Those wire wrapped rings I made this week reminded me how many rings I've made in the past couple of years -- and how many have been based on a spiral design. It's amazing how one shape can yield so many different looks! Here are a few of my favorite wire wrapped spiral rings. You can find them all at Naomi's Designs or MayaGirl Creations:
One of the first shapes I taught myself how to make when learning how to make jewelry was a spiral. When making wire wrapped jewelry patterns, the spiral is essential. It not only looks really cool, but serves a purpose because a) spirals are strong and hold jewelry together well and b) helps you close off the end of the wire in an aesthetically pleasing way. You can do so much with a spiral, from making simple wire wrapped spiral earrings to elaborate spiral designs. When it comes to this one shape, I'm never at a loss for ideas! Here are some of my favorite wire wrapped spiral jewelry pieces:
