You legend! When you warned about how it was more complex than usual I was getting worried, but the video with the pictures as well as your explanation made it less complex and more just a lot of steps.
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing. I cant wait to try it. I love tumbled semi precious stones too and I am tired of turning them all into pendants. LOL. Although one can never have enough pendants and bracelets, rings are awesome. Especially ones you make yourself. So great. Thanks Denise.
Thanks for the tutorial, was nice, and don't worry about the sound of the background because it sounds like the ocean, I didn't know it was your fan until you mentioned it.
You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can watch all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days =)
Great tutorial, I'm looking to make a sea glass ring and I think I can use this, I have 12 gauge wire could I use this for the ring itself and use finer wire for the setting part?
+constanceandtroy01 Yes I think you could do that, I would use probably a 16-18 gauge wire for the setting based on the size of the sea glass piece you're using and what will hold it well. The only issue with using the twelve gauge is the stiffness of the wire which can make it hard to work with but other than that it should be fine. I also have another version of this type of torch less Ring that you might want to check out for added tips, here's the link if you're interested. Good luck with your project it sounds like it's going to be beautiful.
If you use a heavy enough gauge like a 16-18, based on the size of your stone, if it’s really large then a 12 to 14 is better. The prongs need to be filed well and pushed close to the stone so they don’t pull on your clothes. Alternatively you can make a small curl in the prongs and push it flat against the stone. Hope this helps.😊
This was so helpful, thank you!!! I have 2 questions. Is there a way to make something similar but to leave an opening under the stone so that it can still be touching the skin? I find that I need to feel the stone on my skin in order to receive the full benefits of the energy of the stone, and secondly, the stone I’m planning on using is a huge piece of moldavite. It’s not an inexpensive stone, so I am wondering how stable this wrap ends up being? Are the prongs strong enough that you don’t have concern that the stone will fall out? I would be absolutely heartbroken if I lost this particular piece!!! Thanks again for sharing!!
The wrap is stable and I have used it with larger stones, you’ll have to go with a larger gauge for the prongs to ensure stability. It’s difficult to adjust this design to touch the skin as all the wraps that are used at the base give it the stability. The only other option I could see for what you want is a soldered design or metalsmithing where you use a torch to solder joints. You could do a circle base and prongs coming up around the stone. Hope this helps. 😊
it’s a ring mandrel, you can get it at beadaholique.com or or amazon.com or if you live in North America you can get it at Micheals craft store. Hope this helps 😊
What do you think about a mans ring having two type of precious stones on each side. ??? For instant having green emerald stones on one side of the rings shoulder and red rubies on the other shoulder side of the ring..?? How would it look to you ??
+The Prince8 I'm not sure if two stones would work in this design, but you could try, I would be concerned about the stability of them staying in place because they would only have prongs on one side of each stone. If you did use two stones then you would probably need to pack them in quite tight to hold them in place. Red and green will go together, my only concern might be that it might have a Christmas type feel, but that could be just me. Either color on its own would work perfectly, even dark stones like a deep blue sapphire or an onyx would look really nice. Hope this helps. 😊
+Willow Vitanovitz thanks for the comment. I also have a version 2 of the same style ring if you want to check it out ua-cam.com/video/4QqFTO9dpHo/v-deo.html Good luck with your project 😊
Molto buona l'idea, però mi dà l'impressione che la struttura dell'anello sia troppo sottile per sostenere una pietra, ma magari è solo un'impressione, comunque adesso proverò a farlo con un filo più grosso, grazie tante per averlo pubblicato !!

just found your video. It was what I needed for a bunch of stones my sister gave me after she tumbled them. Can't wait to try this!
+Ellie Jones I just posted an updated version that you might want to check out in case you like the method better, good luck with your projects :)
The only video I've seen that's cute wrapping and uses non beaded crystals!

Hi , can you advise how to file the sharp points without hurting the wire ?
+Dace Damon A nail file or a jewelry file should help to even out the sharp ends. Hope this helps and thanks for your question. ;) Denise
Thank you 😊
Thank you! Love this and will definitely be making some of these! 👍
Great Video! Thank you very much!
+Elizabeth Vallely glad you liked it and thanks for your comment 😊
Great vídeo! But won't the wire be too weak? Won't the rocks fell of if the wire gets cough on clothing?

Denise Mathew it does! Thank you!

Thanks!❤
Thank you for your opinion , I go with rubies my birthday it will be on July so I go with rubies
+The Prince8 that's going to look amazing, I love rubies too, good luck with your project.
Where do you get the tube to wrap the wire around to get the correct size when you start? Where can I buy it? Thanks Ron
it’s a ring mandrel, you can get it at beadaholique.com or or amazon.com or if you live in North America you can get it at Micheals craft store. Hope this helps 😊
Good video!
Very interesting, can't wait to try....background music is a bit distracting.
What type of wire is this
it’s silver plated wire 😊

Can you use a Cabochon? If not do you think it would work? This a very beautiful design!

كيف تحصلين على هذه الاحجار
very nice
very cool
This is cooool!
whenever i do this the prongs are not well fitted around the stone and the stone wiggles around a lot. Any tips for making it nice and tight?
Sometimes if you hammer the ends(tips) of the wire prongs before you push them up around the stone it can help hold it in place( they are flatter and might rest against the stone better) and also make sure that you don't cut the prongs too short because if you do it might cause it to be less stable and wiggly. Hope this helps 😊
+Denise Mathew i wont give up~! i should try using a smaller gage too, i think i was using 18 or 20 for the prongs.
Thank you so much! Stay tuned Incase I have questions :)) you are appreciated
Awesome tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Rosebud Selleck ;)
+rosebud thanks😊
I just bought a small chunk of Amethyst this might be perfect for. Wish me luck, LOL
+Leeland Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions. I love amethyst, such a beautiful stone ;) Denise

+Sooner8 Thanks for your comment :) Denise
Am just wondering how there are people on this world who disliked this video....😏
Char Bev I have to agree. There has to be a way to make all that wire attractive. Maybe a patterened wrap?
semuanya yg terbaik untuk kita semua years
