Thanks, Nick! I really appreciate the feedback.
It's taken me a while to find my video style - the early videos were far too long for my taste, and I had no real idea what I was doing. But I...
Hi Everyone,
I realised that I hadn't posted here for quite a while, sorry. It's been really busy lately!
Has anyone been watching All That Glitters? I've been watching religiously! And at my...
Loved your video! Great job! You make making a heart look so easy!
I definitely know the pain... I've cut 6 days of footage into 6 minutes for my latest project! Lol!
Thank you, Dennis. I appreciate the advice, and will put it into practice as I did think I had put rather more scratches than I should have done on this ring :)

Thank you both. I'm very grateful for the comments and encouragement. This week, I went back to basics and made a simple ring band and spent a long time filing out the scratches, and polishing. I was...
Hello,
Hope it's ok, but thought I'd share my first bit of silversmithing since I came back to my jewellery making obsession. For the past 3 months, I've been learning wire wrapping, but switched...
No, it was fine! I understood what you meant! And thank you for the link. I have checked it out, and will bookmark it! I've just started making my first ring and very pleased that I even got the...
Thank you! I have picked up a copy of this book and started to read it! It's quite interesting!
Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions. I will definitely look at my finishing and polishing. At the moment, I've been finishing with filing paper by hand. I have a Dremel, but not used it for...
Hi All,
I'm just getting ready to get back to learning to make jewellery again, and I was just thinking about pieces that I made before taking a long break (about 8 years ago!). I wondered if...
Thank you! It sounds like it would be more stable as a ring if I pierced it from a single piece of metal... I guess it's back to practising sawing for me! I might have to save this design for...
Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't have a tube and wire cutting jig, so perhaps something for the future! However, I've just looked up tube as I've not used it before, and it has just opened me up to...
Hi Everyone,
I wondered if I could pick your brains, please?
I have an idea for a ring, made up of lots of small metal circles (likely silver, although I might start in copper, just to...
This might be a stupid question... but would Renaissance Wax help with anti-tarnishing? I saw it being sold at Cookson Gold, so thought I'd give it a try, but perhaps I misunderstood what it was for....
Good Morning!
Thank you for accepting me to the group! I'm just posting a quick hello before I go back to checking on my kids' homeschooling activities!
My name is Sami, and I started...
I think the prong setting is beautiful! It looks really unusual to me :)
