    Default The Wire Puzzle.

    In my thread about the Russian wedding ring, http://www.cooksongold.com/forum/tut...ssia-love.html I showed the three different bands intertwined after soldering. If you lay them out in front of you, they can be formed into various shapes, rather like a wire puzzle.

    Here I have used triangular wire for a change, and arranged it around the bezel for a large moonstone cabochon, so as to make a pendant. Behind is a piece of curved tubing to serve as a bail and instead of chain I have used thin silver cable finished with home-made snake ends. On the wearer’s right is a simple hook and on the left an extension chain, ending in two pear shaped drops, set back to back.

    The ear studs and ring are to complete the set

    It’s fun. Feel free to try your own variation. Dennis.

    Lovely! I was a bit put off by my one attempt so far at setting I really must try again!
