Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by cutting off about six inches of 20 gauge wire. Make a simple wire loop at one end. Bend it around the mandrel with the loop laying flat against the mandrel.
2. Cross over the wire and trim the wire, leaving just under a half inch to make another simple wire loop curling the opposite direction (please see photo for reference).
3. Once you have the base of the ring, cut off about 12 inches of the 26 gauge wire. Wrap 5 times around the 20 gauge wire. String on one pearl, and take the wire and make 5 more wraps around the other side of the ring, bringing it together. Trim any excess wire.
