Cabochon Wire Wrapped Sized Ring Tutorial

[@karenescalera8193]

Beautiful! Thanks for the tip on keeping the wires separated as that’s been one of my problems as i tend to pull hard on them. As with a lot of craft forms tension is the name of the game! Looking forward to more inspiring projects 🙏

[@OrriG]

I love how I can follow your tutorials with the sound off. They're so clear.

[@lilbearjh]

tried it today. turned out pretty dang good, a bit different than your's but i'm so happy with it! this is a great tutorial...thanks for posting it!

[@jeremyhall3162]

I've been looking for a way to set stones with a ring for a few weeks now. This is absolutely perfect!

[@normabyrd274]

I've been struggling with wrapping cabs. Haven't tried wire weaving yet. Hopefully this technique is something I can do. You do make it very clear! Thanks!

[@yayacentella]

Beautiful. It looks like an eye

[@wildchery8666]

thank you so much . I knew I could put my little cabachons into rings but had no idea how. in love with these

[@ieatcaribou7852]

You did a great job explaining this. A tiger's eye would look really good in this.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you!

[@martioneal3482]

I love it. I love how you describe everything which makes it so much easier. Thank you for being such an awesome teacher.

Awesome! I have so many little cabochons that I had no idea what to do with - Now I do! Thank you!

[@tamanidivine]

Wow, Lovely. I've had trouble make rings with gems that have no hole. Great weaving.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you!

[@sharonrowland1196]

Oxana I love your Eye Ring 💍👍 👍 it's beautiful ❤️ wish I could make a Ring 💍 like that 👍👍👍 GORGEOUS 👍👍👍

[@jazzy_jz]

I'm wondering, how do you keep the wire on the spool while not allowing it to twist on itself and work harden? Thank you so much for your great tutorials! I am inspired by your every one

[@OxanaCrafts]

the wire I buy already comes on a spool, I don't spool it myself

[@jazzy_jz]

@@OxanaCrafts Ok, thanks!

[@ravisharma345]

Thanks to show nice wonderful design lovely design

[@wandaburns8075]

Love your ring tuts, can't wait to try this one.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you!

[@katybender7094]

Great tutorial can't wait to try! Only question is how did you harden the ring from where you used dead soft wire? If you don't harden it won't it alter shapes when touched?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I did not harden it, it holds its shape fine. Thank you! :)

[@katybender7094]

Thank you! I've been low-key stressing over if I don't harden the dead soft wire! Lol

[@BlooStorm1]

Thx. Just ordered some. Enjoy your tutorials

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you!

[@SilharaTheChosen]

Really awesome tutorial......Way to go Oxana!!

[@kaybee11982]

have you ever used silver filled and sterling silver?? which would be better for wire wrapping and non tarnishing? what is the difference between the two?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I have used both, they both work well. Some silver filled may be non-tarnish coated, so beware if you plan to oxidize as the coated will not oxidize. The difference is sterling silver is silver all the way through, and silver filled has a core of copper in the middle, and thus costs less.

[@RosaButton]

Will it stain my finger even if I oxidize it? Great video

[@adas.2729]

I LOVE your videos! Do you have a specific brand you would recommend for the wire? Does this copper wire cause discoloration on the skin?

[@OxanaCrafts]

Copper can stain the skin yes, if you want to avoid this you can use coated wire, like the kind that Parawire sells, you just have to be a little more careful with it so you don't scratch off the coating when you work with it.

[@murcielago241]

Thank you I like your tools

[@OxanaCrafts]

You are welcome!

[@dianeibarra6839]

That's awesome...looks like an eye...

[@gailachambers5102]

Oxana, another winner! I have a question...what brand needle nose are you using to make your curls with? I need new ones. Love all your tutorials! You are so clever!

[@OxanaCrafts]

In this video I use the Xuron round nose pliers to curl, but they are very fine and I don't necessarily think they are the easiest to make loops with, I also have Beadalon ones that I like that are the standard size.

[@gailachambers5102]

Thank you!

[@deerandcats]

That's really pretty. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@bananaz572171]

I used 24 gauge instead of 26. 😎 Rebel!

[@debbiegoble9836]

Love your work

[@lindaphillips9509]

Thank you so much. You're very sweet.

[@idk-just-elle]

Thank you for this tutorial! Can you tell me what kind of pliers those are you're using? The teal handled ones?

[@OxanaCrafts]

Thank you! They are Xuron needle nose pliers from Amazon, I have a video on all the tools I use if you are interested

[@darrellcanhelp735]

[@debbiegoble9836]

[@BlooStorm1]

What size cab did you use for this tutorial?

[@OxanaCrafts]

I think it was about 12mm or so

[@christymccullough7306]

please help. I cannot get this ring to keep its size after wrapping the band

[@OxanaCrafts]

At what point does the size change for you? Before adding the cabochon the band should already be secure and connected together so it should not be able to change size. If you let me know exactly what is happened, I will try my best to advise.

[@christymccullough7306]

After i wrap the band and place it on the mandrel for shape, i go to finish wrapping the 2 sides together. While I'm wrapping, it loses shape and i can't get the wrap tight enough to keep the size. I going for a size 7 also

[@christymccullough7306]

This will be around 2:11 in the video

[@OxanaCrafts]

I see, what may helps is instead of just wrapping around all the wire at that part like I did, try actually doing a weave so your weaving wire is going in and out around those wires, I think they will hold better that way and will be less prone to sliding around. And after you do that, go ahead and put it on the ring mandrel again to reshape it back to the size 7.

[@christymccullough7306]

I've tried twisting the middle wires together for now before wrapping over them. It seems to hold the shape. I'll try the other method also and let you know. thanks for your help!!

[@TheCathy1217]

i cant find any dead soft wire ,unless rio grande???????

[@OxanaCrafts]

www.riogrande.com is where I get my wire

[@lilcunrty1536]

hello I wanted to send you a pic of a ring that I want to try and make. how can I send u the pic of the ring?

[@OxanaCrafts]

maybe you can try sending it on Facebook or Instagram, I am not sure how to send pictures here on youtube. Keep in mind I can not make a tutorial that copies another artists work.

[@lindaphillips9509]

Maybe I'm just slow. But you didn't show enough of the weave for me to understand.

[@OxanaCrafts]

Was it the very first weave? If so here's a more detailed video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6iwfqdjbbugrKc

[@darleneperone]

[@jamesandkimhoward2534]

Do you patina your jewerly?

[@OxanaCrafts]

Most of the time I do. I have a video on oxidizing copper if you want to see how I do it.
