What is a Herkimer Diamond? My newest FREE tutorial, that's what! Have fun! In this tutorial, I'm using a NY Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystal that is about 1/2 inch all the way around. The wire is natural, untreated Copper. Like always, Tools and Materials are listed in the first few seconds of the video.
You can read more about Herkimer Diamond Quartz at the following link which is where I got the info below.
www.thediamondauthority.org/w...
"A Herkimer diamond, also called a Stone of Attunement, is a quartz crystal commonly mined in the regions of Herkimer County, New York, U.S.A. The stones are renowned for their impressive elongated hexagonal structure and rare occurrence...."
"... Herkimer diamonds were first made famous by their name, derived from the U.S. County it was first found. But the stones are also discovered in numerous other regions globally ..."
"...Proposed Healing Capacities
Some believe Herkimer diamonds contain unique properties, so the stones are employed for holistic purposes. The early settlers and Mohawk people of the New York regions employed these stones as amulets for numerous benefits. And today, these purposes are still explored, with claims that the stones can help in physical, emotional, spiritual, chakra, connective, and romantic energies...."

Finally! Someone who takes their time to show you how to encapsulate the stone properly. Love how you are so patient in your teachings..it really helps visual learners such as myself. Thank you so much!
Thank YOU, Tiana, what a beautiful comment to read, I'm so happy my tutorials help you and you enjoy them. My dream. Many hugs!
Still half way through this but am enthralled - you show everything so well - thank you
Oh, thank you!! What a lovely comment, Jeanie, I appreciate you took the time to write, enjoy!
Hi 😊 Just wanted to say Thank You so much for sharing your incredible knowledge and Beautiful Creations. I'm excited to try making (one-day soon - when I get tools and correct things needed,that I haven't got already). Your detailed instructions are calming, especially explaining how to control wires, beads etc are excellent ❤. I watch all on TV & still learning CZcams navigation. Cannot leave comments unless on dinosaur mobile, so on it ATM 🙂. Please know your appreciated & likes are all I can do for now, but will be enjoying everything I'm learning & you make it easy. I'm just learning 😀💖
Welcome, Maria! Thanks for this lovely comment, I'm super happy you're here! Please remember to subscribe if you've not already, so you know when I post new tutorials. Thanks again!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry 🙂I subscribed soon as 1st advertisements stopped, then liked and saved into watch later and folder I'd called Creating Jewellery, because couldn't open new folder with your name /channel as no options on TV for that or to leave comments. Had to wait till on here (mobile phone CZcams), then saved directly so I can find all these beautiful Creations & lessons without struggling to remember!😢 Memory & time so out of sync, sad when not really a joke, getting older...for me not great, but I love jewellery making, so much to learn. I've accumulated so much for it, just now need to invest in some decent tools. Watching your videos makes me want to get closer to trying to make things set up & enjoy creating. I've got loads of expensive books magazines, but whilst seeing photos of few steps & lists I'd either not be able to find or afford, not any value. I forget what I read often within minutes, so why watching, can follow & pause or rewind as trying to achieve proper directions 🙂 I also try to pop into our op-shops... Thrift stores O/S? Where people donate items that are no longer used so can be purchased for charity stores to help us all have chance to get pretty clothes etc. & old jewellery able to be recycled. Got lots of different things. Some missing stones, hopefully can modify or make something ew with pieces still intact. I'm having trouble getting my earings into piercing sadly these days and have to not wear some favourites because they're pulling earlobes down. Bummer, but might learn way to use lightweight wire & less heavy beads, findings etc. Don't think would ever wear clip ons🙂
Anyways 😂 sorry for life story episode & no need to reply either🙂 No way could I have not subscribed and liked, and really grateful finding your awesome creations & videos, they made me happy, Inspired & eager to have a go soon! 🙂💖
You are an excellent teacher. I just did my first 2 cuff bracelets using your techniques, and they came out beautifully. Didn't even waste any wire or have to start over. Thank you for your detailed instructions and your calm voice. God bless
Wonderful! Great job! Thanks for this lovely comment.

Thank you for sharing the whole process. It is a beautiful piece of art. ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us this. Thank you for every detail. Really appreciate what you have done here.
Thank you! Enjoy making one, KT!
Great tutorial! I finished my first one and it doesn't look half bad! My elegant curves need work. I learned alot from this. Now I know what to do with all of the quartz I dug up in Arkansas. Thank you for sharing!
Oh happy day!!! Thank you for this wonderful comment, Donna, I am thrilled you did the wrap and now have one you can use for all that Quartz! Yeah! 🤩🤩😘
I am convinced that you have magic fingers! Ever always turns out beautifully 😊
Oh my! What a beautiful comment to see, Eve, THANK YOU!
WOW what a great video! Thanks!
Thanks, Debbie, I'm happy you like it!
Such a beautiful piece! When I attempt weaving...bubble city. These Herkimer tutorials are great practice videos. I am trying to be less anxious when I use weaving for anything. Having to force myself to slow down.
Awesome to hear, Genni, yes, weaving is a matter of some practice for the tension and the patterns but after you get it, ... it really clicks in, like knitting, if you do that at all. Thanks!
Another beauty! Thank you!
Thank you too! Happy New Year! Hearts you!
Thanks! Just made this and very happy with it
Thank you so much!! It means a lot to me that you ate happy with your beautiful pendant!!🥳🙏🎉❤️❤️🙏🙏
Wow so beautiful ❤️🇩🇰 - thanks for taking the time to show it all 🥰
Of course! I want you to be able to make all of it and have a nice beautiful pendant!🥰🙏💕 thank YOU for this lovely comment, enjoy the tutorial.🥰
This is a truly beautiful piece.
Thank you, Suzanne!

@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry😍😍😍
❤❤❤
Beautiful workmanship, I love it❤❤❤. Also we're do I find the big spools of wire?
Thanks, Crystal! I buy wire at Riogrande.com
I have noticed you are making different bales in other tutorials- without half round wire wrapping...do you think that technique would work for this pendant?
Hi Jeanie, yes, that weaved figure 8 bale will work for this and all or most of my other designs too. You just split the two wires and weave rather than keeping them together and wrapping with half round, otherwise, it's the same. Great question! That bale will look great on this wrap!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry thank you so much !
Have you tried this with square?
Yes, it works great in either round or square wire. Enjoy!
How would you price something like this?
Good morning, Morgan... that would depend on a few things, the quality of your Herkimer, the size, the metal you use, the method, and certainly what you originally paid for your material... and then the time it takes you to design and build. Pricing is a hard thing to do. It's very dependant on the artist and their materials and design and process. These Herkimer are very very nice, I've sold several in the past 2 years and they are a bit larger than some. So you should compare, maybe even in Etsy... do a search and see where yours might fall. Herkimer pendants can range from less than $50 to over $200, maybe more even in some cases. Hope that helps you!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry many thanks for taking the time to respond...it is a lovely piece!
Thanks again, Morgan, I hope that helped you... if I misunderstood and you wanted to know what I've sold them for, then all of the ones I've sold in Sterling and Fine Silver, have been over $200. My copper ones sold for just under $200. Thanks again!
O mais bonito é a pedra, e você escondeu por detrás dos arames, que mareia e fica feio. Menos arame e mais pedra.
Thanks for your comment but the copper wire is sealed in my final finishing process and therefore will not change or get dark. Perhaps you might enjoy some of my tutorials on how to finish your jewelry.
