Aside from Chainmaille, Egyptian coil is one of the wire work techniques in jewelry making that I admire. It’s not that difficult to make and with only around, I think, seven simple steps, you’ll be able to create beautiful pieces.
Here's an earring using Egyptian Coil Technique from Wellspring Creations.
It's a simple one, that even without embellishment or some sort, just the coil itself, already looks beautiful.
You can also add charms or beads to add character like this Egyptian Coil & Turquoise Earrings from All A Glow Jewelry
...and creating Egyptian links, you'll be able to create a necklace or a bracelet like this shimmery bracelet from CatinaLife Creations.
What a beauty...can't help but admire these beauties. I think Egyptian Coil is a versatile wire work jewelry technique and I would love to include it in my list of favorite jewelry techniques. ^_^
And to help everyone with this technique, I found a free tutorial created by Marie of Marie Cristine blog. She has created an easy step by step instructions. And as I've mentioned earlier, with only seven simple steps you'll be able to master it.
So, get ready with your round nose pliers and your wire, and find out more with this
free tutorial from Marie.
Here's an added bonus!!! For your Egyptian Coil bracelet, you can finish it off by making an Egyptian Clasp. Learn how to with Kate Drew-Wilkinson at DIYLessons. Click the links for
