TUTORIAL:

Fancy Band Prong Ring

By BobbiWiredPower Teacher Jan2010

Uploaded on: Jan 09, 2009
Level: Advanced
Price: $12.00
Description:

I love rings!!! I started making this design for me. :-) I wanted something fancier and classier than the norm. This design creates an elegant ring that people are amazed is wire wrapping, probably because it is not your traditional simple cab style.

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.

A ring chart is included at the end of the tutorial, and by request has been updated to include 1/2 sizes.

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.

If you're interested in complete kits - (stone, wire, and pattern wire included), please visithttp://MyWiredImagination.etsy.com - currently there are 14 different patterns available.

Price: $12.00

Material List:
  • One 8mm round faceted stone ~ 10mm round or 8x10mm oval or an 8 & 10mm antique checkerboard can also be used - (6mm stones can also be used but you need to reduce the square wire to 24g and a band no wider than 5mm)
  • 2 pieces 22g square ½ hard each 7” long (24g square if you’re using a 6mm stone)
  • 1 piece 18g ½ round wire ½ hard 12" long
  • One piece pattern wire 2 3/8” (60mm) (I’ve included a chart at the end of this tutorial for sizing)
Tool List:
  • Ring mandrel
  • chain or flat nose pliers
  • round nose pliers
  • flush cutter
  • jewelers’ ruler - preferably in millimeters
  • felt tip marker (sharpie)
  • masking or quilters tape
  • Optional: a small wooden dowel ¾” diameter.

Hi Lizmary_pr - Rio Grande carries pattern wire, though they do have minimum amounts you need to buy - I also carry complete and refill kits in my Etsy shop :)).
