my wire just arrived in the post box this morning, though i won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow. I can't wait to get making with this! I've been storing up some beautiful stones and I think this will be one of the first things I make, just as a 'getting used to the new wire' kind of thing.

That's awesome! I'm glad that this tutorial helped. I hope your friend likes ur gift:)

thank you so much. this is the dremel that I use amzn.to/42oCNvV

Thank you so much! I buy my chains elsewhere. You can find them on Etsy or RioGrande

Thank u so much for watching

thank you for watching. i just bent the wires and cut them i didn't do much else. I"m not sure if this will work with translucent stones/sea glass though.

U can do that if u want 6 prongs. I haven't tried it myself but I think it would work.

Hmm I'm using the standard dremel at 10 setting most of the time. But it does help to use a flex shaft so you can control it more.

Use a nail Dremel....much more gentle

For the pendant it might work but maybe if u will use dead soft, it's best to add more prongs to make sure it's secure. I personally haven't tried it. But for the ring, u can only use half hard.

Thank u so much. I just use a xuron and I also use this really cheap generic flash cutter from Amazon worth 5 dollars? It's called PCAFC model 170 pliers

@@MithrilArtsandJewelry Thank you! Many blessings to you💫

Hi. Thank you for informing me but I didn't use his designs as reference. This was purely something I thought of myself which was derived from my other tutorial on the prong ring. If there is a similarity, it is purely coincidental.

Ok. But he has both in his book.

I see. But I never read his books, so I really had no idea. If I watched his video prior, I would mention him as reference as I always do and I always encourage people to do. I've been in the art and design world for a long time to know how to do that. :) And just so you know, I've already spoken to him on the subject since this came up just now. So hope that clears it up.

@@MithrilArtsandJewelry Thank you. I wish you the best.

Lol. It's a pretty basic prong method. No credit is needed.

You can definitely add more wire if you want. Just follow the same procedure by connecting them all together first and bend. :) thank u for watching

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of pen are you using to make marks on the wires? I see sharpies in your Amazon list, but I didn't want to permanent mark something if I shouldn't. Also, you mention diamond files as an alternative to the buffing tool. Is there any particular grit you recommend? Thank you so much!

@@lilyt5855 I don't mind at all. :) the exact markers I use is called "Monami Permanent Twin Markers" unfortunately, it's not available in Amazon but I did find something similar from the same brand (Monami) which i think is better because it has a finer tip on one end. I've been using this brand for years so I know it works well. Otherwise, a sharpie would be ok. When making jewelry, permanent markers are more suitable to use. In any case, you can always remove it with a nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. When it comes to Diamond files, I only use a specific set but it doesn't have any grit. it is quite rough tho and i've added it in my amazon list. So you can start with that and just smoothen it out with different grits of nail files or you can make your own by covering a small popcicle stick with sandpaper. I've also included the fine sandpapers I use in the list. I hope that answers your questions.

Oh my goodness! I didn't know till u pointed it out! Thank u! I'm gonna contact him as soon as possible and I'll definitely make a video on it when I use it. :)

@@MithrilArtsandJewelry ah ah good thing i pointed it out then lol. You really didn't win the worst

First of all, thank you for watching. Actually, i talked less in this video. if you've watched my previous ones, i had like a 5 min introduction even. lol. but in any case, there is a mute option on the video.

The talking was valuable. I learned a lot from this video. Made some beautiful pieces for loved ones.
