Instructions
Step 1
Materials and tools for this project are shown on this picture. I will use 17ga (1.25 mm) and 22ga (0.6 mm) wires. This stone is 12 mm. For your learning I recommend soft copper wire, however once you learn the technique, I recommend you to use half hard 22ga (0.6 mm) wire for the prong setting.

Step 2
Once the length of your ring band has been measured, we have to cut a base wire of the 17ga (1.25 mm) wire, which must be 3 cm longer than the length of your ring band. For example: I will make a ring size 8 (US size), which has a 6cm long ring band. My base wire should be 6+3 cm long, 9 cm exactly.

Step 3
Hold the right end of your base wire tight within the bottom of the round nose pliers, as shown on this picture.
