Cabochons are not only for pendants! You can indeed wire wrap smaller cabochons for rings. Int his collection, the designer-instructors use different techniques to capture the stones. OxanaCrafts' copper wire woven cabochon ring tutorial can also be oxidized.
I also love her simpler looking design tutorial. She uses only 2 base wires compared to 3 in the above tutorial. It is a good idea to be generous when cutting wire - better too much than too little!
Oxanacrafts also did this tutorial which features a beautiful wire woven ring band.
This braided wire cabochon tutorial by Christina of CSL Designs is another winner especially if you like open designs. A little tricky to get even braiding with the thicker wire she uses.
Archidee has an advanced wire wrapped ring tutorial in English. Just so you are not confused, she means half round wire when she says demiround wire. Half round wire sits better when wrapping on the foundation square wire.
