This pattern is suitable for stones with a diameter bigger than 1cm; the bigger the stone, the bigger the lantern. Without the Viking-knit bottom, this pattern can be used to make bead caps. Likewise, one could use a large bead cap for the first part of the pattern, and enclose with Viking knit.

Wire copper unisex bracelet - interlocked knots wire-work

Wide bracelet made of wire; it resembles knitting, but rather than actual knitting, each row is one piece of wire bent into loops, and interlocked with the row before. One advantage of this method is that one can use thicker wire, and thus the bracelet is pretty sturdy, while looking very lacy. While the author of this did all the bending of the loops by hand, it might be easier to ensure their evenness by doing it on a jig. One makes all the row-wires first, and then links them together. Then the bracelet was tapered at each end, so that it could be fastened with one simple hook-clasp.

Long-ish tutorial for this intertwined wire-wrap bangle/bracelet, showing a few variations.

It may also be possible to use stiff cord (such as leather thonging) instead of wire for this.

Learn to knit a bracelet using knitting wire and beads. It's a simple and quick project that can be made even by beginner knitters.

This tutorial shows how to create double-swirl hammered wire-work earrings (with a bead dangle inside). Simple but elegant.

This video shows how to make a kumihimo braid with a wire core, not just for making cuff bracelets, but for pendants (and earrings etc). Rather than tying a knot in the cords and trying to attach the wire, this method wraps the wire around the cords, leaving one end of the wire free for making a wire loop (or wire decoration) and the rest of the wire is the core around which the braid is braided. Then, when there's still wire left, the braid is finished with a couple of half-hitches around the wire, and then the remaining wire can be played with for more decoration at the other end. And the braided part can be bent in whichever way you want, with the wire core making it stiff.

Make the wire into a frame, hammer it flat, stick to masking tape, use doming resin, sprinkle with beads or glitter to decorate before curing. Cool.

Instructable for making resin + wire + glitter earrings that do look rather fab. Includes some useful tips like using less-sticky tape, and using white glue to fill gaps between the tape and the wire frame.
