Description:

Lesson in Patience Prong Ring and the Atom Pendant
This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to create a stunning solitaire style prong ring AND how to convert the style into the Atom Pendant – 2 TUTORIALS IN ONE ...........

Materials suggested are for the ‘Lesson In Patience” ring – material requirements for the “Atom pendant” are covered at the beginning of the pendant section.
A ring size chart is included at the end of the tutorial, and by request has been updated to include 1/2 sizes.

This is an advanced lesson, but even beginner/intermediate wire workers with a solid grasp of the basics can, with 'patience' accomplish both designs.
