Thank you.

[@jamiecee4960]

I Love this ring. Does this mean I'll have to make the Star and the Sun too??☺️ They are so cute. ❤️ I need one of those ring cones. I have two Mandrels. But they are not smooth all around. I love funky Jewelry. ☺️

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you!

[@evelinespinoza892]

How long does the wire have to be because that what I have been trying to find but non of the video show have big the wire have to be

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Evelin: Depending on the size of the bead and ring you can use about 12-15 inches of 20 gauge wire.

[@dhurgapriya8668]

I love your videos, they help me so much to learn and try new patterns……I’m from india and most of the tools you use is not here especially the Pliers - Xuron Round Nose 488 please suggest an alternative…..love you bye♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Dhurga: Thank you so much for your beautiful comments.You can always search for other round nose pliers on Amazon. I did a quick look and found these ones that look good. You always want to check the ends to see that are smooth and even. These ones are 4 1/2 inches long like the Xuron pliers. www.amazon.in/Shipwreck-Beads-Stainless-Jewelry-Pliers/dp/B005TG2K2G/ref=sr_1_35?dchild=1&keywords=round+nose+pliers+jewelry+making&qid=1628694901&sr=8-35 I will also ask in the Community section to see if anyone has any ideas. Good luck. Heather

[@prisma29]

This is a good tutorial! I have a question: when you say not to use aluminium wire for a ring, is it because it is touching our skin? Or is it because it is a much fragile material?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you. Some aluminum wire is very cheap and can irritate sensitive skin and darken when wet. Some is also soft and fragile. It really depends on the quality of the wire. If you are selling rings I would advice the Artistic copper non-tarnish wire or sterling or argentium silver.

[@prisma29]

@@HeatherBoydWire thank you for your advice, I will take note. I am considering selling in the future, so this advice is useful.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Yes, this one and the moon ring are tricky!

[@sirodz8209]

Measure of the wire?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Depending on the size of the ring and the sun you can use about 12 inches of 20g wire.

[@amberhunter8749]

How are you not scratching your wire?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Amber. It takes a lot of practice and it's very important to have good quality tools. I tend to hold the wire with the pliers and "push" with my fingers to bend and avoid scratching. Good luck.

[@amberhunter8749]

@@HeatherBoydWire thank you so much! I really do love your tutorials

[@vageshwaritendolkar1943]

Wow

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you!

[@annikurr]

good tutorial but please be more clear on how much wire is needed

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Annika: The amount of wire depends on the size or your beads, how big you make the rays and the size of your ring band. 12-15 inches should be good.

[@sighhnayy123]

I tried but I really can’t focus on the ring you’re showing & follow you, I would say to show closer to the camera and go slower it’s too shaky.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hello Sighh. Thank you for watching. You can watch the video in slower speed if you go the the video settings (the wheel at the bottom right of the video). You can also pause the video and zoom up if you have a touch screen. Good luck Heather
