A good trick is to completely flux cover the whole piece before soldering. Dramatically reduces firescaling and having it turn black. Lovely work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for showing every step in this video! The camera set up and everything is perfect and easy to watch! Great tutorials🥰

Thanks so much for your time. You inspired me to do more than one piece at a time,,!

I have a whole new appreciation for handcrafted silver jewelry. Thank you so much for making this detailed video.

Thank you!!! I love your tutorials, I hope you make videos for ever!

Very beautiful and rather complex, have never done soldering, thanks

I just love it! You are the best teaching all the process...

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

Hi there, thank you for sharing your skills with us. Wonderful video. Elisa/Ca

Thanks so much for this video! You inspired me to make one and I love it!

This was incredibly helpful! I’m making my first cuff, had so many questions, and your in-depth tutorial answered most of them! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much with your guidance I made my first bracelet ❤

Thank you for sharing your skills to all of us, super inspiring video and you make it seem so easy

Very Good Tutorial..

I cover the stone with painters tape to avoid scratches from setter slips. Saved my stone more than once

Still being watched! Good stuff! Feb '21.

Nice work. Thanks

Bellissimo tutorial grazie x il tutorial bellissimo bracciale 💕💝💋💋💖💗💜🙏

Great vid, super helpful....btw, a ring clamp is helpful to hold pieces while grinding.

Watching the video over and over ,very helpful ,it is the best video I have found on this , all your videos are great , you have a subscriber ,Thank You,

This is perfect for beginners ! I have watched a dozen or so videos before I found you, and yours was the perfect one ! Thank you thank you ! Can I ask what is the spinning bowl and rocks that hold your burning and metal blocks ?

Thank you so much for your videos. One question - if I wanted to add all three wires to ONE bigger stone (like a split shank ring) is it the same process?

Nice video good job with your etching! The rocker you may have a better time of it if you turn it so the rocker goes from bottom to top of the cup. Holding it sideways like that is the reason it keeps slipping onto your stone. Just a little observation from a fellow jewelry maker. Beautiful bracelets!

This is a great tutorial! I hope to start creating beautiful jewelry soon. Where do you get your turquoise from? 🙂

Hi! Sorry for the number of questions. I’m shopping on Rio Grande and there are so many options for the sheet metal you used in the bezel. Do you have an item number for this? Thank you!

This tutorial has been so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking time away from your business to teach a newbie! I do have a question about what attachment you used on your foredom to line the backplate and bezel up so nicely. I’ve looked everywhere on Rio and can’t find something that looks similar. Do you happen to have an item number or any keywords I should use when searching? Thanks so much again!

Fantastic tutorial!! Beautiful cuffs!! Can I ask what brand/type of shears you used to cut through the 20 gauge silver?

Where do you get your turquoise and shears! Those are great. I'm in canada :) great tutorials :) also is there a guage of sheet for backing that I can use with a brule torch because I don't have a heavy torch.

Thank you so much for this video. I must of watched this at least 5x 😂 I’m struggling getting my plate soldered to the half round wire. What kind of torch are you using? Also do you file the wire at all so it’s flat where it’s positioned on the plate? I thought this was supposed to be done in order for the solder to flow.

nice video I read the description as well as all the comments and rewatched the beginning until you introduced the bangle wire is it 14 gauge you never said?

Nice cuffs! I have a question. When setting the stones, I was always taught to do them in opposite sides (I.e., north south east and then west and then in between each of the sides. I noticed that you didn’t do that. Don’t you ever get overlapping or crinkled bezels? I’m definitely not an expert by any means, but I’m learning and wanted to ask about your process. Thank you. ♥️

Awesome video! Where did you purchase your stampings? and stamp description / size?

Are you in Rochester NY? Your accent sounds like me here, mingya

How do we know what to purchase? I mean you said rio but I can’t see what silver is it hard, half hard or soft?

Love love love this video! What kind of sheet metal is this? In the video it says 20g Silver, however I am wondering about the hardness? I would like to buy sheet metal on Rio but I am new to this and there are many options

Thank you for your tutorial! I am making my first cuff and I'm having issues soldering it to my gemstone setting. Do you ever need to file the cuff flat to make a better surface connection? Would sweat soldering help at all?

You don't need to enamel before adding texture?

Beautiful crafts. I need a waterproof glue to set my stone in cuff. Any recommendations?

Is that Color Street Nail polish? Love it!

Hi! Great tutorial! Is there a big difference in using a propane torch vs the smaller torch that you used in the beginning to solder the bezel to the backplate?

When I sand and file my bezel wire to get shorter, my bezel wire always folds and crinkles because it’s so thin. Do you have recommendations to ensure it doesn’t lose shape? I’m not pressing hard either. Yours seems thicker than mine. Do you have a link for the bezel wire you purchase from Rio? I know they come in different heights but do they come in different gauges?

Would you mind telling me what size bezels you use? I’m interested in experimenting with the scalloped but pretty lost on the sizing of it all.

gorgeous! but if I can ask you...how much would you sell a piece like this? thanks

Can you use epoxy to reglue the stone?

Hi there are so many options in purchasing bezel wire for each of the item #'s you are using, so as a beginner which size of bezel to purchase?? Which dimensions of bezel wire from 094x.010 to .250x.016 of 30 g wire? Can you tell me which one you are showing in dimensions in your demo?

May I ask what item number your wooden bracelet mandrel you have from Rio Grande? They have so many Fretz varieties/sizes.

Great video , question: when you quench after soldering , why not just quench in pickle?

Do you sell them?

Could you possibly tell me the item number of the little red grinder attachment you are using from rio? Thank you so much for this wonderful video!!

This may be a silly question but what do you do when you “quench and pickle”?

Good tutorial where did you purchase the sheers ?

Hi again ! I tried this & I wasnt successful with soldering on the bezel cup to the bracelet .. any tips would be awesome! :)

Hey there!! Trying so hard haha it seems by bezel wire is really flimsy and giving me troubles when I try to keep it connected before soldering. I’m using item 100290 strip SS .013 x 3/16 any advice?!

Will this work with a blow torch? I have the Durston blow torch.

Are you using prewrap (what people use for their hair in basketball) on fingers? I’ve been struggling to find something that works!

What size are the cabochons? Where do you buy them? Also, could you post the list of supplies in the description please?

👍

One more question 🙈 I was a t a work shop and made copper bangles, but I want to add some of my stones to them. Can you make a bezel with copper and solder it to the bracelets ? Or does that only work with silver ?

I know this video is older but it’s worth a shot to ask. Before you solder the backplate on the cuff, do you file the cuff flat where you are going to attach the backplate like you would a ring or leave it 1/2 round?

Couldn't you glue or re-do whatever was done to create that broken stone in the first place? Wasn't it formed anyway?

Which Dremel tips are you using on this?

Hello. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing tutorials! What is the name of the grinding bits you bought on Rio Grande?

What gauge is the sterling wire you use?

Hi what’s underneath your fireproof block?

Hello! Can any dremel be use for this ?

why are there rocks?

Where do I buy this silver wire? I've looked at hobby lobby and Michael's and all the wire at these stores are only silver plated...

Where do you get the bezel wire from?

Hello! Can you explain what “quench” is ?

What thickness is the bezel wire?

What mask do you use?

I joined a jewelry making face book group. I learned that the bezel must be pushed from the corners first. Do opposite sides first. I find serrated or saw tooth bezel lifts easily and catches on clothes

How much baking soda, how much water?

If you set your stones ON a surface (Thermolock or other holding medium on a block of wood/metal set in a vise, etc...), you won't risk chipping or slipping - as much, etc. "air setting" is as useless as "air filing". Yikes, watching you set stones gives me anxiety! They are pretty, thank you for sharing your process.

showing the actual stamping would have made this video perfect. stamping is not easy and should be shown.
