Level: Intermediate
Description:

This tutorial will teach you how to make this original and unique Twist Knot Ring. I designed this ring to match the Herringbone Twist bracelet, the instructions for that bracelet is in another tutorial. http://www.jewelrylessons.com/tutorial/herringbone-twist-cuff-bracelet I wrote the tutorial for the bracelet first and now the tutorial for the ring. This ring will take some previous experience working with wire. One of the things that is interesting about this design is that everyone's can turn out a little different depending on your personal touch making your ring uniquely yours. I hope you enjoy making and wearing this beautiful ring, it is strong, sturdy and comfortable to wear.
So lets have some fun and make this beautiful ring.

Oh, I am so happy you published this tutorial, Pat. It is a must-have for my how-to-do knot jewelry collection. At the moment I am with your Single Crystal Puzzle Wrap. It is so much fun to do. However, this knot ring is gorgeous.

Thanks Lizbeth I'm so glad you would like to wear the ring together with the bracelet, I designed it as a set. :-D

Thank you Eni, my goal was to teach every step as thorough as possible. Including all those little details that make completing the ring so much easier. I'm so glad I decided to write a tutorial on this ring. I love wearing it as a set with the Herringbone Twist Bracelet. :-D

Knot rings are a favorite of mine and I really like this one. Thanks!!!

Thanks Tinamia, knot rings do have a certain charm don't they :-D And this ring really looks nice when worn with other rings. It's one of my staples, I wear mine all the time. Thanks for the comment :-D
Pat.................................. :-D

Thanks for the question, yes this ring would look great in mixed metals and you could make the two into one bracelet also in mixed metals. It would make a lovely set. Good Luck and please post if you decide to try it. :-D

Does this match the bracelet? I just noticed that.

Yes LinRose the link to the Herringbone Twist bracelet is in the description.
