Can someone please tell me how to make a wire neck ring?
I want to try this before purchasing Memory Wire.

Thank you.

With memory wire, it's very easy.
You simply buy the right size (neck-size) memory wire, string beads on it, and either glue memory wire ends onto the ends, or use a pair of tough round-nose pliers to loop the ends of the memory wire into 3-5mm (1/8 - 3/16") loops to prevent your end beads from falling off.

For a simple choker necklace, use about 1.5 coils, which when it stretches, will go all around the average neck, and overlap slightly in the back (to help prevent falling off.)

Search our Gallery for the phrase "memory wire" for a few examples.

"Inferno" is a popular design, made with SmartBeads to space beads along the design.
