After making the simple double heart ring I really wanted to make a swirly double heart ring and here it is! hope you like it :)
Hold the wire from one end, Keep 6 cm of the wire straight on that end, Make a loop leaving the 6 cm of the wire straight, Circle the wire 2-3 times around that loop to create a swirl,
Make another loop adjacent to the previous swirl, by winding the wire in the opposite direction of the previous one, Again circle the wire around the loop 2-3 times to create another swirl.
Hold the straight parts of the wire from both sides together, Adjust the straight parts to make a heart shape, Coil the extra wire (6 cm) around the other straight part, cut off extra if needed, after coiling.
Now measure the straight part of the wire, including the swirly heart Mark the ring size on the wire, Make the next heart by bending the wire on the marked area. Remember that the ring size should include the straight part and any one heart.
For the second heart make the outer loop first, Then carefully circle the wire inside that loop to create swirl.
Flip the swirled wire horizontally, Make a small loop and circle the wire around that loop 2-3 times to create another swirl. Hold the straight parts of the wire together from both sides, adjust them to make a heart shape, Coil the extra wire around the other straight part, cut off extra if needed.
Wrap the straight part and then the hearts around mandrel. Adjust and press the hearts to give them a smooth round shape. Done!
