You make it look so easy.... you make it easy to follow along too, so thank you. I love your videos.
Your videos have an incredible effect on me... apart from learning something beautiful and interesting, your voice calms me down inexplicably. And it's not easy to do that LOL Thank you for your amazing videos 🥰 and for everything else ❤️
I must admit this... I almost had a heart attack when you cut those back wires 🤣 Well, that's my "defect" ... I can't cut wires... I twist, swirl, spiral etc... and the final piece ends sometimes like it's too... "much" of it.
I am learning from you the beauty of simplicity, which I admire. Thank you once again. ❤️
(still recovering after the cut of those wires... 😝).
I knoow I love her voice, thays the only reason I watched her videos lol
There are so many videos I simply can’t watch because of the voice or the long, brightly painted fingernails. These are the only tutorials I can watch.
I’m a novice at wire wrapping, and I love watching your videos. I find your step by step teaching the most helpful that I’ve seen. Thank you so much for all your time and energy you put into your tutorials. I’ve become a subscriber!
Великолепная работа! Как, впрочем и все ваши работы! Чувство меры, тонкий вкус и результат - великолепные, элегантные украшения, достойные королев! 🌸💕🌸
I Love this design. One of the reasons that I Love square wire is so that we can twist it. Lol I'm thinking that I just might twist my wire. Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us. 😊😊💜💜💜
That's a great idea!
I had your labradorite’s twin and have been trying to figure out a way to wrap it with minimal wire because it’s just so beautiful. Thank you for creating tutorials for newbs like me. Content creators like you enable people like me to use art to stave off depression and find joy again. 😊
It is such a beautiful Labradorite, glad you have the twin! :)
Hi Oxana thank you for the video! We are all doing what we can with the pandemic so please don’t apologize!
I can tell I'll be watching this video 20 times - I'm grateful and psyched to have found it :) You answered a few questions about trimming wire that I didn't know I had.
I just made this design on a kinda square agate I found at the beach, thanks for the instruction 😀
You’re welcome 😊
This is at the top of my favorites list. I have a beautiful square labradorite stone and haven’t come up with a design. This is perfect as it will let the beauty of the stone show. Thank you so much. And I like to hear the little stories about your life beyond being a jewelry artisan. 😊
Thank you so much! :)
Great video & instructions. Wire wrapping intimidates me but I'm going to try when I get some square & half round wires. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
I really like that one. A great choice for how to show off the best of the stone. Thanks for sharing. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Thank you!
Glad to hear your family is safe--we finally got COVID and now it's February 2022.... crazy times....Love all your wire jewelry work, it's very soothing to watch.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you all feel better soon!
So pretty. I love the elegant simplicity. It doesn't take away from the gorgeous stone.
Such a pretty design, thanks for sharing. I think that I will have a go with some sea glass and see how it turns out. Thanks again!
I'm sure I'll be making something with this pendant tutorial next month 😉
I have square and diamond shape cabs. I surely will try your tutorial. Thank-you so much for sharing!
I have to practice with the square and half round wire. I watch you do it and it always looks gorgeous.
I really love this design, very nice and not too ornate ✌️❤️
I love that stone, its beautiful. ❤❤
Thank you!
Rain doesn't equal terrible 😔
Thanks for the tutorial
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
Love the elegant simplicity of this design. Thanks for a great tutorial.
You are so welcome!
What a great video! I love the simplicity,yet very elegant look of pendant. Thank you for great instructions on how to make this.
You are very welcome!
A great tutorial, thank you so much. Lovely pendant, you make it look so easy! Looking forward to trying it!..
Thank you for wrapping a square stone!
I love the way you turned it
So beautiful and clean thank you
This looks so great, now I have to find some Square and half round wire in Germany. I would love to give it a try....
Oxana? Is that your first name? Rain is not bad weather here in Arizona. And you're the BEST WRAPPER on youtube! I LOVE your videos. You wrap EVERYTHING!!! 💕💕💕💕. So professional!!!! 💕💕💕💕
Thank you! Yes Oxana is my first name :)
It’s so beautiful! Thank you very much! 🌸💕🌸
Thank you!
Beautiful. I have lots of square cabs and this will be helpful. Thanks
Thanks for this lesson, help me so much ❤️🇩🇰
you are very welcome!
Great!!! Thanks so much! It´s very useful and inspirativ for me to watch and follow your lessons… I hope youˇll see your parents soon and catch your usual rythm of life.
Thank you! 😃
Fantastic wrap !!! I’m definitely going to try that one !! Thanks for sharing dear.
Love the way you finish off the back wires and the downward bend on the front ones! Thanks for your clarification on how to wrap both ends of the half-round wire! Any chance you can do some more rectangular designs...maybe even a bracelet? I have several stones around 1" that I'm needing designs for. Thanks!
I'll try to make a rectangular tutorial soon
Very beautiful ❤️ thank you so much for your good and helpful video 🙏
My biggest challenge is bending the square wire to hold the stone in. I guess I haven't mastered my technique, especially in the front. I can't always get both sides identical 🤦🏼♀️half round wire is my next battle... it twists on me sometimes so I have to fight with it to finish my bail hahaha. Thank you for your videos, they are super helpful 😊
Oh yes! This came out perfect. Just enough! Thank you for another great idea!
Beautiful as is the norm with all of your creations! I love your tutorials and even though I have notifications turned on, I ALWAYS check to see if there are any new ones posted! Anyhow - could this be done with a puffy heart? [It has a front drilled hole that I'm thinking can be covered with a swirl or some other decoration - I hope!]
Ahhh! South Australia! That's why I can detect a SLIGHT accent! Was wondering where that came from! I thought for sure you were from/ in Canada or Switzerland or Sweden or something!😋🐶🐕🐩
Mahalo & Aloha Nui Loa!
About 6 years ago we moved to Australia, but I actually lived most of my life in the US. Mostly Boston, but then also North Carolina. I think you could do it with a puffy heart, and then just cover up that hole with a swirl or a bead
Love the wrap
thank you!
Hi there from down south in Adelaide South Australia, I’m loving yr videos atm and I’m inspired to get some supplies and start a new hobby.. Thankyou :)
Oh wow, so cool you are from nearby!
@@OxanaCrafts Do you do classes?
no I haven't done any classes here in Australia
Благодарю за великолепный урок! 🌸💕🌸
I really wish I could remember if I mailed you some Cabs as a thank you for all that I learned from you. Getting to be quite a few years ago now. I should cut a couple and send them just to be sure. I learned a lot from you!
I don't think you have, but I am all the way in Australia, so while I appreciate your kind offer, I wouldn't want you to have to pay international shipping.
@@OxanaCrafts Yes, I remember when you moved. I have made a Lot of wire wraps since I learned from your videos. I think that justifies a couple $’s for shipping. 😂
Wonderful, thank you so very much.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Such a beautiful project. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Спасибо, Оксана! Очень красиво!
Thanks so much! I’ll give it a try 😀
O Ana….I have two pairs of pliers identical to yours. (I bought xuron because you use them) One pair has blue masking tape on metal jaws so as to not scratch.
정말 이쁘다~~~~^^❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing! I am a beginner.
wire balance is difficult 💦very nice！👍
Thank you!
This is everything
Great tutorial for a square cabochon. When I swish the wire to front and back, I always scratch my wires, is there a trick to avoid this please?
You can use a cloth over the wire before you press down on it with your pliers, so protect the wire. But scratches will happen sometimes, I use sandpaper to remove them.
@@OxanaCrafts I have wrapped the ends of my pliers and other tools with some thing which looks like green self adhesive bandage but does not leave any residue. I want to see if it will stay on the tools and if it will prevent wire marking. Has anyone else tried this and did it work for you?
I have tools that have plastic covers over them so there are no tool marks or scratches. Well worth the few extra dollars. Buy them for less on Ebay.
@@OxanaCrafts sand paper only works if you have Raw wire. Please don't use it on wire that has a non tarnish coating.

您太棒了，佩服
Amaizing
Absolutely love it❤️❤️
Love your designs, explanations, and video work. Thanks for sharing. I love the look of the square wires but I have trouble keeping them straight and aligned, even at the beginning when I’m first tying them all together. Any suggestions?
I like to grab a cloth and run my wires though it to straighten
Great video as usual!
Gracias muy lindo trabajos
Adorable!!!! 😍😍
Beautiful indeed... Can you live me a link where we can buy this beautiful stone and in this shape?
Every stone is different, I don't know where to get one that is very similar to this. But you can do this tutorial with any square stone, can be a little bit bigger or smaller. Try searching for "square labradorite cabochon" on etsy and you should find some that will work
Wow this is good crafmanship...l don't think l can make this..may l ask is it easy to learn up this trade..
I m from Malaysia.
Thank you
.
I love it...thanx.
What size is the stone you use in this video? I have a square lepidolite cab I'd like to try it with, but it's quite large and I'm not sure how long to make my square wires. Thank you and I love your videos!
just a tiny bit less than an inch, you could alway add an inch or two to your wire length if you are worried about them being too short
Lindo
Thank You for that video. How do you keep your straight wire so perfect!? From the start? Do you have any tools to help for that? I just notice on all your videos that starting out your wires are always perfect. Maybe a stupid question but I would please love to hear your answer. You are great, as always I learn so much from you!! 🌞🌻
I use a cloth and run the wire through it to straighten, I have a video demonstration of this if you are interested
@@OxanaCrafts Thank You. I do this also but yours always seem so much better than mine. I suppose it takes time. You make all things look easy. Thanks for replying 🌻
How do you not destroy your nails? Ive tried to use my nail to pick up the wire and it rips them.
Very beautiful 💙 Can You Pls tell me the size of this square cabochon? Is the 1 inch or smaller ? Thank you 🙏
It is just the tiniest bit smaller than an inch
@@OxanaCrafts thank you so much 🥰
Have You Done a tutorial about how to wrap a round stone /sphere marble approx 15 mm ? I have been searching on your chanel without luck , I’m interested to wrap aqua angel spheres that are not covered like a cage but more like a pendant with a dual stone dangle , the sphere in center like a cabochon and a small teardrop faceted crystal 9-12 mm hanging similar to the video you did with dual stone dangle but I don’t know how to wrap the sphere stone like that🤦🏻♀️😅
cool. i struggle with flat wire, it doesn't behave the way i want it to.
I've been sitting on a purple yellow flash labradorite for a year now and it just so happens it's the same size as the one in this video. I think I know what's going to happen to that little guy ❤️🤘🙏
BTW, when you coil the half round wire around the two square wires for the bail, about how long is that? It looks like it's just a little bit past an inch in measurement.
It is probably about an inch, but you could do more or less depending if you want a smaller or bigger bail
Do you recycle your copper scrap pieces? I know I’m the states there are places that buy the scraps back and melt them down.
You can also "re-use them by making chain links
@@OxanaCrafts I do that with the bigger pieces but fir the smaller ones or ones you cut off because you don’t like that piece….
Hi Oxana, love your videos! Can you tell me more about the wire you use? I know it is square copper dead soft, but is it silver plated? It looks silver in the videos to me. When I looked on the website it looked copper colored. Thanks for your help
It is solid copper, maybe it us just light reflection making it look silver. But I do also use solid sterling silver in same size if I want to create a silver version
@@OxanaCrafts Thank you!
We have been on lockdown, login, lockout, like a year. It is so terrible here in the USA not many cases of the virus it's just we're told to stay indoors.
My parents are in US, they are in MA. Hopefully soon I'll finally be able to see them, but as of right now not allowed to.
@@OxanaCrafts it's a shame. If one here goes into hospital sick, they are not allowed any visitors.
Is the half round wire dead soft or half hard?
dead soft
👍❤️
Is 20 gauge soft wire strong enough to hold its shape?
I haven't had problems. I mean it's not the kind of jewelry you can handle roughly, but treated with care it will be just fine
Where do you get gems from and when u get the wire does it come in small pieces and have to buy piece by piece individually or comes in what you got yours in
This stoned is from a seller on Instagram called cabochons4sale, the wire comes on big spool and I have to cut the pieces, the wire is from riogrande.com
Wow..👏👏👍👍❤️❤️
