How to Make a Ring with a Top Drilled Briolette or Crystal by Denise Mathew

If you want to fast forward past the intro where I show pictures of past and future projects advance to 0:59
I love briolettes and I try to incorporate them in as many projects as I can so this ring project seemed a perfect fit. I really like this base ring because I think that it can be used in many different ways that I will continue to discover the more I play with it. I would suggest that before you start any tutorial you watch it all the way through at least once so you can get a good feel for the project before you begin.

For the finished ring in the tutorial I used a 8 x10mm and 4mm wide multifaceted prasiolite briolette and 7 inches of 20 gauge gold wire and about 1 foot of 26 gauge gold wire for a size 8 ring. For the other project I used a 6x4mm multifaceted garnet briolette and 7 inches of 20 gauge gold wire and 1 1/2 feet of 26 gauge gold wire for a size 8 ring. For another ring I used a swirl cut smokey topaz 8x10mm briolette that was 3mm wide, 7 inches of 18 gauge silver wire and 1 1/2 feet of 26 gauge silver wire for a size 8 ring. For the last ring I used a 10 mm yellow top drilled swarovski bicone crystal , 7 inches of 18 gauge silver wire and 1 1/2 feet of 26 gauge silver wire. 18-22 gauge wire is a good size for the base of the ring so its not flimsy and anywhere from 24-28 gauge wire will work for the top, or whatever gauge fits through your beads.
