My very first attempt at a wire wrap ring. I'm not even gonna tell ya how long it took me!! I was very surprised at how simple it really is, I am pretty sure that with a little more practice, I should be able to make one in a somewhat shorter time. Even though it is somewhat simple, there is a couple spots that are pretty tricky as to the locating of the wires. Those spots required a little re-do. It is made of 21g HH Sterling Silver, square, and same size half round SS. The stone is pet wood, a piece my wife liked and she wanted on the ring. Afterall, she gets the first one! Mike Thanks to all for looking!

Good job, I don't think rings are that easy. I saw one that looked simple spent 2hours but it wasn't as simple as it looked. Donna

They call this the Pharaoh's ring and some can do it easily and others...not so easy. Great job!

OOO I remember my first ring, it was that same one - made it for my dad out of blue hawk eye - he wore it while roofing a house - needless to say the stone and wraps fell out of it and the end pieces are now separate.
I have to fix it
I love yours - nice & neat wraps

You did a great job with your first ring. I tried that design also and they did not come out looking pretty as yours but they are fun to make.
