Wire Wrapped Copper Ring

Copper is wonderful material for jewelry especially if you have warm undertone of the skin.

It's also very easy to work with it , just perfect for beginners.

I used only basic tools so you don't need any special equipment for making this ring :-).

You need:

1. copper wire 2.0 and 0.5 mm diameter
2. flat -nose pliers
3. round- nose pliers
4. vise ( optional) or adhesive tape
5. thick marker

with the help of thin copper wire measure the the finger circuit ( see photo)

when you have the measurement cut 3 pieces of copper wire (2.0 mm diameter)

hold 3 pieces of copper wire in a vise or stick them together with adhesive tape and begin to weave wire ( 0.5 diameter) according to the instructions on the photos

wrap and squeeze with pliers

now it's the final stage, with the help of sand paper or nail file round off the sharp edges of the wire and give it the round shape on for example thick marker with the help of pliers

remember to cover the pliers with thick fabric or leather before you begin to work

here is how ready rings look like :-)

as you can see copper jewelry looks beautiful , it's really worth to make!
