Wire Wrapped Prong Ring Tutorial for Faceted Gemstones- Step by Step

In this video I am honored to go over Patricia Capotosto's Classic Faceted Prong Ring Tutorial featured in the July/August, 2004 issue of Wire Artist Jeweller.
I've been making this ring for over 15 years now and it's always been my "go to" ring design for my larger gemstones.
I made a testimonial to this tutorial a while back...
• Wire Wrapped Ring-Face...
Patricia gave me permission to make a video version of this tutorial back then but I kept it as a testimonial as long as she had her tutorial available.
I had the link to her website along with her email in the description of that video so people could grab the written version.
It was brought to my attention that her link is no longer working and she is not answering her emails.
Patricia worked very hard to make these instructions, measurements and steps and took great pride in this tutorial and for good reason. It works!
If followed precisely it is pretty much failure free.
Enjoy!

Oh wow, your gorgeous…I have an ametrine that I’m building up my courage to try this design.

[@sandmaker]

Patricia had a good design, the your reimagined ring was wonderful. Thanks to both of you for sharing.

[@angelaferrell4725]

wow. i can hardly wait to be mature enough in my journey to do it justice.

[@ZurickDesigns]

You can do it!

[@kristibbradshaw]

I cannot thank you enough for doing this for us. It was not easy to figure out, for me at least. It certainly is a beautiful ring.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Glad I could help! ☺️

[@trudyhindle3147]

Wow that turned out great I can’t wait to try this out

[@ZurickDesigns]

Hope you enjoy!

[@anniecat3062]

I just found your channel and I have to say you make it look so easy and it was for me. Lol, not normally at all. You have such a gentle speaking voice which I think really helped me to not get anxious and worried I was really going to mess it up. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ZurickDesigns]

So glad I could help! ☺️💜

[@cdc3415]

Gorgeous!

[@jillboehm-reyna834]

Please please please do a tutorial on a larger, deeper stone ring…that blue topaz(?) would be great. Not one single video showing how to make a ring using a large, really large stone.

[@ZurickDesigns]

I will!

[@elbez007]

Beautiful tutorial, thank you so much . I've tried to contact her many months ago without success. What a great artist❤

[@ZurickDesigns]

I agree!

[@lesliesmith9169]

Thank you for this lesson. I watched your earlier video and researched the artist. I found her old web page, but it wasn't functioning anymore. I couldn't buy the tutorial. So happy you are keeping it going

[@ZurickDesigns]

Yea, Her website isn’t working and she’s not answering her emails ☹️

[@msharno1]

Though this is described as an advanced project, you make it so simple to follow. I have lots of oblong rivolis and will try it with one of them

[@user-dn9vd9xg9p]

You are such a good teacher. Very detailed and so patient.. Love your videos!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks! 💜☺️

[@ssc4153]

WOW! That piece is GORGEOUS! I'm going to have to try this one for sure! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@ZurickDesigns]

You are so welcome!

[@KohlKraft]

I love this tutorial. I have her pdf version of this one and other projects. Haven’t been able to get a hold of her in several months too. Hope all is well.

[@ZurickDesigns]

I know! 🫤

[@falgunibhavsar3529]

I made this ring today and I am in love. I used a 18x13 Swarovski rectangular crystal and its gorgeous. I did a dry run with artistic wire and I plan to redo this with Sterling silver. Once I get the technique down I probably do it one more time just to make sure I understand all the ins and outs before I do it again in silver.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Wow! That’s a big stone! Sounds awesome! I want do do my deep blue topaz soon 🤗

[@roylwilliams3546]

Thanks for sharing and teaching your Amazing ❤❤

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks! ☺️
