wire Cabochon Ring Tutorial

​Ever fancied making a cabochon wire wrapped ring?

Here is a cute swirly wire wrapping idea perfect for round cabochons.

More varieties coming soon.

 

This wrap works really well with 8mm-12mm round cabochons. It also works with ovals, you just need to get the placement right to hold the cab in place. I also find thinner wire is easier on ovals.

 

The Amethyst is wrapped in 0.8mm/20g non tarnish round copper wire and the Lapiz lazuli and green agate are both wrapped in 0.6mm/22g silver plated copper wire.

I use copper in most of my tutorials as its really cost effective and i do love the colour!

I have used:

Ring Mandrel

Wire Cutters

Needle Nosed Pliers

A pencil & Ruler

 

Happy crafting :)
