It helps to have a chasing hammer and bench block to complete this tutorial. Because we have made the rings very rustic, using a regular hammer and a hard surface is a fine alterative for this tutorial.

Hammer the wire gently, flattening the wire / Using round nose pliers turn a loop at one end of the wire.
Wrap the wire around a ring mandrel (or something similar size to your finger)/ Keep wrapping with the flatterned section against the madrel / when your happy with the size cut the wire and file the end gently with a nail file / make two of these.
Cut various lengths of chain and attach them to loops on the rings using jump rings. (See teahabs blog for a more in depth jump ring tutorial)
Adjust the chains as necessary.
