He made sizing easy by first using a piece of copper wire to set the length of wire needed for the actual ring. The squiggles can be made smaller if you are not into statement rings or you could add different flourishes of your own.

Great post. I often watch Mark on "Beads, Baubles and Jewels". He teaches great metal-working techniques.
ReplyDeleteI love this ring! I have already made several using silver aluminum wire. They are so cute and quick and easy. My favorite kind of project!
