Wire Wrapped Prong Ring Tutorial by MyWiredImagination

This listing is for the instructions on the techniques to make this piece of jewelry, not the actual piece, materials or tools.

Fancy Band is an advanced level project, although the instructions are very clear and thorough, and I've had many, many beginner to intermediate students successfully complete this project. It is 13 pages, with 43 clear crisp photos, and a total file size of 945KB.

This tutorial teaches you step by step, the techniques used to create this design. It is a wonderful design to create an elegant lasting piece of jewelry. The prong setting technique featured in this tutorial was developed by Jorgen Greftegreff.

Basic Materials Needed:
3" pattern wire
14" 22g square wire half hard
8" 18g 1/2 round half hard wire
8mm faceted round stone
Basic Tools Needed:
Ring mandrel, chain or flat nose pliers, round nose pliers, flush cutter, ruler - preferably in millimeters, felt tip marker (sharpie), masking or quilters tape. Optional: a small wooden dowel ¾” diameter.

Don't have these materials readily available to you? I have complete kits available in my shop, which includes the basic 8mm stone, 3” of pattern wire, 24” of square wire, and 12” of ½ round wire. The extra wire is for slight variations, and/or boo boos.:)
Also available fancier stone upgrades which equal the cost of the fancier stone minus the cost of a basic 8mm.
