Wire Wrapping Tutorial- How To Wrap a Rectangle/Square Stone

In this video I wrap a rectangle shaped cabochon in a cage style wrap using square and half round wire. This design would also work with square stones as well!
I think of this style as an "old school" style and when I first learned to wire wrap I used square and half round wire for most of my wraps.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and incorporate the techniques into your designs!

    Thanks for this design and and for not editing out the struggles to make this piece. It's reassuring for us novices to know that even the most experienced have 'redos' along the way and its a good lesson in patience.

    Beautiful finished work. I have difficulty working with square wire as far as bending a group of them . But I see your technique especially with weaving the half wire which I end up getting confused on which side is flat. I'm a hot mess. But determined to learn and do better. I really appreciate you style of teaching.❤❤❤

    It's a clean and simple wrap especially for those who like the minimal look. I Know Myself and I think I speak for a quite a few others that we really appreciate the time and effort you put into your tutorials. I love your helpful suggestions. It's really not easy to wrap squares or rectangular shapes. I just muddled through a really difficult top to back drilled rectangular tiger's eye. And at the end of my frustrations. I had to throw two framed work designs because I couldn't quite cage it properly😢

    Hi! Thanks for commenting! I’m attracted to stones that have a brilliant flash such as labradorite, rainbow moonstone and the stone in this video is pietersite. Every stone is unique. Pietersite, I feel, is calming. It’s supposed to be a protective stone. 💜

    Besides the price difference, dead soft sterling is a little more springy than copper. It takes a little getting used to!

    Round wire is hard to use with half round wire. They shift around too much. Better to use a weaving pattern with round wire if that makes sense.
