You can do that Sheena, but you could also simply lay the wires side by side and solder them together to make a corrugated strip. The solder which is hard, will give you a strong shank
Personally, I always have some vermiculite soldering board around, so as to stick in a few pins to stop the wires wandering. The pins are pushed firmly in and then bent over the wires to keep them flat. Without that the wires sometimes clump together, due to the tension of the molten solder.
The soldering side becomes the inside when bent up, because it tends to be less neat.
Below is the shank of a ring made in this way. Dennis.
Thanks Dennis, I thought there must be another way, but I had a total eclipse of the brain and couldn't think what. I'll give it a go.
Your ring looks superb. I'd love to see the front
I wasn't expecting the shamrocks. More exciting than flowers I love the way you've looped the stems
