You are so gifted. The best wire wrapper I've seen in TH-cam
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much! You're videos are by far the easiest for ME to follow!
Simple but lovely/elegant! Allowing the flash to show on either side.thank you for sharing yet another of your pieces...
I love the simplicity of this design! TFS!
I am new to wire wrapping, and polish my own cabochons--your tutorials are so easy to understand and follow. I'm so glad I found you! I do have a question, and will visit your website to ask it. Thanks...
One of the best tutorials that I have watched
Lovely spiral setting - Labradorite is gorgeous with copper! BRAVA!
Oh, I really like this one! Your videos are so concise and well filmed. Thanks.
This is the one that got my attention someone shared on wire wrapping Facebook group. So as my first lesson, I'll see if I can recreate this. Love the tutorial so easy to understand.
Lovely simple design, and great instruction. Thank you, Oxana.
You are really amazing working with wire... everything you do is beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing such great explanation. I have seen this style multiple times and couldn't figure out how to do it.
Hi Oxana! Thanks to you and your video tutorials, I can now wire wrap all my cabochons I ordered!!! haha. Seriously tho, you are truly talented at this art and as a teacher. Your tutorials are very easy to understand and very creative at the same time. Thx!!!!
You have such a beautiful gift with wire. Thank you for sharing it with us! I learn so much from you!! Hugs and happy holidays
Great frame for showcasing a pretty stone!
I really love this tutorial, I was able to use it to wrap some tumbled stones I had. Thank you!
Damn! You are REALLY good at this. I’m just getting started with this stuff, and you are a great inspiration.
great tutorial! I have been really struggling with cabs, my first one was completely scrapped but this should turn things around!
Thank you for sharing this design. I really like the look.
I love this design, simple and beautiful
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU MADE A BEAUTIFUL WIRE WRAPPING, KIND OF ART NUVEAU, SO ELEGANT, SOFT AND GORGEOUS. THANS, YOU'RE A GENIOUS.. GREATINGS FROM MEXICO CITY.
Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
So easy to follow your directions. Thank you.
Will do for my son's 20th with the tiger eye he bought when he was 7. Thank you!
Nice. I like the thicker wire look. Thanks.
that's exacly want I need for my cabochons! ty my dear!
A perfect demonstration of "less is more".
Thank you for a great project tutorial.
Thank you very much! Please make the tutorial with more decorative wires as well. I am looking forwardcto it. You are so great!
This is really lovely and is very dramatic looking despite the simplicity. I just realised that I have been watching your videos thinking I was subscribed and just noticed that I wasn't. ..I am now..sorry for the oversight. ..I really enjoy your videos xx
Thank you so much! :)

皆さんの発想力にいつも感心してます
It’s so beautiful! 🌸💕🌸thank you very much!🌸💕🌸
You are very welcome!
What a great video. You are so good! Your channel is the best in it's class. I love learning from you. Now I know. There is such a thing as 16 gauge. And, I can use it! 💋💋❤️❤️
lovely example of less is more very elegant
Thanks for sharing the how to video ✌💚
Basic, but stunning! X
This is great. You are using dead soft wire, do you harden it somehow before using the pendant?
LOVE your tutorials. They are super easy to follow along. I typically get half way thru and then do my own thing. Great inspiration!!! Do you ever use rectangular shaped pieces instead of oval or teardrop shaped? I would love to see some hints on wrapping the rectangular shapes...
rectangles can be tough because of those pointy angles, but they work for tree of life pendants
Hi Oxana! My cabochon is a turquoise and much smaller. If I use a smaller gauge would it still work and hold the stone in?
This style would make a nice ring
Wondefull love it.thank you.
Hi Oxana, great video! That's called a Lark's Head knot with the cord :)
Thanks! Good to know :)
Can i use thinner wire? I have gold plated wire and would love to use it to "frame" some precious stones to make pendants.
Thank you!
May I suggest using painter's tape to outline the area that is visible in your camera so that it's easier to keep your work in frame? That way we can see the entire process instead of missing things that disappear out of frame. Thanks!
Lovely thank you.
Do you happen to know of any jewellery patterns I can use for a double bracelet cuff, which I bought from Lacewings Designs a couple of months ago for Bobbin Lace? I have made 5 in Bobbin Lace and would now like to try it in handmade jewellery - doesn't have to be wrapping style - but can't find any patterns or videos at all for this type of bangle.
Do yu eveer do anything to the copper piece to prevent tarnishing?
Thank you fixen to make my niece a pendant
great！ thank-you 😃
where do you get your cabochons from
It would be nice to see all the procedures to include filing down and hammering down the wire.
cool like ever 😉🤙🏻🇲🇽
You make it look so easy. I've attempted 3x's now and got pissed off and ripped the stone out!
I'm gonna take a beat, cool off and attempt number 4.
If this craps out on me how much to mail the stone and pay to have it done?
thank you for sharing your talents with us so we can make beautiful things too. where do you get your supplies at
I have a video on wire and tools, and for stones I get those online(like etsy and ebay, and facebook groups)
OxanaCrafts would you consider doing a video of a build onto this setting as you mentioned?
Very organic 😉
Nice
Can anyone tell me what type pliers is being used in these videos? What gauge for the larger wire and the sewing wire? Thánk You!
Love ll your work but love simplicity of this one with option to ass embellishments. Thank you,
Oops add embellishments !,, :)
Beautiful! Could you tell me what brand of tools you use ?
They are all different, but I have a video on my channel that is all about my tools that will help.
Muito lindo
Thnk' s 😍🙏
Great tutorials! I'm thinking of trying wire wrapping, but was wondering if the copper wires have a metal smell to it?
some people think they do, so I guess it depends on your sensitive to scent. I don't really smell anything, especially after I get them all oxidized and polished up.
That's good to hear! Maybe the oxidization helps :) keep up the great videos! Did you have one for purely talking about wires?
yes, one of my most recent ones is all about wire
Awesome, I'll look for it. Thank you!
Is 18 gauge wire strong enough to use for this pendant? Not sure if I have any 16 gauge.
18 should probably work, especially for small pendant
Great tutorial Oxana... I'm just starting out and it's helping a lot. I didn't know there where so many gauges. I struggle to get my weaving wire to stay put when I cut it . Any idea where I'm going wrong?. Thank you so much
like it unravels when you cut it? Is it dead soft? Usually the weaving wire doesn't move once you wrap it around the base wires, but half-hard wire can be springy and hard to work with, that's why I am thinking perhaps you have half hard
@@OxanaCrafts I'm not sure I got it with a start-up kit and I'm still figuring gauges . I'm waiting for more wire coming so I hope it will be easier. Thank you for your help 😊
Hello, Oxana, Every chance I get I watch some if your tutorials so that I can learn how to do this. In this one you hammered the end of the wire before doing a small loop and the wire looks flat nw. I have tried hammering my 16gauge wire - dead soft - and it does not look like that. I am using a steel platform and a steel hammer. What do I need to do to make this flat? Thank you for your help and please keep making your excellent tutorials.
hmm.. so it just doesn't flatten when you hammer? It can take a bit of time and effort to get it nice and flat, I know you didn't get to see me actually hammering in the video. Perhaps take a scrap piece of wire and practice hammering that. You can also use a file after to round the edges
@@OxanaCrafts Thank you. I will try it and see what happens. Thank you again for responding and for the advice.
What did you use to straiten the wire?
you can pull it through some nylon pliers to straighten
Hello Everyone! Very nice work Oxana!!! I just subscribed and hit your “notification “ bell...
I am just starting to practice wire wrap. I’ve watched a lot of videos and I’ve wrapped enough to know that it will take a lot of practice and that my thumbs get really sore! I don’t think I’ve heard any wire artists address this issue...LoL! Any advice? Is there a secret???
Thank you! they have medical tape that is a bit thick and cushion-y, try wrapping that around your thumb
Thank you for the tip, Oxana! I made two pieces today, maybe I can show you...
Just wondering if I could use a less thick wire to put around the cabochon?
You can try, but it may not hold it as well. If you try, I would hammer the wire to strengthen it after you bend it into the shape you need.
Thanks a lot for answering and for the great tutorials every time
9:51...The one who KNOCKS!
Are you using a thicker wire for the video? Just asking as it looks way thicker than the 16 gauge I bought from Rio. TIA
No it is 16, maybe because stone is small it looks extra thick by comparison. I actually got this wire very long ago so it is not from Rio, but you'd think 16 gauge would be same thickness regardless of supplier
@@OxanaCrafts thank you for answering, yes one would think that 16 gauge would be the same everywhere but I'm finding this to not be the case, unfortunately.
Gorgeous! Would this work with a coin?
I think it would, but I have never tried wrapping a coin
Definitely Not Angelina Jolie amei viu
BEAUTIFUL...I love your designs...I do have a question though, how do you keep your wrapping wire from breaking? Mine seems to work harden and break...always at the worst point in the design...I do use dead soft, but use rose gold colored filled wire. Thanks and keep up with the tutorials, I have learned a great deal from you!
Thank you! I think it just takes a little getting used to the wire, and then it will not beak for you. If it is your weaving wire that is breaking, try being more gentle with it, don't really pull on it too much, more just bend it around your other wires if that makes sense.
Thank you again...Weaving takes patience and a gentle hand...I'll get there!
Loving your artform, dear Oxana. Thank you so much!Can you tell me which number the long nose xuron pliers you are using, please? They look just what I need.
They don't have a number on them, but it says "tweezer"
We're do you buy these colour cabochon from in multiple??
Etsy or Ebay
Does the wire scratch the stone?
it is just sitting up against the stone so it won't, but if you were to try and scratch a stone like this with a wire, it could do that, since labradorites are a softer stone
I made one, but naturally, it's not as nice as yours. When I tried to wrap the 26 gage wire around the base wires, it squeezed them together and then it was impossible to keep the stone from shooting out and finish wrapping the other side and bottom.
Ahh, that is too bad, you do want to be gentle with the 26 gauge and not pull too hard. I'm sure next time you will get it! :)
OxanaCrafts You make it look so easy. It's very difficult to hold the slippery stone and wire in place until it's secure enough.
I even tried small pieces of painters tape. Results were a warped frame.
Pam Chewning I think maybe this one is for well experienced wrappers, such a Oxana.☺️ I ended up cutting mine off and setting the stone in a prong setting instead. maybe someday I'll have the chops to accomplish this wrap because I still really admire it.
Same here! I was able to get the frame going but the weaving caused it to warp and get out of shape. I tried every weaving wire I could find. I love this pendant and will probably try again when I get over my frustration!!! LOL
What is the name and colour of this cabochon what type of stone?
It is called Labradorite, these stones vary in color but this particular one to me looks mostly green.
What kind of stone is it?
Labradorite
could this be done with silver wire same guage or is it harder or softer than copper?
to be honest I have never worked with silver in that gauge so I have no idea, I know silver tends to be a little bit softer.

To be honest, what looked promising in the beginning turned out to be a right shambles.
What type of cord is that that you are showing in this video?
I don't really know, just a random piece of a cord necklace I had lying around, probably something from Michael's or ACMoore

Pendent out of Diamond
that looks more like 12 gauge wire than 16 gauge... unless you have really REALLY tiny hands
It's definitely 16 because I don't own any 12 gauge and have never worked with anything that thick. But I do have pretty small hand, so perhaps that is why it looks that way!
I do own 12 gauge and no way could you get it to bend like that. But Oxana it does seem a little bigger than the 16 gauge I have. Oh well probably has something to do with on camera or something. Lovely tut. I want to try it.
I thought the same thing regarding the gauge. Though, I’m 6’2 with large hands, so... I tried this with 14 gauge and it turned out pretty well.
Please also write diameter in mm.
I tried this 4 times and wasted yards of wire. This is not for anyone that does not have a lot of experience..Very disappointed because I love wire wrapping that doesn't cover up the beauty of the stone.
I am sorry it did not work out for you. I have some tutorials that are labeled as "beginner" that may work out better for you.
It's hard to watch these videos with all the tongue smacking sounds.. it hurts my soul 😂
This is a really old video, I have remade it with a better camera, so hopefully the sound is better now: th-cam.com/video/PqWt7Yfdn1U/w-d-xo.html
This would have been nicer if you had kept your work in view so that we could see what you were doing...you also need to use different pliers when manipulating that thick wire...you're nicking the heck out of your wire, which ends up with an aesthetically poorer looking piece in the end.
