Braided Wire Ring

This braided wire ring turned out totally different from initially planned.
This one is made of 24ga sterling silver wire and oxidized using the egg method as I have shared here before.
What I like most about this ring is that the stone is flanked on both sides by two small roses. The same rose as my wire rose earrings and rose rings :D

This ring is paired with a braided cuff, picture of which should be coming soon as I have loads of them to go through and edit.
Have a wonderful week then.

Wire Wrapped Rose Earrings and Brooch

Back when I just started with wire jewelry over 3 years ago, one of the first people I got to know is Kulli (Karnaaks) from Estonia. She especially love my Twice Around the World Bracelet. :) Be patience a bit ya Karnaaks! I should get started with the tut soon.
We lost touch for a while, then we got connected via Facebook. But then I just don't get to read all the fresh feeds each day. Most of the time I missed out on these feeds and happenings, including hers.
Recently though we got in touch again when she shared with me her wire wrapped rose earrings and brooch. She did them her way and they are some beautiful variations.
Here are some pictures of her creations. Hope you got inspired by them.

New Wire Wrapped Stud Earrings

Two pairs of Wire Wrapped Pearl Stud Earrings
It feels like a long time since I last made these studs.
Finally two new pair of pearl stud earrings based on my top wrapped and simple but elegant methods.
They are wire wrapped with only a piece of wire (each side), no soldering or gluing.
They are really fun to make and will make great gifts...especially last minute gifts.
These two pairs will soon be heading to their new owners :)
