I have a tech?? ... I have a very special stone. it is a piece of gorgeous charoite and I'm scared making a wire wrap ring> I mostly do pendants and earrings. I'm wondering if these are more Delicate/ if there is a danger of the stone falling out etc when making this??>> I have been making jewelry for over 20 yrs. I have worked with beads, bones, stones, Crystals..I also make tons of random crafts etc miniature diorama scenes..paint. sculpt etc ..I heard you say its tricky with polished stone. the charoite I have is Polished . semi square and about 3/4 inch on one side..almost an inch on the other..(semi square) and about 3mm thick...would you say a ring is or isnt a good choice for this stone?? (I realize it is kind of an odd ? but figured you probably have More experience making rings with stones than I do. (I've done straight wire rings and beaded rings..but never wire wrapped a slippery stone.. THANK YOU for sharing your talent and a well made video...Any feedback would be very appreciated.

[@AJones-mb7zg]

Just remember....every time you wrap the wire around the wring loops of the ring, you are MAKING IT SMALLER IN SIZE! The wire wrapped around takes up room, reduces the size of the ring. It will be tighter.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

YES. That is a very good point. Thanks so much for mentioning it! 😀

You need to remember that person doing your commission probably had a dozen orders AHEAD of you, and possibly a family and job to deal with too. Custom commissions are not for people in a rush. May I suggest Amazon prime?

Would it look weird/bad if the copper wire were to be melted onto the stone and then sanded to make it smoother and for sure lock the stone into place? Just curious and looking for suggestions. Thanks! Wonderful video!

Thank you. I used Artistic silver colored non-tarnish copper wire. I know the Artistic brand also makes a brass wire...that would work too, but might tarnish.

Good question. I've never used glue with crystals. I guess you could put a few drops in places that aren't visible. Apparently glue is not harmful for crystals' healing properties. Hope this helps.

[@adoreameliaa]

i was wondering what the best “mm” would be to make these rings? 0.4mm/0.8mm/1mm? I don’t want the wire too be too easily broken! Xxx

[@HeatherBoydWire]

1mm would be the best as you want a thicker wire to hold the stone well.

What type of wire do you use?? Is it dead soft, or just regular wire?

I usually use Beadalon Artistic Copper tarnish resistant wire
