One of my artistic New Year Resolution was to create something, small and original as well as suitable as an all purpose gift at an affordable price for future craft events.

Not sure if this is the final answer, but I learned wire weaving and made this yesterday:

Cardinal Red Anniversary Ring: Five Swarovski Crystals Lined Up on a Feminine BandCardinal Red Anniversary Ring: Five Swarovski Crystals Lined Up on a Feminine Band

It's a simple technique, and I'm swimming with ideas.  For rings, the issue is using better wire (the above is gold colored craft wire).  Sterling or gold filled, or possibly copper or stainless, is more practical (but more expensive) for rings.

Watch here for interesting wire weave project coming soon!

Side View Wire Weave

Here is another photo of the wire weave.

I like adding interest instead of the many lines of wire.
