I was told sterling silver crimps were the most secure by a trusted store. They really are the most secure. Well worth the cost.

I was watching a special on designing rings for diamonds. Something I had never heard before is that whatever you use for the ring, white gold, silver…. The main diamond should be set in platinum because it’s the strongest. I thought it was interesting.

Definitely not true..this grandmother has made jewelry for 50 years..tube ones are the most sturdy..not necessarily silver but tunes always are best

I'm listening to everything you are saying and I'm learning so much! 😮 I have no clue when this video was made but I'm glad I found it. One question for you. 🤔 What is the 3rd spot for on the crimping plyers? 1st spot is to fold the crimp. 2nd spot is used first to separate your wires and bend a smile into the crimp. 3rd spot ???Noone I know has any clue what the 3rd spot is used for.

@FireMountainGems 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for watching! 😊 It depends on the pliers, but some will just have the 2 spots, and on others, that 3rd spot is exactly the same as the 2nd spot, but just slightly bigger to accommodate larger crimps. I'm sure there are other types of pliers out there, but hopefully that helps a little bit!
