    This is the best video on wire wrapping I have ever seen--by far! With his precise instructions, for the first time I think "I can do this!" Previously all my futile attempts ended in disasters. I will definitely be visiting his You Tube channel. You are the BEST!!!!!❤🎉

      Yes I did. I made that for my father many years ago and hen he passed I got it back. It's a fairly common ring. The design is called a Pharaoh's Ring or Common Ring. The internet is full of tutorials for this design. Thanks for watching

    can you solder the ends ?

    • @JewelSchool
      @JewelSchool  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! This is a dead soft, non-tarnish, plated wire, so unfortunately you will not be able to solder this particular type of wire. Hope this helps!

    Why do people who are doing videos not add written instructions?
