So I decided to share a few cool ideas that you guys can use to spice up your rings! Most of them are fairly simple, so, sorry, I didn't make a tutorial :(
(Did I put too many commas there?)
I'll just post a few pics but if you are dying to know how it's done, leave a comment! I will try to scrap together a how-to for ya.
Okay anyways, here are the pics. Sorry they're a bit dark but I took them at night so.... ya.
Here I just added a bead (jade if you're wondering) in the center of a circle. You might recognize this as the ring I used in my tutorial :)
This is a sorta blurry picture.... Here I just wrapped three Swarovski Crystal beads around a simple band of wire. Has a nice delicate look, I think.
Finally you can just add a bead to wire while you are making the ring... super simple, of course!
That's it! Remember if you need a tute just stick in a comment, I will eventually make you one!
Thanks!

So it turns out that making a wire ring is super simple... even I (who is scared very easily by instructions with more than 5 steps) can make them! These are SUUUPER cute gifts to make in a flash... yay! They're cheap too, all you need is a bit of wire and some needle-nose pliers.
You can also use a few beads to pizzazz-up your ring!
Okay! Here we go!
- Gather supplies: Wire (I used 14 gauge) and needle-nose pliers (opt. beads)
- Fold the wire in half (when I say in half I don't mean down the middle... just into to sections. It's actually better if the fold ISN'T in the middle.)
- Wrap the folded wire once around the finger of your choice
- Use the pliers to style the remaining amount of wire however you please!
