Any help from anyone would be awesome. I suck at converting things to length.
@OxanaCrafts, I've been looking through your tutorials for a wrapped stone with a bail on top and a loop or something I could hang a tassel from on the bottom. Unfortunately, I haven't found one yet. Can you point me to a tutorial that shows how to wrap a stone without a hole that has a bail on top and something to link a tassel to on the bottom?
I love your video Oxana!! I have almost completed this piece but am stuck. I am using half hard Sterling wire. I am at the next step to the last, where you take the two wires, cut them and tuck them in. The wire is so hard I'm afraid to cut it because I'm not sure that I can get it tucked in. What do you think? Do you have any ideas? Thank you so much.
Maybe you can bend then in the direction they will be tucked, or even pull them through, so the wire is already in the right bend\position before you cut it
Lovely. Thank you for sharing this. One question. I seem to be getting deep tool marks with the square wire. What # sandpaper or file do you use to remove them? TIA
Thanks for sharing. This is a beautiful stone. I've been wiring a few stones but they are so slippery to work with. Any suggestions on how to keep them from sliding off?
This is a really beautiful. I see up close that the 22 gauge wire I ordered(off Amazon)will be perfect. I was wondering where did you purchase your coper wire?
@@OxanaCrafts that and I meant really that first step. Doing the little cool around the 2 pieces of wire. I can’t for the life of me get it to stay still so I can twist it
@@OxanaCrafts I’m trying to wrap a square albalone shell and I can’t for the life of me figure it out ahha I’m trying to make a present but it hasn’t worked out for me yet
So sorry I missed your comment when you first posted it. Yes it could, you'd then end up with either 2 wires in the back and 1 in front, or vice versa, instead of just 1 in back and 1 in front like in this video
i wrapped a tiger's eye cab using Oxana's Quick Beginner wire wrap basic pendant undrilled stone cab video & it turned out great. I'll post on Pinterest. Any of her tut's for a round stone would be good for a deer eye bead - what do you say Oxana? :)
Caro G your such a nice person. Now do you know how I can stop wire from tarnishing or if there is some kind of wire I can use that won’t tarnish as fast? Also what size wire do you find works best?
Thanks barbc38, :). Silver and copper do tarnish fast. Some people like the antique look. Brass and stainless steel wire don't tarnish as much though they have a different look and sheen than silver, copper and gold wire. I have sterling silver coated copper wire 20 years old that's barely tarnished because I always kept it in ziploc bags, so you can try sealing your wire or work in ziploc bags. You can get a jewelry polishing cloth to get the tarnish off. I've also heard the little silica gel bags that you find inside new purse pockets and vitamin bottles put in with silver jewelry prevent tarnish. I'm just trying it & haven't seen results yet. For wire size, it depends on what the project is. I prefer to wrap with 26 gauge, even 24 g, sometimes 28 g breaks from so much winding & it's finer. I like 18 g for a bracelet, 20 & 22 g dead soft for the base wires of a pendant. Hope this helps. Happy wiring!
Great tutorial for this newbie! I feel confident in what I'm doing because you explain every step so very well. Thank you, Oxana!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

Girl this is so great, thank you 🙏
Nice fun simple design. I used it on a vertical rectangle tiger eye. Once again thank you for a great Oxana video!!!
Yes! This is exactly what i was looking for! Im trying to wire wrap my cube like carnelian and i couldnt find any good techniques until now! Thank you!
Super easy and so helpful. Thank you!!

Thank you for the square pendent. It is wonderful
I've just ordered some half round and square copper wire; so looking forward to creating this unique style
Have fun!
Such a nice design! It's challenging for me to wrap square and rectangle cabs. This is a clever way to do it. Thank you for sharing your tallants! 💐

I am so excited to see this from you! Have been concerned for not seeing something from you recently and hoping all is well with you! I feel like I was missing a friend.
Aww thanks, I moved house, so was a bit busy and haven't had time to make new videos until now.

Looking forward to next time
Really beautiful, thank you !
Thanks for sharing your art.
I love this, thank you.
You're so welcome!
Awesome job. . You do such amazing work...thanks for sharing . . 😎 😎 😎
love the purple labradorite I would love to have a purple or a red I do not seem to be able to find them
you make it look so easy!D: thanks for sharing :)
Must not be the easiest thing to make videos for us, but we sure do appreciate it. More would be lovely as well 😁🤗
Can you do a video of wrapping a square raw stone? Thank you for a great video.
You can use this same method if your stone is raw :)
Beautiful
This is lovely. When using such soft metals how does it hold up to constant wearing? Does the metal eventually change color? If a child tugs on it really hard, will it come apart?
It holds up well, but yes a child tugging hard would bend it out of shape
You are amazing thanks
Very good! Can you do a video on hand exercises for jewelry makers?
👍💖thank u for sharing
do you have tutorial for a hexagonal crystal gemstone?
I have a ring one, but you could follow most of the pendant tutorials that have a frame going around the stone, since you can just shape and bend that frame to go around the stone you have.
stunning! Needs more views. :D

just fine sandpaper, you can tumble also
Hello I was just wondering where you buy your stones from? Is there a place online I can order them from?
Thanks for sharing. This is a beautiful stone. I've been wiring a few stones but they are so slippery to work with. Any suggestions on how to keep them from sliding off?
you can try putting that rubbery type medical tape on your fingers, or more rough cabochons like lava rock would be less slippery
@@OxanaCrafts Thanks
Thanks for creating things for beginners. Sadly, even this is beyond my grasp.
Try the basic bead tutorial, I myself started with beads before wrapping cabochons, the beads are definitely easier.
@@OxanaCrafts thank you! 😊
This is a really beautiful. I see up close that the 22 gauge wire I ordered(off Amazon)will be perfect. I was wondering where did you purchase your coper wire?
I get from Rio Grande website
@@OxanaCrafts thank you so much. ❤
How the heck do you start the twirl Idky but I can’t get it on to then start twisting it
the top decorative swirl? If yours goes a different way that is totally fine, just make whatever kind of decoration up top that works for you
@@OxanaCrafts that and I meant really that first step. Doing the little cool around the 2 pieces of wire. I can’t for the life of me get it to stay still so I can twist it
@@OxanaCrafts I’m trying to wrap a square albalone shell and I can’t for the life of me figure it out ahha I’m trying to make a present but it hasn’t worked out for me yet
Can this be done with 3 wires?
So sorry I missed your comment when you first posted it. Yes it could, you'd then end up with either 2 wires in the back and 1 in front, or vice versa, instead of just 1 in back and 1 in front like in this video
@@OxanaCrafts That's quite alright. No need to apologize. I gave it a shot. It came out pretty well.
Where do you get your cabachons from?
May I know... what cutter are you using?
The Xuron brand
I recently bought a couple of xuron tools. It has made all the difference!
Could you please show how you would wrap a tiger eye and a deer eye bead?
i wrapped a tiger's eye cab using Oxana's Quick Beginner wire wrap basic pendant undrilled stone cab video & it turned out great. I'll post on Pinterest. Any of her tut's for a round stone would be good for a deer eye bead - what do you say Oxana? :)
Caro G thank you. I appreciate any help I can get. It’s what I like to do and want to learn more. Thank you again.
