Designer Tips

• For step-by-step instructions, see the Double Wrap Hammered Ring portion of our 2014 blog post on creating rustic hammered wire wrapped Swarovski crystal rings.
• Putting a small bend in the wire on either side of the bead before attaching to the thicker gauge wire will help keep the bead in place.
• Make sure the ends of the large gauge wire don't hang too far over, or they will catch on things and bend.
• Copper can turn you green, but it's also believed to have anti-arthritic properties when worn directly on the skin. Other wire options include sterling silver, silver filled and gold-filled. (Links below.)
