I had finially got me a ring mandrel!
Here I will show and explain how I made the up above ring. First I used my wedding ring to see what size my ring finger.
It says I'm a 7. I used a small piece of wire, to help measure the finger i want the ring. I finger i measure is about a 10. So that what size I'm making my ring.
I chose black wire as my ring, but there is all type and sizes. I really don't know the size of this wire but I started out with 10 inches. I know I wasn't going to be using that much, but better to be to long then to short.
I decided that the ring design will be a wrap around.
So I wrap the wire around the mandrel twice, the mandrel is laying down and I bent the wire up. I took off the ring and see if it fit.
It did so I figure it needed something. So I found some beads to help with the look. The glass 4mm, with a silver inside.
You might have to yours your wire cutter to cut the access off. Start by uses round nose pliers and make an open loop at the end.

| Slid on the beads, and bend the wire onto it self so it enclose the bead. |
And there you go. It's not perfect, but who need perfect in this imperfect world.
