Using a chain nose plier, create a triangle in the top of the ring using the left side wire.
You should get the shape as shown in picture 5. Make the base for marquise gemstoneĪfter weaving, bend the other end of the wire downward. Then continue weaving till there is about 1.5cm left. This bend is where to start the weaving process. Then bend one end of the wire upwards using a chain nose plier. Wrap a piece of 22 gauge wire around the ring mandrel. The bead I am using is about 8mm in width, as a result, the length it needs on the ring is about 1.5cm. However, we’ll need to measure the width of the marquise gemstone in advance to make sure there’s enough room left on the ring. Unlike the previous two projects which start with making the base, this project leaves the base to the end.
Marquise Shape Gemstone of your choice (I used a 13mm Citrine Gemstone). Wire Wrapped Ring with Marquise Shape Gemstone Now our delicate teardrop gemstone ring has been completed! 3. Then secure the wire at the top of the triangle, as shown in picture 9. To completely secure the top-drilled teardrop bead in place, we can form a cross in the front of the bead using the remaining 28 gauge wire. Then continue wrapping the wire along the sides of the triangle for about 10 times (picture 8). Secure the teardrop gemstone in the center of the triangle with 28 gauge wire as shown in picture 7. Then using the two ends of the 22 gauge wire, secure the ring at where the weaving pattern stopped (picture 6). As a result, you’ll get a rough ring shape with 3 layers of wire at back and a triangle at front (picture 4). Wrap the entire piece around a ring mandrel. Then separate two legs apart to reveal the sharp corner. Fold a piece of 22 gauge wire in the middle using a chain nose plier. Make the base for the teardrop gemstoneįirst thing first, let’s create a sharp corner with wire to accommodate the teardrop shape. Teardrop Shape Gemstone of your choice (I used a 10mm Blue Crystal). Wire Wrapped Ring with Teardrop Shape Gemstone Now our simple round bead wire wrapped ring has completed! 2. We can wrap both half way around the bead and secure at the opposite ends one or two times. Slide a piece of thin wire through the bead and wrap it around the base as shown in picture 9.Īt this point, we still have two loose ends at the front. Add the beadĪfter weaving, we can add the round gemstone to the base. This approach was also used for the next two projects. The weaving pattern I used is 5 wraps around the two layers and 5 wraps around a single layer (picture 8). To secure the ring, weave a piece of 28/30 gauge wire into the main wire. For the extra wire at the front, bend one end upward and the other downward, as shown in picture 6. As a result, we’ll have a basic ring shape as in picture 5. Wrap the entire piece around the ring mandrel. Then bend the two ends outward using a chain nose plier. 
The wire loop created will serve as the base for the round bead to sit on. Take a piece of 22-gauge wire, wrap the middle around the looping plier as shown in picture 2.
