Wire Wrapping Tutorial: Lines of 'Bezel" settings

[@treesapgrl]

Holy friggin crap, this is *soooo* cool. I'm cursing myself for over-buying all the round wire I did, and for making myself promise to go through (most of) it before buying any square... *can't* *wait*

[@RaftarkJewelry]

i'm sure its doable with round wire as well! I use a lot of half round and square, but thats just my personal preference. try it out with the round and let me know how it goes!

[@treesapgrl]

@@RaftarkJewelry you are *so* *great* - thank you for helping build my confidence!

[@lindsaylou2712]

Love , love, love this setting. Beautifully demonstrated. thanks, from across the pond in the UK💜

[@BenjaminBausch]

This is substantially more attractive than using two pieces of half round over the tops of the stones. This weave exposes so much more of the stone and gives the appearance of a proper bezel.

[@crochet5438]

I love all your videos, and have learned so much. I am new to wire wrapping and wasn’t sure what to do ,thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 😊

[@andyaaruckus1219]

Hello, excellent instructions,thanks for sharing your knowledge! Question, what keeps the loop from becoming loose over time. It seems something may easily catch the far side of it and lift it up, releasing the stone?

[@christinewessels4586]

This is a beautiful setting. I’m new to wire wrapping and have about 9 months under my belt. I really want to attempt to create my own pendant design and I have a beautiful tear drop that I’d like to accent with a few CZ’s along the rounded edge and I thought this might work if I switch to cabs. So thank you for this tutorial. I’ll definitely give it a go!

[@gailgwood]

Your videos are exactly what I needed to move from intermediate level to advanced. Thank you so very much!

[@milliechalk8398]

Again would love to see this in a setting at the end for ideas of how to use👍

[@jenniferhaworth7427]

You have made the process very clear. I look forward to creating a piece with your instructions.

Great video & beautiful pieces. Very clear instructions, and, as someone else said, the closeups were great.

[@RaftarkJewelry]

Thank you! I will (finally) be back in the studio this week and will have another video up on Tuesday :)

[@DonsDesigns1]

Thanks for this great video. It's an absolute amazing technique. It would also be interesting to see how you use this in a completed design. I'll check on your website to see if you have any posted. I can hardly wait for your next video.

[@RaftarkJewelry]

Thank you! I haven't used this technique in a piece for a few years, but now that I have these two elements made from the video I'll be incorporating them into something soon!

Great video, I have a wide assortment of stones, how small (mm) can you realistically wrap around?

Love the tutorial. Can't wait to try it out, fortunately I have plenty square and half round wire. One question: what size cabochons did you use? Please keep the tutorials coming!

[@RaftarkJewelry]

square and half round are my favorites! the peridots I used were 4mm, i believe the turquoise were 2.5

[@lulu43751]

Many thanks, gotta get me some half round, guessing this wouldn't work with round?

[@RaftarkJewelry]

That's a good question! i actually think it would work just fine with round, you may just have to space the stones out a little further. I'm a sucker for half round, I buy more of that than any other shape so a lot of my techniques utilize half round but could totally be substituted with round or maybe even square

I'm in the UK and square wire is kinda hard to get.. I'd love to know if your style of design is possible using round wires or am I better off hammering maybe?
