What can you do with jump rings? Nowadays even if jump rings are minor components for jewelry making, sometimes they can also be the major role in jewelry projects. Like this time, jump rings are going to be used to make wire wrapped jewelry: a piece of flower chain necklace.

If you haven’t done with just jump rings, one kind of material, to make a piece of jewelry. Why not come and join us. You see this project about how to make wrapped jewelry is just for you.

Before you start to practice, please prepare the following materials:

Size 18 wires, Chain nose plier and round nose plier, Side flush cutter

Knitting needles, Jeweler file

Now start the project: how to make wire wrapped jewelry:

Step 1: connect jump rings

Insert one jump ring into another; make the two rings connected with each other. The shape is like a number 8.

Step 2: add another jump ring

Fetch the third one, and thread it through the other two; so make the three rings combined together. Each two has the point connected. This time the shape is like a three -leaves cloverleaf.

Step 3: connect more rings together

Get more jump rings together. Add each one to the previously formed cloverleaf as previous step shows: continue to thread a ring to the group and make the connections as many as you need. However, I suggest for one group, not to add too many jump rings. Otherwise it will look messy. Only if the shape of flower forms, you can finish the project about how to make wire wrapped jewelry.

Moreover, I have another advice: if you want the flower group to be the pendant for the wire wrapped jewelry, you can only make one and use a black cord or other leather braided thread to be chain; however, if you would like to the chain necklace without any pendant, you can make as many as possible the flower group (three jump rings group is perfect) and hook them together, then the flower chain will be done.

Such kind of jump rings necklace never looks like the common wire wrapped jewelry, doesn’t it? There is no copper wire, brass wire or any other metal wire is used. But it is indeed belonging to the wire wrapped kind, a very neat and special one, which has the luster of silver. Till here how to make wire wrapped jewelry is completed.
