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!

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!!!

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.

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!!

Your birthday show was enlightening, fun and beautiful all rolled into one presentation.

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
