These orbs were made using my 18 gauge 9mm tarnish resistant rings.

I made these using 7mm 20 gauge rings and dropped a 6mm cat's eye bead inside.

Step 1. Begin with 3 rings.  Lay the second ring on the first as shown.  Add the orbital ring. It was a little hard to get this at first for me. But, once I got the hang of it, these are really quick and easy to make.

Step 2. Now, add 2 more sets of orbital rings, so that you have 3 going around your base ring. This is a top view of what your piece should look like so far.

Step 3. Now, add the next 3 rings. These are each attached to the orbital ring and should be inside of the ring already there. This is also a good place before adding the 3rd ring to place a bead or even a marble inside your orb.

Step 4. Now, you are going to attach 3 more orbital rings. Lay a ring where 2 of the rings meet that you added in step 3. Then attach your orbital ring by going through the 2 rings of step 3. This orbital ring will be in between 2 of the orbital rings you made at the beginning.

This shows the placement of the next orbital ring.

This shows the placement of the last orbital ring. It got cut off, but you can still see how and where it should be attached. You are finished!!
