I teach a middle school jewelry design class and can't wait to make these with them. Thanks!
What a cool class! I regret not taking jewelry making in hs.
What!? I've never heard of any school offering something so cool. I'm not saying that just because I like this stuff. But I really think that's great that they offer something so out of the boxb from your typical classes. Thank you for teaching this kids and giving them something to look forward to during their days.
I love how she explains, I love her, I ask her to continue downloading such beautiful tutorials.
very well thank you.
love the ring tutorial. Also love the brown bracelet you are wearing in this video would love to see a tutotial on that
That’s beautiful! I am also thinking of using that twisted technique, a little shorter, to make links for chain. I would tap them not so flat, maybe solder the cut end closed, patina, buff, & tumble for a couple hours. I think that would look good for a man’s chain… Have a pendant for my brother that I may use it on. Thank you so much ❣️
Love this ring design. Thank you Susan!
Such a pretty, dainty, sweet ring! I’ll be making this for sure!! Thanks for showing us how!
This project is fantastic, thank you! Very inspiring. I see lots of rings (and bracelets) using this technique in my future!
Glad you made this ring option. Looks great. Going to try to make it for my daughter for Christmas. TYFS
Thank you for explaining about patinas and bare copper wire! I've been trying to figure out how to keep them from turning fingers green! Your videos are always amazing.
Beautiful ❤
Love your classes. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

You make it look so easy❤
I Saw you wearing this ring in the snowman video and thought wow, really nice! Glad I found this video so I can make one for myself 😀👍♥
Beautiful again!
wow!! perfect!!!
I always use a piece of cotton fabric over the piece when hammering so I dont mark up the metal, also I've glued cotton fabric on the Inside of the vice for same reason, great video! Thanx❤
Great idea!
Very cute ring, thank you and happy and safe holidays.
I could smell it from here 😂nice job love all your teaching
Have a blessed day
Really nice!
Thanks, im in love ,whit you allways fres ideas, depp apreciad to you💞🙏🙏
Cute! Cute! Cute!
Seen a couple of the videos and and forgotten to hit subscribe and I did now.hi from lutz Florida USA
Knew to this and I cannot wait to give it a go! You mentioned an acrylic sealer. Never heard anyone mention that before. Any idea where I could find it or am I being too literal? Thank you for your terrific instructional videos!
You can get an acrylic sealer like krylon at your local home imporvement store! Just be sure you spray the metal before adding your bead. It can be harmful to most gems.
@@JewelSchool thank you so much!
Does anyone know a really good acrylic sealer spray in the U.K.?? Thanks for the vid hun these are so cute 🥰
That is nice. What is that bracelet you are wearing and how do you make it?
Great tutorial 🙏❤️ thank you so much. Cut I made it wider and with a bigger stone??
Sure!
Susan Omg 😳 It's So Hard for Me to Focus! On that Cute little Ring 💍 Them Bracelet's You are Wearing or Gorgeous Pieces..Is There a Tutorial on them Bracelet's?? Thank You so Much I appreciate you for Sharing..
Awesome teach... You are very concise and make it easy to follow along... my one question is: can this be done with Stainless steel wire? Thanks in advance and thanks for teaching us
I would think stainless would work/just a bit harder to work with
Thank you ❤!! Can you make the leather bracelet you have in the video? 🥰 thank you !
We can ask!!
What type of flush cutter is your favorite?
The ones that are made by beadalon are the best! Here is a link: www.jtv.com/product/designer-flush-cutter/PLIER61?mcid=XSOjyst00018
Do you have anything for tie tacks?
Rustic copper ring 🙏
Do you have any tutorials on making prong set rings? I have some cubic zirconia stones and unpolished sapphires I would love to make into a ring.
Yes I got a bag of cubic zirconias 4mm faceted on all sized and they’re sitting with nothing to do so I second this request plzzz 🙏
Do you just keep the liver of Sulphur in that cup? How long will it last?
Where can we find the wrap-n-tap you used to get the ring started before adding it to the ring mandrel?
we are sold out of it on our website, but a quick internet search for wrap-n-tap pliers will get you to a link!
I'm very allergic to sulfur. Is there something different I could use?
Is there an alternative to using Liver of Sulfer??
This is a great question! Many different jewelry makers have varying opinions and you can research for yourself, but the overwhelming response seems to be placing your wire before you use it in a container with 8-9 hard boiled eggs! Here is an article we found: www.wirejewelry.com/jewelry-making-blog/22306/how-to-oxidize-your-wire-and-jewelry-without-liver-of-sulfur-by-delilah/
Good Luck!!
Yes, hang in a closed jar over a bit of ammonia
At 5:34. Why not just make it a closed loop with minimum wraps covering the raw end of the other wire?
thats a great idea! I'm gonna try that 😀👍
Nice looking finished ring, but it will be more durable if you find some way to better secure the ends of the copper wire, like wrapping it under the bead and gluing. With very much use the bead is sure to work its way loose and if someone bought this ring there would be returns and unhappy customers.
Braids require more than 2 strands...that is a twist.
Yes, but when you flatten it, it then resembles a braid. Without the need of a 3rd wire :)
Where is the lesson on soldering?
This is a "no solder" ring.
