Lan Anh Handmade | Making prong ring with faceted stone | easy DIY jewelry with wire 1047 @LanAnhHandmade | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I often use the rose twist technique when I want to finish the wire and create a motifs.
For this design, because there are two roses, I used an 8mm stone instead of a 6mm so that the stone is not too small compared to the rest.
If you still want to use a 6mm stone, just twist it into a small circle.

You can use any wire you have. Large diameter wire will be more difficult to manipulate, but will increase the rigidity of the product
You can do the same with other stone shapes

materials I used :
Stone : 8mm ( diamond faceted shape )
Soft copper wire :
20 gauge ( wire diameter 0.8mm ) : 25cm ( 10 inch)
22 gauge ( wire diameter 0.6mm ) : 2 x 15cm ( 6 inch)

*** 22 gauge ( wire diameter 0.6mm ) has 3 uses:
- easily create 4 prongs to hold the stone
- loop 4 wires to create a hole in the middle, helping the stone stay in the right position
- Loop 4 wires outward to help the 4 prongs be secure. And finish with 2 roses, creating a highlight
