Make Wire Rings with Eva Sherman in Minutes, Perfect for Gifts and Parties

There are always gift-giving days around the corner, and I know many of you like to make gifts for your friends and family. Time to get started! A versatile, fast, and easy gift idea for friends and family is to make wire rings. With minimal supplies that you probably have on hand–wire, pliers, maybe a hammer and some sort of mandrel–you can whip up wire-wrapped rings in no time. Plus, ring making is so much fun!

Add some beads or crystals when you make wire rings for even more design opportunities. Plus, you can modify this technique to whip up a sparkly and festive cocktail ring to keep you party-ready all year long. It’s fun to wear an eye-catching ring to a dinner party or just for everyday, especially if it’s a conversation starter that you’ve made yourself. Many jewelry sales are made that way, hint hint!

Have fun creating rings like the Copper Top Ring by Denise Peck, and read on to see many other ways to make wire rings.  I made a similar sterling silver ring once using a faux pearl bead, a tiny Swarovski crystal bead, and a disc of abalone shell. It took less than 10 minutes to make! Once you’ve learned this basic ring-making technique, the possibilities of elements you can stack into rings are truly endless.
