Thank you for a great tutorial! I made your ring as my first wire woven project and had fun with it. My 15 y/o daughter walked in the room before I had it shaped into a ring, picked it up and said it would make a great ring, she liked it and wanted it. Big compliment from my teen =)
New sub here....I'm new to wire wrapping, and haven't attempted this yet, but I love your channel...not only are your creations beautiful, but you are a patient, careful teacher, whose thorough explanations I greatly appreciate. Thank you ❤
Lovely ring. The video was focused so we could see exactly what you were doing. I've been making beaded earrings for years but am always open to try something new. Your videos will definitely help me do that! Thank you.
good greif my mind is blown it is basically a diy ring, that you could acctually wear in public (rare, i know. who else gets that? ) this is like my first video of yours i have watched and i am definitely subscribing.
I actually just made this and it was quite easy! I only had trouble keeping the space between even all the way through but I like how it turned out! I wish I could upload a pic to show you lol I'm so proud I don't want to take it off! I'm also gonna tweak it and attach beads to the center! Thank you so much for this easy tutorial! 😍
Very nice tutorial, thank you for sharing! I do have one suggestion that may help others: Since I found it extremely hard to work from "right to left," I simply turned the entire piece around (upside down, if you will, but with the same side facing up). This was so much easier to maneuver the wire, as I personally find that working left to right to be much easier for me. I also made one of these into a toe-ring with much smaller swirls and it came out very cute! Thanks again for yet another great tutorial!!
Thank you, Jocelyn. It's a beautiful weave. I love your attention to detail, and how you spare your precious wire from waste. I've made a couple of these with copper, but, still lacking in courage to break out my ss wire. I've got to get over that!! Thanks, again, for another great tutorial. It's a sleepless night for me, and I was glad to see your upload.
Thanks for the tips and encouragement. I'm still a bit unsure about when I should use dead soft, vs half hard. Thinking just getting in there and working with it will afford me a better feel on that decision. I have some of the lower gauges in ds, but my higher gauges are all half hard. Will have to expand upon that. I've never worked with the silver filled, but have read it's a great alternative, especially considering the price point. I appreciate all the knowledge you share. Have a great day!!
Victoria Smith If you want to save the inner wire, just leave it on the spool. It doesn't really hamper you making the weaves. Just pull a bit out, maybe 6 inches or so, to get started with, then unroll and straighten as you need!
Oh. My You helped me immensely!!😊 Your tutorial explained every detail. I Absolutely love your swirl ring💞 hoping mine will turn out as beautiful as yours did. Thank you so much for sharing .Blessings..
Excellent Ma'am 👏👏👏 I love it. Can't wait to collect my jewelry materials and tools to start amazing projects. I thank you so much for teaching ❤ Komal Bhardwaj.
I'm very super cold tutorial for that ring. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it doesn't seem too hard and I think that I would be able to actually do it. Thank you so much for taking your time and your talent and I getting on TH-cam it showing as this that I'm very anxious to use get one started. I will let you know how they turn out have a great day
Tizzy Bennett lol I was using my husbands for so long because i didnt have a mandrel and when i finally got one, i ended up using it once and have kept using the sockets since im so used to them and already have the perfect sized ones for my needs.lol i really love them and i love that i dont feel bad if i end up scratching them up or somehow get dents in one since they can be found for pretty cheap to replace if needed.lol i find myself a hoarder with my more expensive tools and materials and sometimes i end up taking twice as long to make something using them trying not to mess em up.lol
You made this look so beautiful and easy I have been struggling and can't seem to get the hang of it I will keep trying but it is so frustrating 😣 also you speak so well and give good direction thank you
That is beautiful! I'm a beginner plus my fingers hurt a lot, but i'm not giving up. Hope to make this someday soon, I could see the curved ends flattened a little for more bling
Thank you so much for this very detailed tutorial! I am a beginner and I feel very confident in giving this design a try after watching your tutorial. Very well done! Thanks so much for sharing your time and talent with us, your a lovely inspiration! Hugs
I just want to share an idea of mine which helps keep the mandrel still. I tried to make a divot in the side of my workbench, to locate the thin end of the mandrel, and then wedge it with my body, but the wood was too hard. Then I had some inspiration, and stuck together two washers, with super glue, then glued it to the edge of the workbench. I can now place the thin end of the mandrel into the centre hole made by the two washers, and wedge the other end of the mandrel into my belly, and lean into the workbench, thereby allowing me to work with both hands and not have the mandrel moving about. Please share this idea.
I really enjoyed ur finished product. I lobe the facy thay it is home made, with an original flair. I think I will put this on my next try it list. Thsnks for yhe greay tutorial. Robin Parris, Federal Way, WA
Thank you so much for showing us how to make all this beautiful jewelry! It looks so complicated and after you show how to do it it seems so easy! You are a great instructor! :) I love wired jewelry but it's even more beautiful with beads and stones. Would you mind showing us in tutorial how you did the tree with a moon?
***** There are a number of Tree of Life tutorials available on you tube, however, your instructions are much easier to follow in your videos than some I have seen. I can learn this from someone else's tutorial, but would greatly prefer to see one from you.
Hi I love your tutorials... at the end of this video there was a ring with a blue Cristal in the center, I was wondering if you have a tutorial for that ring?
another beautiful tutorial .. i love your stuff. you know what would be neat with this? make the same exact thing but in a bracelet... also would be gorgeous! Can't wait to see more of your videos and hope all is well :)
Jocelyn do you happen to have any tutorials on how to shape a cat or cat form for jewelry with wire? I have tried and tried, even with drawing on paper to shape a decent cat form and I am having a really hard time doing it. Halloween is just around the corner and it would be an adorable piece of wire jewelry for occasions like this coming up.
At the ends of the ring - at the swirl, could you do the wire wrapping around and in between the swirls if you wanted to make the ring more stationary? In other words basically force a connection between the two halves of the ring? My Mom is an older adult, 83, and wears a size 4.5 on her ring finger to ensure it doesn't misshape when she takes the ring off and on. Also, my question is what happens to the wrapping if you try to harden the ring swirls by using a chasing hammer at the ends to flatten the swirls? Will this damage your wraps? Well done tutorial, thank you for your outstanding video and your patients to help you students worldwide! Greetings from Indianapolis, Indiana! Cheers😀
As always I love your videos, ur a fantastic teacher. I'sve learned much from your videos. I wanted to try this ring also, but I'm afraid is a bit above my experience level. I wonder if I could just do a total wrap instead of separating and doing the weave? Would that still be doable?
That ring is adorable!!!!! But one quick question on the wire ring making. I have made about 5 to 6 rings. Some with beading some without. And my thinner wire pieces that aren't having the small loop tend to come loose. Or something like that. And after a bit one of the wire end work up. And it then has a sharp point that can cut or hurt the wearier. Or snag clothing and possibly ruin the item. How can I fix that so I'm not getting a sharp point possibly hurting my family and friends or myself. Thank you
Beautiful ring .. excellent tutorial. Are you using sterling or silver filled wire in the video? I am new and have been practicing with bare copper (18g) or Artistic craft wire (18-20g) for the base wires and Artistic craft wire (24-26g for wrapping) - and can never get the base wire so straight! Am I fighting a losing battle with this type of wire? Thanks
Great video except the measurement for the 20 gauge. Since I wanted a size 8, I cut 3", which, when finished, I couldn't even get it to fit a size 4! And before you ask, my swirls are the perfect size. So what did I do wrong?
***** No, i cut the amount of wire you suggested, and when I was finished, it only fit my pinky finger. My ring finger is around a six, so the pinky is much smaller. I'm still very confused.
How to prevent the tools from marring the wire? I seem to butcher the wire whenever I try to pull the wire with my tools or say slide coils closer together... Thx!
***** Thank you very much Jocelyn... that makes a lot of sense actually and I'll give it a try! I think investment in some better tools is in order as well (and probably more expensive wire will help too!). Thx again Jocelyn.... I've subscribed!
pesto12601 One of the tricks I use is painter's tape. Wrap your pliers with a piece of it, nice and tight. You still get grip and won't mark even the softest wire. It also comes off fairly easy with no residue. I also use painters tape when weaving strands of wire, instead of masking tape. Much less cleaning to do at the end.
Gemma Chater She didn't show measuring the wire for the ring in this video. You could try wrapping a piece of wire around your ring mandrel before you start and work out the size that way or try the same thing with the finger you want the ring to be on when it's complete.

Mahogany Boyd isn’t this ring too soft? Do you find it losing its form??

Sockets work well for sizing rings! They're perfect because there are lots of different sizes. :)
That is an awesome point! Ive been sitting here wondering what I could use that I have already for a mandrel! Thank you Brittany!

Thank u very much ...it Was great to see how you work..bless you.
Have you tried inserting a small bead on the ladder rung wire at the beginning and end or piece? The weaving effect is very pretty.
Hi Mo here I made this ring not as good as yours but it went off with my daughter!! Lol will have to make another one or two!
Paul Howard
That is really Pretty thank you so much for sharing
I was able to follow along with you and make me own.
Thank you so much for making this video!
Beautiful. Thank-you.
amazing tutorial 👍👍👍✌

Nice, I am so going to try this.
Hola me llamo manuela ablas español me encantan todo lo que enseñas quisiera saber si puedo preguntarte sobre loa materiales que utilizas
How do you measure how much material you need to any size ring?
wow amazing! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Nice.
But what if I want a bangle. How do I bend it into a circle?
Super 💞
Bellissimo 😍 che tipo di filo è di che materiale?
Where can I get the same type chain nose pliers? I see they are very convenient when working in tiny spaces. Thanks
so basically the wrapping part is wrap and coil it wrap and coil it, and repeat? I am confused on that part otherwise I'd love to try this out
so,nice i have made this ring♥
Wonderful tutorial and beautiful ring. One question. Are you using sterling silver 925 or silver plated?
Love it!!!
so lovely
Great video except the measurement for the 20 gauge. Since I wanted a size 8, I cut 3", which, when finished, I couldn't even get it to fit a size 4! And before you ask, my swirls are the perfect size. So what did I do wrong?

No, i cut the amount of wire you suggested, and when I was finished, it only fit my pinky finger. My ring finger is around a six, so the pinky is much smaller. I'm still very confused.
i am having difficulty making the spirals when i make the swirl it comes out like a coil do you have any suggestions
Where can u get the thing that u size the ring with? Sorry forgot what u call it.
tnx. I maked it, but my wire is tinner. I will buy a number 9 ring. by from Croatia
Por favor puedes hablar un poco en Español la cigo. Me gusta mucho pero no me entero de nada o lo escribes lo mas importante gracias 4:17
Awesome!! Thank you!! :D
Pretty good
lindisimo gracias

Do you sell your creations?
i made two rings for my daughter and sister they thought they were great. just one thing my daughters keep catching.
thank you
It is a full of patient jewelry
its not the same wrap u did in the tn or still
Is this round wire or square wire?

tahira durrani
You don't mention what kind of wire to use,... silver, copper, aluminum or galvanized?, and where to find it... RGG
I believe in this one I used silver filled wire from RioGrande.com :)
Grazie!!!
I made this without the pliers and used my fingers and now I have allot of scraped skin and cuts, wish somebody could buy me pliers laul
❤❤❤
Nice but 2 complicated 5 me.
I feel like I'm upgrading from Rainbow Loom 😂
Great
😂😂😘😘
VERY CUTE I
Beautiful as you

I used 3.5 inches of 18 gauge and my ring size turned out to be 6 inches
Wouldn't it have been easier to start at the other end. It seems like your right handed.
