Default Tutorial for Crystal Criss-Cross Bling Ring !

I have been making these rings for the past year and they have been selling very well for me ! Selling at $40. they are a huge money maker/eye catcher at Shows and don't take very long to make. (I am usually making these at show, customer love to watch!)

Materials needed:
Wire - 22 gauge Square Sterling Silver Soft = 18 inches
- 22 gauge Square Gold filled Soft = 9 ½ inches
- 21 gauge Half-round Sterling OR Gold-fill = 3 inches
- 3-4 inch piece of scrap wire, preferably 18 gauge
Crystals - 4 mm - 6 needed, or you may use less. You may also use pearls, or what ever
you prefer.

So, I thought I would pass these on in the way of a Tutorial. I will have it up on Etsy tomorrow for $9.50, if there is any interest !

Thanks !! Lorraine

Here are some colors, top showing the tops. I have made some as Family/Mother/Daghter rings too, some with only 4 or 5 crystals.

The Tutorial is getting "Trialed" by my daughter right now .... so hopefully be available later today !

Hi Nancy, I would say a beginner can do this. Actually when I sent it to my daughter, kit n'all, she didn't have any problems. That was her first intro to any wire work ...ended up having to make a couple more for her co-workers.

The Tutorial covers each step, using your fingers mostly, to manipulate the wire where you want it. I'm online all the time, for q/a !

Thanks for the inquire ! Lorraine
