Super Easy Wire Triquetra Tutorial by Jem Hawkes

- Suitable for absolute beginners to wire working.
The Triquetra has been used certainly in the British Isles for at least 2500 years. It has a number of different interpretations, but is well known in Celtic Knotwork, which tends to be endless. Also the interlocking of Three is highly symobolic.
This tutorial is extremely easy and accessible for everyone, perfect suited to total beginners.
I've used 1mm gauge copper core wire for this design, you can use lighter wire for earrings, and I'd recommend 0.4mm gauge wire if adding seed or micro beads.

This is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen!! I’ve recently been learning how to cut and polish Labradorite and I was looking for a good tutorial so that I would be able to incorporate my stones in the centre. I can’t wait to give it a try😊 I have subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward to seeing more great tutorials ♥️♥️
Oh you clever soul, I'd love to see your labradorite. Thank you very much for your kind words fir the tutorial. There are around 50 or so free tutorials on the channel, to which I'm trying to add at least four per month, so I do hope you'll find something of use to you. Very many thanks for watching and for your subscription xxx
@@JemHawkes I’d really like to share some pictures of my stones with you. Most of my stones are organic in shape since I still haven’t mastered the tricky art of making cabochons but I’m always practicing 😊 Do you have a Facebook link? I could send you some pictures ♥️
Thanks again for your great tutorials!!
I've just seen the post in one of our groups, beautiful amethyst and really great work. It's a little after 6am here so a lovely wake up! Have a beautiful day, and THANK YOU! XXX

@@JemHawkes Thank you!! ♥️♥️
I love love all your tutorials. You have so many beautiful and fun pieces. I'm from the US and I was just wondering if you could include the US conversion of your gauge? 😉❤😊
Thank you ever so much. More recently I have added subtitles with US conversions. Thank you for watching xxx
Thank you 💕 love this
Thank you for watching and making time to comment, much appreciated xxx
Very nice, thank you!
Thank you for watching xxx
Excellent video! I’d like to ask you how you finish it with the bail for an earring or as a pendant, considering you have the two wires at the end …
I usually take the shorter wire, wrap it or 2 turns around the longer wire Nd then create a wrapped loop with the remaining wire (small for earrings and large for earrings or wall Décor) xxx
If you want to make the pendant smaller, would you use the same length of wire or make it shorter?
Yes you can reduce the length of the wire but I'm sure you'll find use for the offcuts anyway :-)
Hello, again. Since these are formed by bending the wire, Would there be any benefit to too hardening the wire with hammering or something to that effect to keep it from bending beyond What the style intends?
You can gently tap the out edges of the form as long as you're not hammering anywhere the wires cross over xxx
Is your wire half hard or dead soft?
For this project it was half hard but it will work either way xxx
@@JemHawkes Thank you :)
Very welcome xxx
May I ask you what wind and diameter did you use ?
Thanks for watching. The wire specifications are written in the description of the video, from memory, I think it is 1mm (18gauge) round wire for this design.
@@JemHawkes I'm asking about the wooden stick , what diameter that you used to make a circle ?
@@halagabriel6886 I see - this was recorded almost 2 years ago, so honestly, I have no idea, but it looks to be about 2" across on the wooden mandrel. Hope this helps.
@@JemHawkes thank you
