Well, I did it! I took the plunge and made my first sterling silver wire braided ring. This time I used 10 wires instead of 6 wires to make a fuller band. I think that the more wires you’re working with the more any tiny flaws are going to show up. I am happy with the way it turned out though … and fortunately I was able to make it a perfect fit for ME! 🙂
In case you missed it, and you’d like to see it, I have pictures of my first attempt at wire braider (six wires in copper) here: First Braided Wire Ring.

Yay! Looks wonderful.
Thanks Cindi! 🙂
It’s stunning. And what is so cool about it is that it’s equally suitable for men and woman. Perfect wedding bands!.
Thank you Cleo – and yes, wedding bands! I keep thinking that too. 🙂
Delia….it turned out sublime….congrats! I also really like the thicker braid….and again i love the braiding.
Thank you Sue. I like the thicker braid too. Now I’m wondering how many wires it would take to make a full bracelet!?
Do you do tutorials? Pls i would, love it….mabye a ring or a bracelet tutorial…please
Hi Teryn,
Yes, I do have tutorials available for sale but I don’t have any on the weave used in this ring at the moment. Perhaps one day I can add some textile weave tuts like this to the list. Meanwhile, check out my tutorial page on this website to see what I have available. Thanks for asking!
Thx for the answer.
can you email me when you have a tutorial? welder556@gmail.com
There is a free tutorial somewhere out there for this technique. I think it was on a website called something like wire wimsey or whimsy. It seems like they spelled it differently than the proper spelling.
