How I Made My Silver Plated Wire Wrapped Coiled Ring

The Finished Silver Plated Wire Wrapped Coiled Ring

1. I started off by hammering flat some 14 gauge Silver plated wire
2. Then I hammered a pattern on to the flattened wire
3. The finished hammered pattern on the wire
4. I made the coiled ring shape by wrapping the flattened wire around a wooden mandrel
5. The finished coiled ring shape
6. Then I add the finishing touches to the ring by adding a final wrapped piece of wire on the middle of the coiled ring shape
   

I have some new rings I'm about to unveil in my Etsy shop but I thought it might interest some of you to see how I made one of those rings. This is not a tutorial as such but just an overview of what I did to make my finished design with some pictures of the different stages and then pictures of the finished ring.

What Colour Jewellery Do You Wear?

Ladies I'm hoping you will be able to help me out. I'm trying to conduct a small survey to find out what colour jewellery you all like to buy and wear.

To participate please post a comment and include the answers to the following questions:

1.) Which do you prefer to wear or do you wear the most - Silver or Gold plated jewellery?

2.) Do you buy and wear sterling silver jewellery yourself and/or do you wear and buy sterling silver jewellery for your loved ones?

3.) What colour beads and stones do you like on your jewellery?

You don't have to answer all 3 questions but I would be grateful if you did.
Thank you all in advance for your participation.

I've Been Busy

Sorry for my week long absence! Me and the boys had a nasty bout of a stomach virus but we're on the mend now.
Before I got sick I was a busy bee making a new batch of earrings and a lovely wire rose pendant which had been in the planning stages for ages. Some of the items are available in my Etsy shop already but I will be listing the rest this weekend.
