Wire Wrapping Tutorial- How To Wrap a Rectangle/Square Stone

In this video I wrap a rectangle shaped cabochon in a cage style wrap using square and half round wire. This design would also work with square stones as well!
I think of this style as an "old school" style and when I first learned to wire wrap I used square and half round wire for most of my wraps.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and incorporate the techniques into your designs!

Thanks for watching! I’ve been using this simple cage style design for years on many shapes and sizes of stones. I’ve just changed up the bail. I kept it very simple this time! Hope you enjoy! Have a great week! 💜

[@ddespinosse]

Thank you! It's was a great tutorial.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Glad it was helpful! 💜☺️

[@CaryjHedrick]

Thanks for this beautiful design- and for explaining it so well!

[@ZurickDesigns]

You’re welcome 😊💜

[@arachinsect]

You really cover ever detail, the camera is right on, the design is classy, it fits the stone perfectly and doesn't detract from the beauty of the stone. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!!!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you very much! 💜☺️

[@savagetwin52]

Beautiful finished work. I have difficulty working with square wire as far as bending a group of them . But I see your technique especially with weaving the half wire which I end up getting confused on which side is flat. I'm a hot mess. But determined to learn and do better. I really appreciate you style of teaching.❤❤❤

[@ZurickDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!💜☺️

[@tracydriscoll4998]

Thanks, Melissa, for this easy to follow tutorial for a great classic design! It's chocked full of great tips, especially on how to ensure your wires are perfectly aligned by using painters tape!🥀

I like it it's different, I have a similar stone and couldn't figure out how to wrap it. Thanks for the tips.

[@ZurickDesigns]

You are so welcome! 💜☺️

[@Melissa-eh5xl]

Beautiful !! ❤Love the straight lines style. Thank you for sharing will try this one.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Awesome! ☺️💜

[@sarajanehaven]

Thanks for this design and and for not editing out the struggles to make this piece. It's reassuring for us novices to know that even the most experienced have 'redos' along the way and its a good lesson in patience.

[@ZurickDesigns]

I hoped people would appreciate the struggles! Thank you! 💜☺️

[@lucybukoske134]

Iam always wasting wire. I love your work, i just started doing resins i like wire work an press flowers it take patience

[@terencemhiggins9436]

Beautifully done.

Thanks!

Lovely design..

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks a lot! 💜☺️

[@sandywall5266]

It's a clean and simple wrap especially for those who like the minimal look. I Know Myself and I think I speak for a quite a few others that we really appreciate the time and effort you put into your tutorials. I love your helpful suggestions. It's really not easy to wrap squares or rectangular shapes. I just muddled through a really difficult top to back drilled rectangular tiger's eye. And at the end of my frustrations. I had to throw two framed work designs because I couldn't quite cage it properly😢

[@ZurickDesigns]

Oh boy! I hate when that happens! I have to put things down for a little bit and come back to it if things get too frustrating!

[@starwoan5970]

Many Thxs Melissa for the tutorial, material list, resources and much, much more!😊👍🏽 I am curious about what qualities of the stone you are attracted to and in general what are the metaphysical qualities/characteristics of the stone?🌹. 😎

[@ZurickDesigns]

Hi! Thanks for commenting! I’m attracted to stones that have a brilliant flash such as labradorite, rainbow moonstone and the stone in this video is pietersite. Every stone is unique. Pietersite, I feel, is calming. It’s supposed to be a protective stone. 💜

[@starwoan5970]

@@ZurickDesigns Many Thxs for your reply! 👍🏼😊

[@angelakendall9105]

Love your videos.. I have Hexagon gemstone sapphire that i need to figure out how to wrap. do you have any videos on that?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks! What about some prongs?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKrZmdnbdGLa6M

[@kimlyons8550]

Michelle, looks great, nice and clean. Might I ask, I have been doing basic cages with copper and need to use SS. is there much difference? TIA

[@ZurickDesigns]

Besides the price difference, dead soft sterling is a little more springy than copper. It takes a little getting used to!

[@trishf5]

Hiii love these vids! Quick q- is it possible to do this using round wire?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Round wire is hard to use with half round wire. They shift around too much. Better to use a weaving pattern with round wire if that makes sense.
