~Crystal Dreams~

Newest submission for Connie Crystal Design Team!
As most of you know I LOVE sparkly things!! Here is a new design created with Connie Crystal crystals.
In this new design I used a brass filigree connector from Beadaholique ,26 gauge vintage brass wire,a round brass filigree piece and a Connie Crystal  octagon crystal 8-10mm. To begin,  use a ring mandrel and wrap the brass filagree connector around the mandrel and bend to your size. Then form the round filigree shape around the crystal creating a "cocoon" for the crystal. Center the crystal / filigree onto the ring and secure with the 26 gauge wire pulling through the crystal/filigree to the the ring band ,and weave back and forth to create a secure connection. There you have it... a very fun and easy Vintage style ring!!
In Love & Light
