Description:

Wire wrappers have struggled with the eternal problem of how to wrap a bezel around a non-drilled stone. This lesson offers a solution which also solves an even trickier problem, to wrap a faceted point back stone. Although not easy to accomplish, faceted stones as small as 6mm have been successfully wrapped with this technique!

Post a Tip about this Tutorial

LUV this Tutorial! I have this tute! Eni, thanks for all of the beautiful & affordable tutorials that you have shared over the years with the many folks wishing to learn this fine art! Thanks! Juli ;)

I just wanted to add, this actually requires 6 feet of the 28g if you use the size stone that's in the tute, not 3 feet! Just so you know in advance. :)
I'm hoping this works as well as it looks; I almost had this down without buying the tutorial, but now that I did I'm happy I spent the money because there's a LOT of good tips in here that I couldn't have thought of on my own. Very informative, and very useful for someone who does a lot of wire wrapping! :)
