This ring makes a bold statement. Smooth swirls of wire frame the stones, holding them firmly in place. These swirls are echoed in the center of the ring and accented with two spirals either side. The geometric woven shank adds textural contrast, whilst making it very strong.
This lesson covers many techniques, including:
• Forming a robust ring shank, that is easy to size accurately.
• Forming a Geometric Weave
• Securely setting briolettes
The detail measures 1" tall (from the top of each stone) and 3/4" wide. The ring in the tutorial is UK size M and US size 6. The wire measurements given are suitable for a ring up to UK size O US size 7.
This tutorial includes the measurements needed to calculate the required wire lengths for larger ring sizes.
This tutorial is packed with tips, trouble shooting tricks and even has notes on variations at the end. With over 65 close up colour photos, there is no room left for guesswork, as I walk you through the techniques required to make this beautiful piece of jewellery.

Note to EU customers - The European Union implemented new rules on value-added tax (VAT) for digital items earlier this year. The rules, which took effect on January 1, 2015, state that VAT on digital items delivered via automatic download will be taxed based on the country where the buyer is located, not where the seller is located. The rules apply to any shop selling digital items that can be automatically downloaded at the time of purchase to buyers in the EU, no matter where the shop is located. To be clear, EU buyers – not Etsy or Etsy sellers – will be paying VAT as part of their total purchase price.
