How to Do a Wire Wrapped Stone Setting by Wyatt White

[@garyboyce6934]

Gary Boyce is my husband...I'm Dixie Rhoades Boyce. I'm learning all the time about wire wrapping. Live in a tiny town in New Mexico, so learning from You Tube is wonderful for me. Your a wonderful teacher! Easy to learn from! Your work is beautiful!!! Thank you for taking the time to show us your talents! Dixie on facebook

[@schwartzsusan1]

So well done, Wyatt. Thank you. I just got done with a 3 week class, with a teacher whom really couldn't teach. I learned more in this one video, than I did in 3 classes. You have an even-toned voice, a cute sense of humor, and a clear way of describing things.

[@sunnyscott4876]

Thanks sooooooo much for having clean fingernails and a decent manicure . So many people make these videos with gross nails and it doesn't matter how good the video is . You just can't watch it all. Your information was great too, btw !

[@wendylee4141]

Very well done. Clear and slow enough that I didn't have to keep going back to re-see or re-hear something. Thanks! Oh - and it also helps to build my confidence when I see that other people do silly things like measure once, cut twice! or expect a heart but can't do it do to the nature of the design. That was worth every second of my time!

[@artgal7]

Wyatt uses superb descriptive dialog in his tutorials. Some instructional videos leave you wondering what the heck they're talking about. I understood every step of this tutorial. Great instructor ..thanks!

[@maryjustice5266]

I love your tutorials Wyatt White...so clear and easy to follow...camera work is awesome, explanations are precise...thank you so much for sharing

[@Deb1650]

It's so great how you talk the student through the lesson. But now I'm wondering if I will have the patience for a project like this! Ha! :-)

[@MadeDiscoMorAtraktiv]

Thanks for the video. I found it really informative and the guest you had spoke with a good speed, and didn't over complicate it as I find most do. Keep 'em coming.

[@traceeseventyone9040]

Wyatt is awesome. You can see him on JTV at times too. The banding pliers he is using in this video, he invented them!!! And many other tools, as well as gallery wire. Wyatt, you're the best. Love watching him on JTV. Would love to take a class with you.

[@beadaholique]

Wyatt's such a fantastic teacher, we're glad to have made this video with him. Thanks for watching!

[@Ninjatoertchen]

Actually english is not my mother tongue but your tutorial is very very nice to understand. I think you´ve done a very helpful and awesome job! Thank you very much!

[@dawnbranson6754]

Thank you for an easy to follow directions. I don't like when people add music to the background.I've watched a couple of your how to videos and they are very informative.

[@DOKTORRABBIT]

thank you very much for this tutorial, I live in Spain and here is not well known this technique, My English is not very high but thanks to the installation of video so good that you have done, only with the images I find very practical,,thanks you so much.

[@jeannagrace7564]

love love love, you taught me more in 20 mins than any book

[@saskiadavies111]

I appreciate the good lighting and the close shots. You do well at keeping your hands from obscuring what you're doing and at explaining why the materials, tools and techniques work together. Great job and lovely work!

[@Lala1000-g3b]

Finally a clear-cut tutorial that I can grasp and attempt. I have done some wire wrapping of sea glass but this technique will help me to figure out how to finish it off nicely without the wire poking. Thanks!

[@wendyjohnson7511]

What a great demo. His instructions were so relaxed and filmed very well. So easy to understand it looked pretty easy to do if patient

[@NolaGB]

You're an excellent instructor, Mr. White! As a rookie, I found this easy to follow and I never once said, "what?" having to rewind and watch once or twice again. Just excellent!! I will be following your videos!

[@beadaholique]

NG B We've done a few other videos with Wyatt that you can see here: www.beadaholique.com/t-ba-Wyatt-White-Videos.aspx He also has a DVD available if you're interested in going more in-depth: www.beadaholique.com/p-33849-beadalon-instructional-dvd-precision-wire-wrapping-with-wyatt-white-and-katie-hacker.aspx?KZbin&

[@Midgy21747]

Thank goodness for clean fingernails. So a pleasure to watch - so unusual with these demo videos.

[@workoutpixie]

This really taught me something very important . How to wrap a stone. Now I want to use wrapping and coiling to embellish the piece I made, I am using an evil eye glass cabochon and I will embellish it to look more like an eye. then I will set that into a larger pendant with other elements. Great tutorial!

[@muffit50]

I have a heart shaped stone that someone wants to wrap . It will be my first time doing a wrap it was just perfect for my project. Thank you it was so amazing watching you do this .

[@chesseesmile]

Best video. It was so easy. I gave up before.. now I'm making things for gifts.. love your video. Thanks for making it so easy to make one.

[@hannahhorner9361]

This was such a good video, very detailed. I incorporated this idea into a pendant for my mom, hopefully she will love it as much as I do.

[@juliamargocuthbert4947]

what a fabulous demo and you have a great voice for instruction. even toned and not at all annoying. thanks for sharing so clearly. margo

[@lisahouston4274]

I love that bending tool.............I can see where it is a must have if you wrap alot of wire.Thanks for sharing your wire techniques with us.

[@errolthecat]

I very much appreciate how clearly the directions are given, as well as the quality of the video. I will be saving this one to attempt at some point (I have a large selection of undrilled stones that need this treatment!

[@rebeccaharmon8508]

Fantastic teacher! I've been watching lots of wire wrapping videos and most of this is not so thoroughly taught but have wondered!! Thanks so much!

[@beadaholique]

Thanks so much!

[@melissadoucette278]

Thanks so much for this very clear easy to follow tutorial. I love Wyatt!! When I had cable I used to watch him on jewel school all the time. In fact I got into jewelry making from him. I turned on jtv and it was Wyatt sharing a demo of the new at that time 3D bracelet jig! Needless to say I was hooked and bought and kept buying and watching jewel school faithfully. I have so much material I could literally open up a store. When you’re 1st starting out you don’t know what to purchase so I just kept buying everything! I know do wire wrapping ( also thanks to dale cougar Armstrong too); beadweaving; gemstone; crystal jewelry and many other techniques. So if like to say a big thank you to Wyatt white for getting me started into making my own jewelry. Much love!!

[@beadaholique]

Wyatt's such a fantastic teacher isn't he? We've learned so much from him over years and we're so lucky we got a chance to make these videos with him, it makes me smile every time someone discovers them again. Thanks for watching Melissa, glad we could share this with you!

[@SilverAngelsWingd]

Wyatt, you are inspirational! That is just sooo beautiful, you are such an artist. Also, lovely to see a man who cares about how his hands look! Double points for that! My late hubs was like that, I so appreciate it...you are a great teacher. More please. Love... Sylvia x

[@momkatz69]

What a glorious creation!!! I have never watched such a gorgeous piece of jewelry being made. Thank you.

[@sharonhermann2785]

What a pleasure to watch your video. You make it look so easy. And I am of course not trying to come on to you but your voice is so soothing that it just all pulls together for a very informative and inspirational video. :)

[@13Odrade]

Thanks Mr White ! At last a nice way to set stones/glass with wire.

[@debican01]

I haven't wrapped a cabochon before but wow, this is really pretty. Great camera work for the close up. TFS

[@TheGrandma12]

WOW, I really like this technique and the wire you use makes such a hugh difference in the look of the pendant. Thanks for showing this. I will be doing this very soon.

[@beadaholique]

You can which tools Wyatt used in this video on the project page for Project N5000 at our website. You can just type N5000 into the search bar at the top. Generally, you would want to have chain nose pliers and round nose pliers for any project, plus a good pair of flush cutters. In this particular project, Wyatt also used the wire banding pliers.

[@tyedye571]

It's so nice to see something made with fancy wire. so much is made with just round wire. It's nice to get an idea of how things look using different textures. Thank you, Wyatt. You have wonderful techniques.

[@deannastrobel9046]

Instead of 'eyeballing' or 'rolling the stone' on the measuring tape, I like to use a piece of string, wrap the string around the stone or cabochon then measure the string. The rest of the video was informative and moved at a steady pace. Thanks for the video!

[@LadyDragoncat]

Fantastically done, Mr. White! I shall be sure to go through more of your videos for wiring tips.

[@lizmiller7681]

I recall watching this video 4-5 years ago, thinking, wow, I will never, ever, be able to handle wire like he does, and I was just about right. Although I am more adept by far now than I was then, I still think I will never accomplish his mastery of the wire, his ability to direct the wire to go where he says go and have it go there, beautifully. That would be my ultimate goal! 🏆🏅

[@beadaholique]

Practice makes perfect! If you keep working at it, we're sure you can reach this goal. Thanks for watching our video!

[@lindaschirmacher1737]

Fantastic demo. You're camera person did an excellent job of documenting your every move. Together you two rank at the very top. Couldn't say that if you two compliment each other. Love, love love your tutorials. You rock!! I'll be watching every one you've done! ,

Hello! greetings from Singapore! I recently purchase some stones that I love, unfortunately they dun have it in pendant form. Your teaching really encouraged me! I think I could try this out and make my lovely stone into a pendant so that I can wear it. Thank you so much for sharing =)

[@patriciahaupt9355]

This is a great video. Thank you. You explain it well and show it so it is easily understood and can see exactly what to do. I think I can actually try to do it!

[@beadaholique]

Yes, there is! That tool is called a wire rounder and we carry them on our site. You can check out the video "How to Use a Wire Rounder Tool" to see how it works.

Wyatt's a wonderful instructor isn't he?

What a beautiful pendant that will be.

[@mzj88]

I really enjoyed watching this and will give it a try. Always looking for various things and techniques to add to my jewelry designs. Thank you.

[@beadaholique]

Generally, the product description will tell you what the base metal is on a silver plated item (copper, brass, etc). However, I do not know enough about the plating process to know whether or not there may be other metals involved. My suggestion, if the product description doesn't say, is to check with the manufacturer.

[@praying4udoing4u]

I had a dream last night about the numbers 10934 so I wrote it into the KZbin search box and found your instructions. I know I am an artist...I just need more inspiration like you give and I need to learn how to market my artwork. Any suggestions for marketing my artwork? Thank you for your clear voice and your clear instructions and the way the cameraperson followed your every detail. You are a blessing.

[@julied2770]

I did a wire wrap before I saw this great video. I just tried to figure it out. And it did take me a long time to get it just right. Maybe I cheated but when I made the bale/bail ?sp? I stuck a pencil in there for a spacer and both sides came out perfectly even. Ill be watching more of Wyatt's tutorials soon. Thx!

I have, learned a lot lot from this wrap and Thank you for a beautiful piece of just Jewelry and keep up the good work and teaching

[@beadaholique]

The biggest consideration for that would be the cost of the wire. You will want to practice on less expensive wire to make sure that you are comfortable with what you're doing and that you like the setting. If you are ready to move on to precious metal wire, like gold filled, just make sure that you buy the correct hardness.

This particular technique is for making pendants for necklaces, and wouldn't necessarily work for making a bracelet. This video was done by a special guest designer. If we have to opportunity to have him back again, we can forward along your request, but we can't guarantee it will get produced.

[@magicunicorn4070]

I like that fancy wire!

[@labradoritesandgems387]

If you do not have fancy wire , you can take square wire and twist it in a pin vise or an electric drill, just be careful not to twist it too tight as it will work harden and break. It gives the wire a nice bit of sparkle!

[@estethompson2057]

Beautiful wrapped cabochon and a great tutorial. I do find myself wishing with many of the video that everything is kept in focus with out work moving up out of view. Also for me, it would be helpful if you stopped briefly to show just where you are placing wire. You did do that several times but because I am a beginner there are times when I am not sure of what to do. I will get better in time. I do thank you for creating a superior piece.s
