How Do You Make Sterling Wire Rings?
Sterling silver wire rings are a fun and easy jewelry item to make, either for yourself, as gifts or as something you can sell. They are involve one of the easiest jewelry-making techniques as they require a minimal investment in tools and materials and often don’t require a soldering iron. They are a good project for a beginning jeweler. Sketch the design you want for your ring. To make a ring that doesn’t require soldering, you’ll need to make a design that can be created from one continuous strand of wire or from wire that has other strands wrapped around the beginning strands. Beads can also be strung onto original or wrapped strands, depending on the thickness of the wire you’re working with. Clamp your ring mandrel to your work table so that it doesn’t slide as you work with your ring. Make a note of the ring size you want to make, and see that the preferred size, marked on your mandrel, is accessible to you and not blocked by its clamping on the table. Lay out all of your tools
