PREVIEW New Tutorial - Ring "O" Studs

Guess I pre-announce the publication of my next tutorial first.
The idea for this design came quite unexpectedly. The plan was I wanted to try out the bird's nest pendant but idea struck midway and I created this Ring O Studs. Funny name ya?
Do you have suggestions for a better name? I am very bad with naming my jewelry.

A Very Sparkly Lolly - Wire Wrapped Sparkly Crystal Rings

Looks yummy?! Those are the 48 sparkly crystal rings I completed today. Made with gold filled wire, pearls, and Swarovski Crystals. Took about 6 hours to complete them. Racing against time :) Someone once mentioned to me that she can make them with eyes close :) I have made lots of them but still with eyes wide open :) Maybe need glasses later...its coming, the old age factor. Enjoy the sparklies. A bunch of Wire Wrapped Sparkly Crystal RingsWire Wrapped Sparkly Crystal Rings WireBlissMei
