Cut 5 pieces of 5 inches of 18ga square wire to make a size 6 ring. Add another inch for each size up. Cut 5 inches of 21ga half round wire, curve the wire by hand so the rounded side is up. Wrap the 21ga wire four times around the square wire with the coils beside each other. Flatten out the wire with pliers. Trim the ends. Slide the coils down so there is an inch of wire at the end. Do the same thing on the other end.

Add a Potomac crystal bicone to the center wire. Cut the wire down to the coils and use pliers to make a tiny coil in the end. Hide the end in the large swirls.
