How to Make a Swarovski Pearl Wire Wrapped Ring

Wire Wrapped Rings are always popular and fun to make. You can wear them or give them as gifts. In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to make a Wire Wrapped Ring with a Swarovski Pearl.

Step 1: You'll Need Jewelry Making Pliers

1) Flat Nose Pliers
2) Wire Cutters
3) Optional Round Nose Pliers

Step 2: Add a Swarovski Pearl and Wire

You will need to purchase a Swarovski Pearl or use a similar bead if you have one. Take 2 1/2 feet of brown 18 gauge artistic wire or wire of your choice.

Step 3: You'll Need a Ring Mandrel

I used a steel ring mandrel but you can use anything that will allow you to wrap the wire around it in the shape of a ring.

Step 4: Thread the Wire With the Bead

Take the Pearl bead and thread it onto the wire.

Step 5: Position the Bead

Position the bead in the middle of the wire.

Step 6: Place Wire on Mandrel

Place the wire on the mandrel about one size larger than the size you want. Example, If you wear a size 7, place the wire at size 8. Bend wire around the mandrel and wrap the wire around 2 times.
