Wire Wrapped and Handforged Rings - My first attempt in Copper and Gold Filled

I have finally bought ring mandrel! Yay :) So here are my first attempts at making wire wrapped rings. The first one is classical spiral ring in Gold Filled.


The second one is an improvisation of the spiral ring. I tried to make a Rose in copper :)


The third one is a very simple adjustable triple band men's ring in Gold Filled. The ring has been hammered for texture.


I've also made a couple of rings that are more complicated and have Gemstones incorporated in them. I'll be posting pictures here very soon :) So stay tuned...

    Lovely job. I've tried rings and just don't seem to have the knack. I'd love to see the ones with stones.

    Lovely! I got a mandrel a few months ago, and I wanted to try some rings like this. I don't think mine would be this good at the first attempt though.

    I especially like the copper rose, I think it came out very well. I'll have to check back and see what you do with gemstones.
