You’ll need:
2-3 inches 18-gauge round wire
2-3 inches 22-28-gauge round wire
1-13x4mm Hematite tube bead or 1 - 6mm bead
Wire cutters
Round-nosed pliers
Jeweler's file
Chain-nosed pliers
Raw hide hammer
Ring mandrel
Note about Sizing:
To make a size 5 ring, I used 2 inches of wire when I made the copper and hematite ring pictured. However, this will vary depending on the size of your beads. For the green ring which is a size 8, I used almost 3 inches of wire, but my bead was shorter than the hematite tube I used in the first ring. Play around with it, and remember that the wire isn’t going completely around a finger since a bead is added in the center. In other words, the amount of wire you need and the ring since will have to be adjusted depending on the size of the bead to a certain extent.
