- Welcome, everyone! Get ready to be inspired by this exciting video! In this tutorial, we explore the art of traditional Banded Bezel frames while putting a modern twist on the design. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refresh your wire handling skills, this video is perfect for you.
In the beginning of the video, you'll find the tools and material list, as always. Additionally, I've provided timestamps and a list of supplies below for your convenience. Feel free to reach out if you need any assistance throughout the process. And don't forget to share a picture with me if you create your own masterpiece-I'd love to see it! You can find my social media links below.
This month, we're focusing on returning to the basics and learning wire handling techniques. We'll begin by demonstrating how to capture a beautiful stone using the Banded Bezel frame. Then, we'll guide you through drawing wires down into a unique design. If you want to add some texture, we'll even show you how to hammer the wires (this step is optional). Lastly, we'll introduce new design ideas that incorporate these wires.
To provide you with more inspiration, I'll be showcasing a few BACK TO BASIC wire wrap frames using different shaped cabochons. This way, you can see how to wrap and design around various shapes. Get ready to have fun and let your creativity shine!

Back to Basics My Apatite WIRE WRAPPED Pendant TUTORIAL - Great for beginners! Step by Step - Jak na to + styl
Thank you. I knew how to do the basic wrap, but you ave given me the tools to take this type of wrap to the next level. You are softly spoken, patient, and very slow, giving the viewer time to see exactly what is going on, and to fully understand the methods, and how you are manipulating the wire. You are a wonderful teacher, and I applaud you for taking time out to help others to share your amazing design and talent. A million thank tous , bravo !

Giving the tips were to hold the wire n chab, bend the wire, how to position our jewelry. There’s so much you give and US KNOWING we can ACCOMPLISH THIS ALSO. Thank you so much, Connie T.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that you are here! 💜🙏
Opps, i lost my message. Apologies.
This is the most beautiful cabochon necklaces I have seen on youtube n Pinterest. ❤ wow. Cant wait to try. Connie.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I didn’t have to take my computer apart but holding the button down worked. I had a major deadline and this video saved me!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent! Thank you!
I like the fact that you are thinking out loud as you create and taking your time experamenting as you go explaining what and why you are doing it.
Thanks so much, Deb! I'm so glad my 'talking out loud' helps you, I think it's good to know why I might or might not do a move, or how I might recover from one if it's not what I wanted... it's what's real in wire wrapping! ;)
I appreciate you watching!
Hello lovely. Thank you very much for the video! For us the beginners is very helpful because the video is combined with the explanations.
Amazing wrap. Thank you very much once again!!!

Wire is so much fun. I personally am not fond of highly textured pieces. I like simple, classic beauty with the gemstone being the star. This is a very fluid, elegant wrap!
Thank you so much! I agree, wire is a ton of fun!

Thank you for showing how the board actually can help. I wondered why people used them
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful to you.
A gorgeous pendant and who would know that this is a beginners piece?! That bead just finishes it off and covers the 'hole' beautifully, hiding those wire behind. Love it ! Thank you so much for sharing all your expertise! It is much appreciated! 💕

Thanks you for all you do for us amateurs! May I ask where you got your pad to at has the grid? I think that would help me a lot! Many thanks again, you are a wonderful artist and teacher!
Thanks,, Kathleen! You can get the Cricut boards everywhere, either in craft or sewing stores or online even.
Ijust ❤ your tutorials n learn so much. When i hammer my wire softly ( I believe or else won’t flatten) n pull down but still get nicks on the other side. What do you think I’m doing wrong???? Practice or put a hard book cover in between to start. Do you have a tutorial for it. You explain everything. Connie❤
If I'm reading this right... you're getting nics on the opposite side that you're hammering? "... but still get nicks on the other side...." if this is so, and the nicks are not on your hammered side, then it's your bench block... if it's pitted or if it has debris on it, the underside of the metal can definitely get scared as well. I've never tried anything between my hammer and the metal, I feel you'll get texture on the metal if you're hammering over towels or cardboard anyway... but again, I've not tried that. Please try to tell me a bit more detail Connie, thank you!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry i do have scratches on my block. I did just get an adrenal. I’ll research more on how to use to flatten your wire with it. That should be okay wouldn’t you think so? I want to invest in some good quality tools, rock tumbler n how many yards or ft. is a pound or the rio granda wire you use. ?
That is a beautiful frame Izzy. A video I would like to see or open for discussion: which stones are too soft to patina (darken the wire). I have a couple of opals and amber and I am afraid to patina the wire around them.
I am cannot wait to try making this bezel. :)
Thanks again, Genni! I have both opals and ambers... if you can wait, I can make a video using my material to make sure you don't ruin yours. I've done it before, but I don't dip the pendant, I use a small brush and paint the LOS solution onto the wires.... that's the easy part. The harder part is polishing them out without scratching your very soft amber or opal. Let me give this better thought on how to show us what I do. I hope that at least helps for now. Thanks again!
Awesome! Thank you. The softer stones tend to make me consider more care and thought on how to frame these beauties. I so appreciate your input! ❤
Okay Genni, I am making a tutorial with a sterling silver and ethiopian opal... this is the one where I show you how to frame it so you can patina, polish and then put the stone back in. You'd do an Amber the same way. It'll be up by Sunday at the latest. 💞

Hi there, I am just starting to wire weave and wondered if you have a list of wire types/sizes that I should start with? Also, how do you sell your jewelry creations?
Hi thanks for watching, Aleita... regarding what wire types/sizes to start with... really depends on what type of wire wrap jewelry you want to create. If you are working my patterns, then I use 18 gauge, 20 gauge for many frames, both round and square wires, I use only Dead Soft wires, for weaving I like to use 28g and sometimes 26g, for ties, I like to use 22g half round wire many times... you should start perhaps, with figuring out what style you like best, dainty, big jewelry, hammered and layered, weaving?? This makes a difference as to what and how much wire you keep onhand. Regarding selling it... many of us sell online, at shows, through private customers, or all of the above most of the time. Hope that helps! Enjoy!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry Thanks so much 🌹
can you use roubd wire if you dont have square?
Yes you can, round wire works too, thank you for watching! Enjoy!
Too busy….. for me….but good instruction
Thanks for watching, Deborah!
