Gather a mandrel, wire (22 gauge recommended), and beads.
Cut approximately 10 inches of wire and thread your chosen beads onto the center.
Bend the wire at the bead's base and place it on the mandrel at the desired ring size.
Wrap the wire around the mandrel, ensuring one band is above the other.
Cross the wires at the front, making a box to secure the beads, and wrap around to the original position.
Trim the wire ends to about a half-inch and thread them through the band to secure the ring.
Make final adjustments on the mandrel for sizing and complete any additional wraps for decoration.
