New Tutorial in My Shop - Wire Wrap Daisy Ring
Wednesday, May 01, 2013
I first started making this dainty Daisy Ring exactly a year ago this month.
Once you get the hang of it, you can complete one ring within 15 minutes.
I first started making this dainty Daisy Ring exactly a year ago this month.
Remember the Adjustable Wire Rose Cuff from the other day?
One of them is that plain looking wire rose cuff.
I decided to add some color to it and here is the result.
Not so plain anymore.
This time around the crystal are tinier - 2mm Swarovski crystal bicone beads
Don't get any naughty ideas :)
I am referring to the Coiled Filigree Earrings by Emily.
Tried out the project yesterday.
Well, I didn't follow through the tutorial.
Reason being I got flooded with other ideas halfway through the project.
First, while making the hoop, I decided to change it from dangle to hoop earrings.
The size of the hoops are maintained at 2.5cm in diameter.
Here are some of the recent happenings and links that I would like to share.
Hope you'd find them informative and useful too.
First thing first.
Emily Secret Passions
The multi-talented Emily just joined the club.
She recently opened her Etsy Store, EmilySecretPassions (Handcrafted Wire Jewelries, Gifts & Tutorials).
She is in the process of getting her shop populated.
At the moment there are several items listed including two wire jewelry tutorials.
Emily is multi-talented because she can do crochet, beading (ah...too strenuous for my eyes), sewing and twist wire into beautiful jewelry.
Not only that, she is a good cook too :)...need to learn from her one day.
Here's a sample of Emily's Crochet Earrings.
These two adjustable wire wrapped rose cuffs were completed a week ago.
However, I only managed to take pictures of them yesterday and between that a day have passed.
This two wire wrapped cuffs are constructed using the same method as the Adjustable Wire Wrap Rose Ring. (Click this link for the tutorial).
For these cuffs, I used 18ga stainless steel wire (they are tough!) and adorned one of them with Swarovski Crystals and a smaller rose at the side. For the smaller rose, I use 20ga wire.
I think the 3mm Swarovski crystals are too big for this wire rose.
Kind of over-populating the wire rose.
First thing first.

I am very sure anyone without wire wrapping experience would be able to make one of this ring.
Allocate about 30 minute or less for this project.
