And now for something a little different.

Memory wire is frequently used by beaders to create beautiful bracelets and chokers. It is also possible for those with a creative flair to use this special stainless-steel wire to make stylish finger rings, or to create quirky wine glass charms to minimise the risk of losing your glass of vino.

And here we have a collection of 10 x 20 coils (or loops if you prefer) of 20mm memory wire – the perfect starting point for your creativity.

Small colourful beads, whether glass, wood, plastic or metal, are threaded onto the coils - concealing the wire from view.

If used as a wine glass identifier, delicate charms can be suspended to dangle off the ring.
