I am amazed! When you started I thought no way would I be able to make this. But I kept watching and you made sense out of the whole process . Thank you!
WOW! What an amazing stone & so deserving of the wrap you gave it! Thanks for taking the time to go thru every little step! If you had simply breezed thru the process no one would ever be able to duplicate it! (Well, at least I sure couldn’t!) There are so many tiny steps to making this lovely pendant that, one could sure get themselves in a tangled mess & wouldn’t know if they should go backwards or forwards, wrapping or unwrapping??? 😵💫 I couldn’t help but think about how my Mother would often read to us this poem at bedtime, about elephant who tried to make a phone call. The problem, however was that he continually got his trunk all tangled up in 🎉the spiral cord of the phone until, at last he had himself so tied up that he could not get himself free! I kept visualizing that elephant, while listening to you, and it made me pay much closer attention! 🤪 😘
I faceted a rock crystal quartz as her cut deep stone. I believe this will be the wire wrap tutorial I will use for my stone. A gift for a bride. Thank you so much. I loved this video.
Thank you so much... For the great narration and closeups. You did such a great job in every aspect. I'm sure that I will be referring back to this when I need to tackle a deeper stone. Really appreciate all your efforts in sharing this with everyone. ❤
Thanks for watching! I hope you find this video helpful. Let me know in the comments if you did. Also don't forget to hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe! 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. It will help me know what to do with my tumbled thick irregular stones. I appreciate dearly. You showed everything so well.
I’ve keep coming back and watching , so today I have square , half round and a stone but I’m going to practice on a quarter before I make my stone ! Just learning and I enjoy your video’s so much ! 🤟🏻❤️🥰💋
Awesome! Almost an hour of the ever so talented Melissa! Great design and thank you for allowing us to see your design process, you make this look so easy and the piece looks brilliant, well done. I know producing a video like this is very tedious but you did an outstanding job, love it! Thank you again! Looking forward to the next one.
I had seen your original post on Facebook and voted for this tutorial. Thanks for making it. I know how difficult it can be to create a piece and video at the same time. It seems to add a bit of frustration at times for me at least so great job. I love the elegance of the silver one. This one did turn out a little busy but still nice and I love the stone. I need to invest in one of those polishing kits. It really brought out the shine and erased the tool marks wonderfully. I find myself using LOS to antique most of my pieces to hide blimishes but this is a great option now. Thanks for taking the time to create this tutorial.
Thanks so much for watching! I’m still debating wether to just cut the extra wire off since that’s an option still lol! We’ll see if anyone is interested in it! This video gave me high anxiety for sure!
First time to your channel, glad to find you!!!. I recently viewed a couple of tut on how to make prong settings but neither one followed through any further, thank you for doing so. Very impressive how you set the stones, forgive me for saying that the embellishments (except for the basket weave) was not my preference, easy enough for me to say since I have never done it, yet. Lol. LOVE the two other pieces you showed, look forward to your next vids!!. 🙏🏼💗
What a great video! The information contained herein is amazing! Having seen your "jacked up" zircon, it was a mystery as to how you got it that way. Now I know! Thanks, Melissa! Say "hello" to Gert for me!
Adoro a maneira como trabalha o arame e transforma numa peça bonita os meus parabéns gostava de saber trabalhar assim porque gosto muito de bijuteria bonita e bem feita.💐👏
Your wraps are always so well thought out and beautiful...and your stones!! MY GOD...now this quartz is so incredible! I need to start shopping on ebay. Thailand, huh? Are they known for their quartz and other gemstones?
Excellent Work in the design curves!!! You didnt let it derail you, just kept going, and ended up with a grape vine crown at the end WOOWOOO !!! 🙏🚂🎼🌹🎵🎶🛠🔥💓~C< 3)>>-Z->}
Oh yes! I would use sterling but I just didn’t have enough for this project and the prices went up ☹️ I hope they come back down soon. Thanks for watching! Glad I could help! ☺️
Hi! Thanks so much for this! I love these videos and I love Gertrude! I was wondering whether the wires that go between the two layers of framing need to be curled? Would this design work with straight wires for a simpler design or would it collapse without the friction in the curls? Hope you understand what I'm getting at... Take care!
It would look great simple for sure! I was experimenting with the wire by winding it down the side. I might cut it off still. Who knows! I’m so glad you like the video! That makes me happy 😊
@@ZurickDesigns Thanks for replying! In case I didn't explain well enough, I didn't mean the curly extras from the bail and down the sides. I meant the twisted square wires that jack the frame up. Was wondering if the structure would work if I didn't bend or twist them and just had them straight... Will try and find out:) Love your stuff!
Starting out into wire wrapping, I’ve got nylon pliers, brown nose pliers, getting flat nose pliers, what was that measuring tool that you had? To measure the depth. And would you recommend any other tools
Those are calipers. I would start out with the round nose and flat nose, also chain nose pliers (I have a fine tip and a thicker tipped) and a good pair of flush cutters! ☺️
I am amazed! When you started I thought no way would I be able to make this. But I kept watching and you made sense out of the whole process . Thank you!
I'm so glad!

Thank you Melissa for this tutorial. It is just what I needed to learn how to tackle a deep set gem I have had for several years.
Glad it was helpful! 💜☺️
It's 4am and I should be sleeping but I really like your videos so I'm going to be up for another twenty minutes I guess. Thank you ✌🏼️

@@ZurickDesigns adding that video element to the whole thing seems to do that to me as well. I love your work. Thanks for sharing.
You can also get a nice polish using a flex shaft or a dremel tool and some polishing disks. Of course, my JoolTool is the best option.

Haha. I did go a little overboard with the swirls but I could easily cut them off lol!
I love your video’s !
Thanks!! ☺️💜

Will do! Thanks for watching!!
Beautiful 🤟🏻❤️💋
Thank you for sharing
Lovely 😊
Thanks for watching ☺️💜
It is beautiful. Please can do a video on how to use a Dremel tool to get rid of tool makers. What bits that you prefer to use for this type work.
Thanks!
See if this helps! 😉

Lots of practice!
Thanks so much! 💜☺️
Your wraps are always so well thought out and beautiful...and your stones!! MY GOD...now this quartz is so incredible! I need to start shopping on ebay. Thailand, huh? Are they known for their quartz and other gemstones?
Yes! I bid on a lot from grand gemstones on eBay. I took a break from bidding many years ago since I have so many lol
Thank you!!!
👍🏻☺️💜
Tku for the nice music too
Excellent Work in the design curves!!! You didnt let it derail you, just kept going, and ended up with a grape vine crown at the end WOOWOOO !!! 🙏🚂🎼🌹🎵🎶🛠🔥💓~C< 3)>>-Z->}
Thanks! 🤗💜
Thank you for helping my brain code this way. I love wire work
Thanks so much for doing this! I can't wait to start working on mine. I see you used copper, but assume i can use sterling silver instead...
Oh yes! I would use sterling but I just didn’t have enough for this project and the prices went up ☹️
I hope they come back down soon. Thanks for watching! Glad I could help! ☺️
Where would you shop for gemstones like that now and how much would something like that cost? Your work is amazing!
I got all mine many years ago from Thailand off eBay. They may still have them. Grand gemstones.
👍❤

bonjour, c'est superbe quel est la taille et le type de fils que vous utilisez ?
Hi!
I used 18 Gauge Square and 18 gauge Half Round Wire.
(I think you asked about sizes)
@@ZurickDesigns Merci beaucoup et felicitation
The problem is one prong was 6mm while the others were only 5mm.
Oh, I wanted to ask you!...did you have another channel at one time, or were you part of someone else's channel? Your voice sounds so familiar.
No, I have my page under my name but I just have random videos on it. I don’t think I spoke! 😬
I`ve not seen anyone else create a custom setting like this, it is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing ?
You’re welcome! ☺️
