love your method - thank you
I've just watched JM today when you said that doing a wrapped loop was your nemisis....OH GOSH mine too! 😫But what I want to say is THANKYOU!! Because after you had shown on JM how you do a wrapped loop....I CAN NOW DO THEM TOOOO🤗...WHOOP WHOOP! OH! And after watching one of your recent JM shows I now can pearl knot TOO, THANKS TO YOU!! And Ell and Charlie are right, WE DO NEED AN YVONNE IN OUR LIVES!! YOU ARE THE BEST!! Love Linda xx❤
Wow what a lovely message to come home to! I’m so glad I’ve helped you - isn’t it funny how we can get a complete mental block over some things? It was lovely to meet Charlie yesterday her jewellery was out of this world. Thank you again xxxx
@@LivonDesignsSilversmithing Yes, Trying to do something sometimes just doesn't happen no matter how hard and which way we try to do it, it just takes a certain person to show how it's done and then voila! Success! You have helped me a few times now...THANKYOU!! YOUR jewellery is out of this world!!! Charlie's jewellery is amazing too and she seems to be a lovely lady! Love Linda xxx❤
Thank you for showing this method so clearly. I have been using this method for years with good results, but I have an expensive graduated pearl necklace that broke, and I have butterflies about restringing and reknotting it. Your gentle calm video has helped greatly. I can do this. 💐🫶
Thank you so much for your lovely message - you can do this! Xxxx
Your amazing craftsmanship and your ability to explain the method to that corrugated filigree whiiiiile creating it for your viewers from a line of sight that is not conducive to the jeweler's normal bird's eye view in creating it by very patient hands is near to godliness. I'm truly in awe of the entire process - especially the hands that seem to be imbued with a special ability and knack for working with such delicate and maleable materials. Such Grace is that. ☺️ ... needless to say, I absolutely love your work. So glad you showed up in my feed! 💐🙏🏽🙂💞
She really IS the bees knees!
Thank you so much for your lovely message and for your support xx
Very pretty, thank you.
Thank you too!
Beautiful . Very beautiful ring you made Ma'am, I really think your friend will be very pleased and I very much enjoyed the video and I subscribed and gave a thumbs up and "rang your bell", Bob
Thank you very much
Yvonne, you are SOOOO talented!! Everything you create always comes out beautiful. If I had heated my silver up to that redness I would have ended up with a big blob of melted silver, how do you do it? And even your first sand casting, I think it was the coffee bean, it came out beautiful, I am still trying to get a full piece🥺 I have purchased the zig zag machine and the quilling things too...excited to receive them 😁🤪 THANKYOU SOOOOO MUCH for the video and the new tool ideas....whoop whoop🙌🙌 I have VERY MUCH MISSED your You Tube video's....PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!☺ With love, Linda xx🌷
🤣🤣🤣 Linda you did make me laugh 😹 Thanks so much for your lovely comments and have fun with your new tools. Thanks for watching xxxx
Congratulations 🎈🎊
Thanks so much xx
You are fabulous
🤪
Hi thanks for this, simple tools to make for yourself, but at that price why bother! As an option to shorten the slot, folks could simply twist a bit of, say copper wire into the slot and finish it off buy dropping the end into the slot and cut it off. I would think that spring tension should hold it in place, but it could be removed/changed quickly and easily. Kind regards . . . Andy
Great tip! Thanks for taking the time to watch and to send such a great idea x
Congratulations, couldn’t happen to a nicer person.
Thank you so much that’s so kind of you x
GREAT enjoy :-)
Thank you so much x
What did you get? Some bur lube? Lol! Oh, stamping kit, (foot tapping...), gloves (!) Woo hoo, Ka-ching! Ok, Pliers, getting better. File yes. Ruler .....zzzzz. mallet, yep. 2mm aquamarine, wow!Where's the rolling mill? Books; best things in the box. 😂
Congratulations! Whoop, whoop! Enjoy your sweet horde of well-earned prizes!

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Giiiiirl this is all you should doooo. I’ve maid tiaras too and I love your simple technique. Plz make more tiaras I love watching you make them ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
A question for you: where do you get the flexible tubes, I can't find them on the internet. Thank you! Great tutorial.
Hi there! Thank you for your kind words. I think you may be referring to the French Wire.
I found the French wire through Amazon; it is the beadalon brand. You cut a piece the size you need. Great video! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Would like to see how it works.
Hello! Do you find this has enough torque for stone setting / drilling? I set mainly 1.3mm stones micropave. Thanks!
Amazing! You made this so easy to follow and everything was thoroughly explained! With your help, I was able to string my pearl bracelet on the first attempt! I appreciate you putting this out into the world :) Saved me a lot of money from having a jeweler do it for me! Thank you so much! You are a star!!!
Thank you so much. I’m so pleased you were able to fix your bracelet x
Lovely !
Many thanks!
Mam please can u tell me which glue is used for jewelry
Yes of course I used G-S Hypo Cement. I hope that helps.
Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.
Thank you so much x
Love it. Thank you detailed demo.
You are so welcome!
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Schitterend!
Thank you x
Is there anyway you can list the tools that you used
Hi, are you familiar with the tools required for making and setting a bezel? Thanks for watching.
Gorgeous! How do you finish edges - cut or saw around the edges to cut the circles in half up against the edge and then file?
Hi yes I used a saw to cut out the final shape (after soldering on the circles) and the rest was filing, sanding and polishing x
Great!
Thanks so much x
I love your spinner ring. It is so beautiful. Is this also done in silver clay? I love working with silver Metal Clay. Hugs 🤗, Michelle
Hi Michelle and thank you. The spinner ring is not mad3 using silver clay, I used sterling silver sheet and wire x
I think that’s an awesome whistle… beautiful work… Hugs 🤗, Michelle
Thank you very much x
super tutorial. thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much xxxx
Thanks for explaining this, it's always baffled me
No worries! Really glad it helped x
What torch did you use
I use a Seivert torch.
Amazing work really great advice thank you very much😎
My pleasure! So glad it was helpful x
I’m just learning how to do this… I have watched one of your other videos kinda like this, but it has been awhile so I can’t remember. I just need to look at your videos to find it… I love this technique ❤❤❤ big hugs🤗Michelle
Thanks so much Michelle x
Lovely job ❤
Thanks so much x
Also one more question you didn’t put air holes in did you ? Because I’ve not seen a ring come out whole like this They normally have to cut all the gold prongs that form like spikes from air holes I might try this method Because has you say nothing was wasted With the air holes tunnels I’ve seen up to 4 in most videos so that’s a lot of gold that’s not in the ring the customer gets unless they ask for all scrap left overs and you melt the them to a blob
I usual put in air holes but,to be honest, I forgot! I was luck it worked out for me x
Great video, very skilful not to have much sprue left over! Very lovely indeed 😊
Thanks so much 😊
This Isa great video! I’ve often wondered about buying some antique damaged rings from auctions, now I think it may just be worth a try. Lovely bangle by the way. Your new subscriber.
Hi! Thank you so much for subscribing and welcome. Good luck with your treasure hunting 🤞 xx
That’s a great demo!! Thank you Yvonne so much!! Do you know how wide the two flat rollers can open so that may be used to flat or texture a thin-ish piece of metal sheet? Also how wide the largest half round or beaded pattern wire are? I couldn’t find any of this info on the websites selling this model.
Is it still going well for you?
Absolutely - sound as a pound.
Perfect! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video Yvonne! Thanks for sharing this tool. I ordered it immediately (found it in the US). On sale and Free shipping to Hawaii for a rolling mill - imagine that!
Wonderful!
I love your videos, it's so clear what kind of amazing human you are. So thoughtful and kind. I do have a question: why do you use a plastic bag instead of maybe just a small piece of cardboard for the epoxy? Does plastic do it better? I'm always trying to find ways to not use plastic that goes right into the bin.
Good question. I’d received findings in the plastic bag and wanted to reuse it rather than throw it away immediately.
It’s beautiful ❤
Thanks so much x
I think a silver bean is very pretty
Thankyou. Much appreciated x
That’s a lot of wood!!!! lol 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
