Cuff in Miniature
About this design:
The cuffs were so much fun, I decided to try it as a ring! What's really nice about this is that it is adjustable, without looking like those cheapo rings in Woolworth's!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thanks, Sunny, Karen, and Elaine!
I’m still thinking of putting stones in it, but can’t decide what kind of stones – 4 mm might be too large to wrap into it, but I have some 3′s – does anyone have thoughts? I have some salmon shaded coral I’m thinking about, but I have other stones as well (no surprise there…
)

Purple Chick aka Violet says:I don’t think mm is too big at all , I’d even go bigger…
Big is really in this season…. have you seen some of the rings the
celebraties are wearing and in the fashion mags?
I have made a few big rings, and they have sold fast !!!
Go for it girlfriend….!!!!!

Little Round Chick says:Great ring…is it a size 7 perchance? And just where is there a Woolworth’s in this day and age?

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sue, this is a beautiful ring design! Great idea with or without teensy (or not so teensy
) beads!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Thanks, Chickies!
Nancy, it is close to a size 7, but flexible enough to go to a 6-1/2 or an 8. And you are right – I don’t think there are any Woolworth’s left, but I sure miss them! Especially their soda fountain…REAL vanilla cokes…sigh!

Deb D Grammy Chick says:Oh yeah, I remember those vanilla Cokes, and root beer floats… I haven’t seen a Woolworth’s in years, but they sure were popular years ago! Sue, I love this design as a ring! Stones or no stones, I’ll bet these will sell like crazy!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:What a great adaptation! I love the adjustable sizing too! I can see this with czech glass or gemstones – wonderful either way!
LOL about Woolworths! I haven’t seen one of those in decades!

Jewelry by Shannon says:Ahhh, what a nice adjustable ring … either with or without stones is pretty! If you add stones, please post another pic for us to see.

Shannon, if I add stones to this one, I’ll definitely post the outcome!
