Make A Triangle Twist Bracelet: An Easy Silversmithing Project

Жыл бұрын

This video tutorial shows how to create a lovely heavy Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet with a twist. Included are some tricks for isolating a portion of the wire so only that part ends up with a twist, and as always, my sparkling personality;). This project involves no soldering. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful?

I seen bracelets like this without the twist, for a little under $100.,some stamping but would take more expensive tools to make,after much thought i think this is the best idea for sales. That twist has impact!

@chadssilversmithing Жыл бұрын

These ones do sell pretty well, and don’t take a lot of effort. So I usually keep a few in stock. I should probably explore some variations at some point to change things up. Thanks Larrymore!

Absolutely Larrymore! I sometimes put a single twist in square wire hoops for something different:). Thanks for watching!

Great video !! I’m going to try this but with a vice and some vice grip pliers. Keep up the great work !!

@chadssilversmithing Жыл бұрын

That should work. Just make sure you cover the teeth on the vice grips with something smooth so the silver doesn’t get all messed up:)

Thank you Donna. I usually try to describe the materials in the video, but in more recent ones, I’m adding that info into the video description so it is easy to refer to. I appreciate the input! Take care:)

@susanmcneil5159 Жыл бұрын

Wow I really need to order some triangular wire. I have done twists with square wire before which is lovely & a hammered portion for a twist in round wire. The effect in all of these wires is eye catching. Luv the idea of earrings too. Would it be possible to add a quick pic of the items you have used during a polishing process in the videos? Not the entire polishing process as already done. Sorry newbie learner here. Thnx.

Love this! Thanks for solving the mystery of how that is done. Do you think it would look any good with half round wire?

@chadssilversmithing Жыл бұрын

I think I tried that years ago, and I don’t remember being pleased with the results, but I may be misremembering. You could try it and see:). If you do, let me know how it turns out.

Awesome 😎 I would like to know if it’s different process when using 999 silver or 925 silver?

@chadssilversmithing Жыл бұрын

Hello Glowtron8! Thanks for watching. .999 silver, or fine silver is a bit softer, and won't hold a polish as long as sterling silver. Other than that, it should be much the same. Take care!

@JustME-ft4di 7 ай бұрын

How do the clamps not squash the top of the triangle?

@chadssilversmithing 7 ай бұрын

They will leave a small indent that can be polished out. You could probably pad them with a bit of thick paper or card stock and reduce that issue even further:)

How much did that #2 wire cost?

@chadssilversmithing Жыл бұрын

It depends on where silver’s at, but generally about 3/4 of an ounce to 1 ounce per bracelet, so right now, probably $25 to $30 per bracelet at a guess.
