Wrapped Up
Sterling wire and stone bead ring.
by Marie Lee Carter
This ring design can have many different looks based on different beads and
different gauge wire. For example, using 20-gauge base wire with 26-gauge wrap
wire and a pearl would result in a very delicate look. Use sterling silver base
wire and yellow or pink gold wrap wire for a mixed metals look. Experiment and
have fun!
