Creating wire jewelry is an ancient Egyptian Art and
no wonder it's still around: the jewelry is beautiful, durable and easy to wear. The tools used are few, Round Nose Pliers,
Flat Nose Pliers, Chain Nose Pliers a Jewelers Ruler and Wire Cutters are all you need to get started. To make rings
all you need to add to your tools is a Ring Mandrel. The work is clean and non toxic. The pieces are solderless using only
pliers, wire and gemstones. No special work space is needed, any small area of your home will do. The materials are easily
available, they can be inexpensive or costly it's your choice. With a little persistence and practice anyone can
learn to create beautiful jewelry with wire.
So lets get started and have some fun learning.........................................
Cabochon Ring

ring made with square wire and a Cabochon of your choice. This style ring has a long history and much tradition connected
with the art of Wire Wrapping. Some experience working with wire is needed for this project. Due to the popularity of this
class we have scheduled a Cabochon Ring Class 2 for all of those who have taken the Cabochon Ring class 1 and would like to
go to the next level.
