That flower is so cute. I love wire-wrapped briolette flowers: just find a handful of pretty briolettes (glass, stone, crystal, facetted or smooth), wire them together and you have a beautiful flower that can be used in a pendant, brooch, earring, bracelet, ring etc (depending on size). Especially good for beginners that enjoy seeing a simple shape forming a flower in front of their eyes in seconds or minutes. And depending on the choice of briolettes/drops, the flower can become everything from whimsical and colourful to elegant and expensive-looking.

It might be difficult for beginners to create a beaded flower ring.
There are actually two parts to the design - the flower itself and the
ring band. So learning how to do just the one thing might well help
someone starting out with wire work.

Amy over at As the Bunny Hops has an easy wire wrapped beaded flower ring tutorial.
The flower part is a popular way of wiring side drilled beads with a
central bead together. But what she does next is to simply wrap it
around a basic adjustable ring band.
Another informal wire wrapped ring tutorial is by reader Divya over at the Jewels of Sayuri blog. This one cleverly uses a patterned and flattened wire strip salvaged from a broken bangle.
