Absolutely stunning Ring. Half the time I can’t see what you’re doing because you’re not even in the camera frame. I would love to be able to make this ring and I can always see what you’re doing. And when you’re holding the ring at the end can you hold it still for a little bit so we can really get a good look at all the angles you keep turning it and we can’t really see it

Beautiful!!!! So good !! May I ask, cause its surprisingly tough for me to her a Square wire, would a normal 22G wire work too?

It might. Give it a try. It’s hard to stabilize round wire with bindings because they slide.

[@peggylocke1016]

This is gorgeous and I have tried. She makes it look easy. I also have a hard time with square wire. And I love the finished look. I did buy 16 g square brass and I’m having a great time with it. You may try this to get a confidence with it. And you can do a lot. It’s a tough wire but if you mess it up I found you can hammer it and it makes a cool piece of jewelry. Happy Wrapping.

[@consueloyoung4484]

So beautiful, your work is impeccable!. I would like to ask you about the wrapping on your thumb (if you don’t mind), are you experiencing problems with your joint?. I only ask because I did start to have problems because of wrapping. This morning I had surgery, my hand specialist fused the joint. I will not be wrapping for six weeks. Already having withdrawals. Lol, please be careful 😍🙏🏼💗

[@ZurickDesigns]

That’s a bummer! I hope it helps!! I have bone on bone arthritis at my CMC joint. Cortisone shots help a little. I would need reconstructive surgery it sounds to fix it. They take a wrist bone out and cushion the joint with tendon from what I heard. Same as you I wouldn’t be able to use it at all for 6 weeks. Sounds scary!! It really hurts though! 🤔

Great video and tutorial! However, the filming made it difficult to see what you were doing. As a suggestion, maybe have more than one device from a different angle so we can see what you are doing?

[@evelinepeterhans4873]

Is it wise to buy a peridot for wire wrapping if the stone is faceted (facettiert)? I suspect that the stone does not really have a flat side. I hope you can understand my question. My mother tongue is german.

[@ZurickDesigns]

You would need to make the prongs long enough to protect the culet for sure

[@babyboomer-ck3bk]

I liked this style of ring and chose this one to learn - my first wire-wrapped ring. Too bad we couldn't see you doing most of the work. Your camera man wasn't paying attention. Really pretty style but, you need to either zoom out so that we can see you doing the work, or aim the camera lower.
