Ha ha ha! A ring stick! That cracks me up you call a mandrel a ring stick.
Just made another ring alongside this tutorial! I love how simple and beautiful it came out! She’s a great teacher! Love these videos and can’t wait to keep trying projects!
You should have wrapped the circle with a layer of wire for extra stability. A ring like that would be incredibly easy to deform.
Thanks to you maam, I have learned from you,My sister in law she makes,but I learned from you,thanks to you.
My mind is coming up with many ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Just made this! So easy and looks great. I made it with Rose gold color wire and amethyst.
Does it feel like a normal ring or do you have to use something else besides wire?
I love all your tutorials, Susan, especially your ring tutorials! I would love to see a tutorial that can use up my collection of bicone crystal beads in a fresh way. Bicones tend to look dated in earrings, but I’m thinking that the right ring design might breathe fresh life into them. I have a variety of sizes, from 4mm to 12mm. By the way, I have used some of the bicones in JTV’s cocktail ring design, but I am looking for more of an easy every day ring design. Thank you!!
Brilliant video and easy to follow. Im gonna definitely give this a go. Thank you!
So pretty! You make it look so easy. Thank you.
All your tutorials are great. Really inspiring. Thank you 😀
wow i just made on with an obsidian bead! so simple, thank you!
Fabulous. Love the video. Thank you.
this is so simple but cool. Thank you so much for sharing I think I'm going to do this today.
Wow I love this! I am considering going into jewelry making for myself and this helped greatly!
Omg that was so easy looking,thanks for sharing!
Ahhhh thank you! I’ve tried making so many rings and have failed so many times but thanks to you! I understand it perfectly now thank you!!!
Thank for your gift and talented.
You make it look so easy good job on the ring.
Beautiful ❤️ thank you for sharing
Thanks. It took a few tries, but after I got better at holding it still on the mandrel, I made a good one with brass and a citrine nugget. Love it. Thanks again.
Another great learning video!!!

Thank you for showing this video. I have arthritis real bad in my hands. My finger size is actually 9 but need 11 to get over my joints. Using the wire I can fit over my knuckles then can manipulate wire to fit

I am going to try this! I have all the supplies but the main one.. the ring tool. I'm buying one today and making a ring for my best friend. Thank you for this tutorial!!
Wow . Amazing. God bless.
I would love to see how you made the rectangular flat ring you wore in another video. It's curved and quite large.
Thank you

Ooo you made it look so easy?
What about putting a smaller bead on each side of the larger one? Or adding different wire in or braiding the wire?
Might have to try experimenting with this...
Love this! Thank you for making it look simple!
Thanks for watching!
Omg thank you! This helped so much

Appreciate you for your fabulous training video and your generous personality,May GOD Blessed you and Good luck 🍀 to you ,Ms.Susan🥰
Hello 👋
These look so easy! Can you please provide the link for the ring mandrel?
Love this Thank You. I am wondering if you give suggestions on where to purchase wire when we aren’t buying a large bulk. Just a little to start ! ❤️
Hi Margaret! So glad you're getting started! We have this project kitted up here with small spools of wire but if you're looking for less than a spool, it might be hard to find such a small amount. Maybe split with a friend! Thanks! www.jtv.com/product/i-made-this-princess-leia-inspired-ring-supply-kit-includes-beads-and-wire/JSYT17?rrec=true?mcid=XSOjsyt
I have only ever heard of the "stick" you keep referring to as a ring mandrel in jewelry making. Pretty ring.
i love this
Will you be showing how to carve a lost wax ring / jewellery?
So beautiful
I made mine with a rose bead I love it wearing it now
you’re so helpful
That was wonderful! Can you make a prong set ring with wire with proper finishing?
I have noticed this series doesn’t seem to show the close ups of the finished product which is frustrating.
Nice
Thanks
I just ordered Crystal Glass appx 8mm Rondelle Bead Strand Set of 12 in 12 Colors appx 14-15" and saw the rings you made with these! Love them. How do you use headpins to make them rings using these beads as you did on your video. Thank you. I love your videos and JTV
Love your help am having trouble with stretch rings i ned some good nelp
Hi Donna! We haven't done a lot of tutorials on stretch rings, but it's a great idea. Thanks!
Hello, enjoying the tutorials, they are simple, clear and informative. What would someone need to actually make (or drill) holes into gemstones to be able to use them in jewelry making? Is there anything relatively badic and inexpensive? Thanks 😊
You can get a relatively inexpensive drill press JSTKIT27 or you can use a good rotary tool. To drill through gemstones, you will need diamond coated drill bits, lubricant and a bit of patience! If you are going to try this, stick to softer, inexpensive stones to start (JLW9655). It takes practice and you do not want to break a stone that is expensive or precious to you!
Hey! I really like your tutorial and how easy it is. I really want a ring stick like yours. Where did you get that one from?
I've made several rings the past couple days and the problem I'm having is with round beads. When I begin the wrapping around the bead, it doesn't wrap in a circular way, it wraps in a horizontal oval around the wire on the sides of the bead and the bead is lop sided. My fingers are killing me trying to wrap that wire. I've wasted so much wire wrapping unevenly. I unwrap and try to rewrap and the wire gets all twisted. It's a nightmare. 😆
Not sure what exactly is causing you to have trouble without observation but it may help to anneal the wire first. If you haven't done so. It's often been work hardened as it was drawn out.
Beautiful🇨🇷
I would love to know how to make a thick signet ring!!!! It would be awesome if you could make a video on that!
Great suggestion!
Hi,love this video,your finger ring is also beautiful can you teach us how can make it,thanks
Thank you for your time and sharing this beautiful ring and technique. The person who made the mean comment.(Lizzie CT)...hey that was so unnecessary Ive been making rings and jewelry for 15 years and yes it's called a ring manderal but a ring stick is very obvious what it is. Just use your brain! Also I don't think it's messy, I love the look!!! Thanks again Susan, great teacher!

Not sorry that you consider my comment "mean". Try going to Michael's or AC Moore where most budding jewelry makers start buying their supplies and search for ring sticks. Not going to find them because the professional name is ring mandrell. Why confuse the people you want to watch your videos and buy your products by using the wrong name? Also, when I see something that is potentially dangerous to a new jewelry maker...such as the video showing first timers how to use a torch and the 2 people using it have long hair hanging near the torch, I'm going to point it out. Next time, you should use my whole name/user id. I found this well after the fact when it was pointed out to me. At least now I was able to explain my "mean" comment whether you like the explanation or not.
Wonderful👏🇪🇸
Can you do a video making a ring with a regular gemstone (not a bead with holes)? I have a couple local gem/crystal shops I love and buy from but they don't have gem beads.
Adore that! 💕😘
Fantastic! Can you show us other tipe of ring with wire?
I looooove your channel. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to wrap those small clear flat glass stones from Dollar Tree?
what brand ring mandrel are you using? I have been having trouble finding accurate ones
Eeeeasy thank you
Hello Susan! I've seen you recently wearing multi stone rings made like this one. I'd like to see this technique. They are like 3 in a row or (today) 4 in a row and it appears they are wire wrapped.
So glad you like it! That one is coming up soon ;)
tank you !!!!!
Great tutorial. Can we only do it if it’s a bead? What if my stones don’t have a hole through them is there a way to still make these rings ? Is there a tool I need to make a hole or is it possible to wire it securely without it..
Hey Claudia! So glad you asked! Susan did a "Basic Ring for Everyday" tutorial that We think you might like. She uses beads with holes in them. Check it out!

I've been watching quite a few wire wrapping videos by lots of people and I notice that certain Tools can sometimes put a nick or scratch in the metal. How do you fix this? Also, can you recommend a good book on wirewrapping for beginners?
Thanks so much
Hi Toby! You can use a dip to coat your pliers, we don't sell it at JTV though - one I like is called Tool Magic.
wowwwww thank youuu
can i use a binding ring for this?
thank you susan (r.h)
What could I possibly use instead of a regular ring stick?
