Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual, Classic


Materials

20g Copper Wire

What was your inspiration?

I have seen rings like this on other sites and I liked the way they look. I really love the look of copper and thought it would work well in this design.

What are you most proud of?

I like the tight spiral, which keeps the profile of the ring low.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Start with inexpensive copper wire in a smaller gauge to practice. Keep the ring on the mandrel while wrapping the rosette to keep the shape of the ring.
I hold the mandrel between my knees as I wrap. You could also put the mandrel in a vise to hold it in place.

I have been thinking about incorporating some beads into the rosette. I just have to find some that have a large enough hole to fit on my wire without being a big bead.
