Artistic Wire® Connector Diamond Jig


Instructions

Step 1
Step 1

Place the end of wire (20-24 gauge) 6 inches (15cm) in length across findings form as shown, tail should only be a few mm off the form.

Step 2
Image

Wrap the wire (counterclockwise) around the single peg at the top, while holding the tale with your non dominant hand, then on to the next peg (counterclockwise).

Step 3
Image

Continue to take a single revolution with the wire around each of the pegs (counterclockwise).

Step 4
Image

Once all pegs are wrapped, wrap another ring onto the single peg.

Step 5
Image

Use the included pusher tool to push the design all the way down to the surface of the finding form.

Step 6
Image

Remove the connector from the form. Separate the two top rings and cut one of the "tail" wires off keeping a complete round shape.

Step 7
Image

Cut the other loop.

Step 8
Image

Grasp one of the round shape wires and twist it 90 degrees so that the ring is sideways, do the same on the other side for a mirror image. Connect these two round shape wires to a jumpring, earwire, or use as a bail, then connect the items to dangle from the 5 rings.


Alternative design: At step 2 omit the second and fourth pegs for a 3 ring dangle.


Note: Some people prefer to turn the findings form instead of wrapping the wire around the pegs.
