I find this ring most beautiful, it is braid from five strands of two silver wires each and the beads are attached at the ends.
Simply yet striking.
Is seems that it looks also wonderful if braided from copper wire – there was some copper wire laying around here somewhere…
;-)
By the way the braiding with five strands doesn’t seem to be very difficult.

I absolutely adore this ring! I know this is an older entry, but if anyone is still monitoring this thread, I wonder if anyone knows if those are seed beads, or what size beads they are? Would love to find a tutorial for this ring!
Wendi,
as for the instruction for the braiding, Lothruin (who started the thread) gave a description on how-to.
She also mentioned somewhere there what wire she used.
As for the beads, I’d say the most important point is that the wire gets through the holes, don’t you think?
Enjoy experimenting!
