Like Deb mentioned there are great step by step instructions in All The Best. The only thing I remember ever seeing typed up was an explanation from Ann that was something like 'place the crescent roll triangles with wide sides inwards and points hanging over the outside edge of the stone at the positions of the clock of 12, 3, 6 and 9. Then add the remaining 4 triangles in between the first four. Put your filling on the crescent rolls, spread evenly and then pull the points up and over the filling towards the centre of the stone, tucking the points under'.
She says it much better but I hope that helps some.

,Thank you for reaching out! I have a few suggestions for how to make a ring that you can share with your customers. First, gather all the necessary tools and materials such as pliers, wire cutters, beads, and wire. Then, follow these simple steps:1. Measure the wire to the desired length for the ring, leaving about an extra inch on each end.
2. Use the pliers to create a small loop at one end of the wire.
3. Thread the beads onto the wire, leaving enough space for the ring to fit comfortably on the finger.
4. Once all the beads are on, use the pliers to create another loop at the other end of the wire, securing the beads in place.
5. Adjust the loops to ensure they are both facing the same direction and are the desired size for the ring.
6. Use the wire cutters to trim any excess wire.
7. Use the pliers to shape the loops into a circular shape, creating the ring.
8. Gently adjust the beads to evenly distribute them around the ring.
9. Your ring is now ready to wear or gift!I hope these instructions are helpful for you and your customers. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist you with. Happy crafting!

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do I need to make a beaded wire ring?
To make a beaded wire ring, you will need the following materials: jewelry wire (preferably 20-24 gauge), beads of your choice, wire cutters, round-nose pliers, and a ring mandrel or a cylindrical object to shape the ring around.
How do I measure my finger for the ring size?
To measure your finger for the ring size, you can use a ring sizer or a piece of string. Wrap the string around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, and then measure the length with a ruler. Compare this measurement to a ring size chart to find your size.
What is the best technique for wrapping the wire around the beads?
The best technique for wrapping the wire around the beads is to start by threading the beads onto the wire, leaving a tail for wrapping. Then, use your round-nose pliers to create a loop at one end of the wire. Wrap the wire around the beads tightly, ensuring they are secure, and finish by creating another loop at the end to hold everything in place.
Can I use different types of beads for my wire ring?
Yes, you can use different types of beads for your wire ring! You can mix and match materials such as glass, wood, metal, or plastic beads. Just ensure that the hole size is appropriate for the wire you are using, and that the beads are not too heavy for the wire to support.
How do I finish the ring to ensure it stays intact?
To finish the ring and ensure it stays intact, trim any excess wire after wrapping the beads. Use your round-nose pliers to create a small loop at the end of the wire to prevent the beads from slipping off. Finally, gently squeeze the loops to secure them tightly, and check for any sharp edges that may need to be tucked in or smoothed out.
