Hi! I am Yanxia from <a href="http://misluo.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Misluo</a> and I am so excited to be here today to show you how to make the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/58241916/rosie-sterling-sterling-wirewrapped-ring" target="_blank">Wire Wrapped Rose Ring</a> with some basic tools. These rose rings are favored from all ages, so I believe it will be a great idea to make a rose ring for your family or friends as a Christmas gift.
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zirXaewxS1c/UjzdXzoX2OI/AAAAAAAAAe8/fBfHn6qA0zs/s1600/RoseRingTutorial2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zirXaewxS1c/UjzdXzoX2OI/AAAAAAAAAe8/fBfHn6qA0zs/s1600/RoseRingTutorial2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Materials & tools needed:</strong></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">18-gauge <span style="text-decoration: underline;">dead soft</span> wire (copper, silver or gold-filled); 20 inches is good for making a ring from size 6-size 8. You will need 1-2 inches more for larger sizes. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Ring mandrel (I use a sharpie in this tutorial, which is easy to work with)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Cutter</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Chain nose pliers</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">A fine file (nail file will do)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<strong>Decide the size:</strong></div>
<div>
First of all, you need decide which size you want to make. You may use <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Materials%20&%20tools%20needed:%2020%20inches%20of%2018-gauge%20wire%20(dead%20soft)%20Ring%20mandrel%20(Or%20something%20like%20a%20thick%20sharpie%20as%20your%20size)%20Cutter%20Chain%20nose%20pliers%20A%20small%20file%20(nail%20file%20will%20do)%20%20First%20of%20all,%20you%20need%20decide%20which%20size%20you%20want%20to%20make.%20You%20may%20use%20this%20instruction%20(http://www.crucible.org/ring_sizes.htm)%20to%20find%20out%20your%20ring%20size.">this instruction</a> to find out your ring size. Choose something as mandrel one size larger than the intended size because the shank will shrunk smaller while wrapping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-te-2lnL5-3g/UjzdlreMc_I/AAAAAAAAAfE/fm2i0nHPScg/s1600/RoseRingTutorial3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-te-2lnL5-3g/UjzdlreMc_I/AAAAAAAAAfE/fm2i0nHPScg/s1600/RoseRingTutorial3.jpg" /></a></div>
<strong>Let's start:</strong>
Hold the center of the wire against the sharpie and wrap each wire end one time around the sharpie. It should look like this (above).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_-pJ3djpdU/UjzdxlR73RI/AAAAAAAAAfM/ZYrBUk3VO_4/s1600/RoseRingTutorial4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_-pJ3djpdU/UjzdxlR73RI/AAAAAAAAAfM/ZYrBUk3VO_4/s1600/RoseRingTutorial4.jpg" /></a></div>
Twist the two wire ends together. I twist it by hands as the dead soft wire is easy to bend. You can use the pliers if you feel hard by hands. And... keep going to twist the wires around the center point. You need cross the two wires sometime while twisting to create a tree-dimensional rose.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--WMBQLHKBRU/UjzeBW2WixI/AAAAAAAAAfU/dl-CmvgQYMo/s1600/RoseRingTutorial5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--WMBQLHKBRU/UjzeBW2WixI/AAAAAAAAAfU/dl-CmvgQYMo/s1600/RoseRingTutorial5.jpg" /></a></div>
Leave about half inch wire at each end. You can cut the wire short if it's longer than you need. Now take the ring out from the sharpie and use the file to remove any sharp edges on the wire ends. Run your finger gently around the end to see if it's smooth enough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OFoYtfqkDXE/UjzePXJIUcI/AAAAAAAAAfc/EmlTarBFGmQ/s1600/RoseRingTutorial6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OFoYtfqkDXE/UjzePXJIUcI/AAAAAAAAAfc/EmlTarBFGmQ/s1600/RoseRingTutorial6.jpg" /></a></div>
Use the pliers wrap the wire ends on the side around the shank tightly. Try to hide the wire ends under the rose possible.
This pliers in the photo may mark your ring. Here I have two options for you. You can use some taps wrap the tip of the pliers to minimize the marks. Or, you can use a jewelry file and fine sanding papers to remove the marks. I would take the first one because it's easy and the second one need a lot work to do and you run a risk to get a lot new marks if you don't have the right tools. Actually, most of us don't mind some tiny marks around this beautiful rose. One of my customer told me it will "make the rose look more real and unique", she brought the ring at the summer market in Rimini Italy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gnTpvhn9Xos/Ujzeb8mgPlI/AAAAAAAAAfk/j-4jc4FO6D8/s1600/RoesRingTutorial7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gnTpvhn9Xos/Ujzeb8mgPlI/AAAAAAAAAfk/j-4jc4FO6D8/s1600/RoesRingTutorial7.jpg" /></a></div>
By now you should have a pretty rose ring, right? If you have any questions, just ask :)

2012 is a very special year for me, did a lot new things, visited a few new places and met many new people, of course made some new friends online and offline. Here is a quick list about my year 2012:
-I married to a lovely Italian man Gio in Rijswijk ( Netherlands) last Jan.
<img alt="Wedding" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-934" src="http://misluo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Wedding.jpg" height="467" width="700" />
-A short break in Sharm
<img alt="sharm" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-931" src="http://misluo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/sharm.jpg" height="525" width="700" />
-Resided to Rimini, Italy. We visited his family and friends in Bologna, Venice and Padua. Discovered some other beautiful city like Florence, Bergamo, Milan and San Marino... And...in Alpe di Siusi, I ski for the very first time in my life.
<img alt="2012 Italian cities" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-930" src="http://misluo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/places.jpg" height="467" width="700" />
-Set up my home studio and re-open my Etsy shop in April.

-I learned some experience on the summer market and got a lot inspiration from my local customers.
<img alt="Summer Market" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-933" src="http://misluo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/summer-market.jpg" height="467" width="700" />

There is one thing I always want to learn and manage – bezel setting. This is the day I finally ready for it. Gathered all the tools and material I need last month and read all tips again before start, now let’s rock it…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.266666412353516px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
This dew ring design was inspired by one of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/gr3eenPhotography?ref=seller_info" style="border: 0px; color: #4fa7ff; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="gr3eenPhotography">gr3een Photography</a>’s fine art print – <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/68169612/rainfall-single-leaf-after-a-heavy-storm" style="border: 0px; color: #4fa7ff; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="rainfall">Rainfall</a>.</div>

The processing was started with a green Aventurine raindrop cabochon…</div>

After repeating solder, pickle, file, sanding and polish several times, finally ready to set the stone. I was surprised how much pressure I have to put on the setting. I can still hear the stone moving inside the bezel when I finished the setting on the late night. Then I spent another hour in the next morning, to push the bezel again and again for achieving the nice tight setting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.266666412353516px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Normally, the round and oval shape setting was suggested for beginners to start with. This dew ring was a big challenge for me and it took me about a day to finish, but I am happy about how I manage the whole processing and this beautiful dew ring I made. Also, I learned one thing in this raindrop setting. I should shape the bezel much lower on the point next time so the bezel will show the stone better.</div>

Doing local markets over a month now, there were a lot Italian customers asked me about the metals I used in my designs. So I thought it could be helpful for anyone when choosing metal jewelry to wear if I put some details and care information together.</div>

The metals used in my current designs are <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">14k Gold-filled</strong>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sterling Silver</strong>, <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Brass</strong> and <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Copper</strong>.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0.5em 0px 1.5em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">14k Gold-filled</strong> is 14ct gold bonded to brass and that 1/20th of the volume is gold and 19/20th’s are brass. It is much more durable than gold plating. Goldfilled items, even with daily wear, can last five to 30 years but will eventually wear through.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sterling Silver</strong> is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of copper. Sterling silver is going to tarnish when it is exposed in the air over time. Many things cause silver to tarnish, including wool, rubber latex, some perfumes, onions, eggs and the natural oils from our hands. According to my own experience, it tarnishes less when worn all the time than it does laying around.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Brass</strong> is an alloy that made of copper and zinc. The sheen of brass, golden appearance, can be very attractive. But it is very easy oxidation and changing colors. Many people will allergic to brass.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Copper</strong> is beautiful and malleable metal. It appears warm red color when it’s new and turns to brown-black copper oxide when exposed in the air. Normally, I don’ seal the metals with any chemical wax, so they will get a natural patina over time. Copper may cause allergic and turns skin green for some people depending on the body conditions.</li>

<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Against Tarnish</em></strong> (A tarnished piece doesn’t bother me much. I clean it or live with it.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
There are two ways to against tarnish, keeping your jewelry in anti-tarnish bag which you can find in most jewelry stores and having a piece of silver-polishing cotton handy. You can rub tarnished metals back to shine again with silver-polishing cotton.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Do <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">NOT</strong> use the silver-polishing cotton to oxidize silver jewelry(like the “following my heart” ring shown above), you will ruin the oxidization and change the style of the pieces. Normally, just leave the oxidized silver jewelry in warm water mixed with dish-washing liquid for about 15mins and dry it gently with soft towel. Don’t rub it, as it will remove the oxidization.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Good luck to find the metal you love.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
P.S. I love silver the most. And in Italy a lot of my customer in the local market adore to have a copper piece and they don’t mind about the green skin things. It can be wash off easily with soap.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16392824394487595128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9217373398178920026.post-62527904595411486092012-07-18T13:23:00.003+02:002012-12-13T12:50:07.522+01:00Misluo Roses<br />

Hi everyone,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
After 3 months away from Australia, I decide to move my blog from Blogspot to WordPress (<a href="http://misluo.com/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #4fa7ff; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">www.misluo.com</a>). The main reason was I can not access my blog on Blogspot when I visited my family in China,which was blocked from. Frankly, I didn’t put many efforts on blogging before, because… no excuses this time. I do love to share beautiful things I find and craft ideas I had which may inspire others. That’s why I am still here and making those “revolution” on my blog. I may not post on the <a href="http://missluojewelry.blogspot.com/">missluojewelry.blogspot.com</a> in the further.

I didn’t talk about myself at all in the last two years. It was hardest period in my life. Not a good time to talk about the story yet. Whatever, it is ok now, and will be better day after day. Time is the best for healing. Recently, I moved to Europe. Sure, I will update the new life experience here.</div>

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have used Recycled sterling silver for years, which I found in Australia local supplier, <a href="http://www.aemetal.com.au/">A&E metal</a>. Also, I saved the off-cut of sterling silver wires, thought they could be used into some projects later. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">One day, some ideas cross my mind, something like leaf or petal. Quickly, draw these ideas down. So I am going to make these following petal earrings today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AZjPAjvlvBo/Tf4WLq8INWI/AAAAAAAAAH4/OS1ktIyuQH4/s1600/IMG_5860.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AZjPAjvlvBo/Tf4WLq8INWI/AAAAAAAAAH4/OS1ktIyuQH4/s320/IMG_5860.JPG" width="294" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose 12 pieces sterling silver wire off-cut in similar length. Some of them are a bit old, but they are good enough to become a part of petal outlines. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2x07GjK9aMc/Tf4XzK-hZNI/AAAAAAAAAH8/EIon1waOaH0/s1600/IMG_5862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2x07GjK9aMc/Tf4XzK-hZNI/AAAAAAAAAH8/EIon1waOaH0/s320/IMG_5862.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And then, I curved the wires by hand and hammered to firm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D6ML_en6158/Tf4Y_A4jvqI/AAAAAAAAAIA/RCxF9sMLyCo/s1600/IMG_5869.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D6ML_en6158/Tf4Y_A4jvqI/AAAAAAAAAIA/RCxF9sMLyCo/s320/IMG_5869.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, time to solder them together. First, I close each petal in both end by solder. Then pickle them ready for solder second time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g06d7ASyGkA/Tf4ZxCnadcI/AAAAAAAAAIE/DAeqoeDaIC4/s1600/IMG_5877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g06d7ASyGkA/Tf4ZxCnadcI/AAAAAAAAAIE/DAeqoeDaIC4/s320/IMG_5877.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I use pins to hold these petal in position in order to have these pair joint in same way. Actually, it's not easy at all. I have to solider three times on the second piece to match the first one. Honestly, they are still not the same, but I take it this way, like the real world, every petal is unique, every handmade piece is unique. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These following petal earrings are unique, pretty. Just remember, these unique pretty petal earrings were born from the trash. We will make our planet beautiful and more beautiful if we care.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Here is a very easy way to do: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><ul><li>Using a string or piece of paper complete a circle around the bottom of your finger.</li>
<li>Using a pen mark the string or paper at the circles connection point</li>
<li>Measure the length of the string/paper from the top till the pen mark.</li>
<li>With this measurement refer to <a href="http://www.onlineconversion.com/ring_size.htm">www.onlineconversion.com/ring_size.htm</a> find out your size.</li>
</ul><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><b>Please note:</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><ul><li>Measure your finger later of the day since your fingers swell.</li>
<li>Measure your finger in the warm weather since your fingers swell in warm condition.</li>
<li>Measure 3 or 4 times to be sure.</li>
<li>You need to take the knuckle into consideration when sizing. In some cases the bottom of your finger may be smaller then your knuckle. Also take into consideration your knuckle size when purchasing a ring with a wider band which should be sized ½ -1 size larger.</li>
</ul><br />
