Instructions:

  1. If you do not already know your ring size, measure it using a ring sizer or go to a jewelry store and ask them to measure your finger. There is usually no charge for this. This ring is adjustable, so you will have some room to work with.

  2. Find the corresponding number on the ring mandrel as your ring size. Line the mid point of the filigree width with that number on the mandrel. Using the pressure of your fingers, mold the filigree around the mandrel to form the ring.

  3. Place your Swarovski rivoli in the center of your bead cap and press the bead cap petals around the crystal, making a setting.

  4. Cut 6" of 26 gauge wire. Fold in half. Going from the underside of the ring, thread the wire through two adjacent holes in the middle of the ring. Pull through to the other side (the top side). Thread one end of wire through the bottom of your Swarovski bead cap setting and pull out the other side, do the same with the other end of wire but come from the opposite side. Pull snug so that the crystal setting is tight against the top of the filigree. If you want to add a little stability, loop each end of wire in and out several underside filigree holes, just make sure your wire ends come out the top and do not do more then one or two of these securings.

  5. Now take one end of wire and wind it around the base of your bead cap setting until you run out of wire. Do the same with the other end of wire, but wind in the opposite direction.

  6. To see this project from start to finish, watch the video.

  7. Enjoy!

TIP: If you are having trouble using your fingers to mold the filigree around the mandrel, pre-bend the filigree by using Bail making pliers. Start on one end and gently bend the filigree until you get to the other end. You are just pre-shaping the filigree, not making it into a circle at this point.

Also, if you want your filigree to "pop" - use the Vintaj Relief Block

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
