Shelly, this is the first of your videos I have watched as I plow through the myriad of jewelry makers and artist. I have certainly watched content creators that are more polished but I have none that are any more caring about getting correct information to the viewer, including the pitfalls that await the beginner. This video will be saved so I can find it for future reference. Thank you so much.
Shelly, I can tell by your voice that you are a young lady. I wanted to tell you that you are a wonderful teacher. Keep your technique the same and as you become older you'll only get better. Thank you so much for being such a good teacher. With your instruction, I know that I can do this, too!
Thank You Shelley For This Wire Wrapped Knot Ring.. I Focus On What That Person Is Doing that I'm Interested In I am Not Listening to Nothing Else.. I Love that Style Of Jewelry Making.. Truly Appreciate You For Sharing.. Thank You Shelley again
Yours is the very 1st video I am watching about the process of working with sterling silver wire and I am sooo very glad I decided to click on it. You’re at-home feel plus the uncomplicated tools you are using is exactly what I needed to inspire me further. I became disabled at the age of 45 (about 10 years ago) and so, unfortunately, I haven’t physically been able to hold a job as a result. I have always wanted to start my own jewelry making business (VERY small time, lol) and since my youngest son is now in college, this is probably the best time to try. I’m not sure exactly how much I’ll be able to accomplish but anything is better than nothing. Thanks 🙏 sooo very much for uploading. I really like your style of teaching and I really look forward to checking out your other videos on this subject. ✌️💞
People should stop being so mean you are getting a tutorial on how to make something beautiful with tje tools that she has be greatful with what you get and if you dont like the kids on the back grounf or the tools she is using or tje way her nails looks is her life weather she bits them or not is her business stop all your complains and petty lives and be thank full that she is doing this. If you don't like it get of her tutorial if you have nothing good or nice to say put tape on your mouth or take classes on ETHICS. Thank you for showing us that want to learn how to do beautiful jewelry God bless you and continue all your great work
Shelly, I don't usually comment or "thumbs up/down " video's but this was the best video I've seen in a long time. It was so natural and real. Back to when tube first started and people where real! Very good demonstration too! Thank you! I can't wait to watch more of your videos and try some of your work. Stay real Shelly! Christine
I feel like you rewalking us through our possible mistakes back to the correct way MADE THIS THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO AS A NEW RING MAKER, that I’ve seen yet🙏🏽 I often get stuck and don’t know what to do! AWESOME JOB💍❤️ Thank you so much! Practice with copper☺️ Got IT👌🏼 I actually feel hopeful ✌🏽💕
Thanks Shelley, I ran into a sweet girl while buying a dapping block last week. She said she wanted an Infinity Ring! She is a 3x survivor of colon cancer. I really like the way you took the time to show the right way to make this ring, as well as the difficulties we could run into! I pray I do this ring justice as you did. Thanks again...AAAA++++++
I sure will..I haven't had the chance to get going on it yet. My grandkids are here for Spring Break. I'm teaching them forging and annealing. They are making copper cuffs and we are about to engrave their names and patina. Fun!! Yes cancer sucks...my daughter-in-law is a 2x survivor and just found out they did not get it all. She has another go round with chemo. But both these women have amazing strong spirits. Thanks again Shelley..I hope I can give back sometime like you do with your tutorials. Not all are as willing to share their gifts as you are:) I'm scared to be in front of the camera..lol. My husband is a writer and has some of his writing on TH-cam...mrhawkeye1964. These are of a spiritual nature ..he writes other great stuff as well. I'm trying to talk him into putting some of his funny funny songs he's written on here. TTYL :)
Shelley this is so cool! I am going to try it too! Thanks for the fantastic tutorial and thank you for taking the time to communicate all the nuances of doing this design correctly. So very appreciated!
Thank you for an excellent video.......you are a great teacher! I teach also at a local community arts center and will use this project at one of my next classes!!!
In Celtic design, it’s always over, under. It’s an easy way to know if you are doing it right. Nice video. I like that you talk about your mistakes because that’s where we all get stuck.
Omg Shelley! You are so cute when narrating!! I enjoyed every moment of your video and really appreciated the add-in's to click on other videos right when you were moving on to the next step. I watched all the steps and learned so much! please keep making these kinds of videos, you do such a great job. I found this very helpful. :) Thank you.
It's beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! So glad to see you showing us and explaining in various ways as so many videos go too fast or they don't explain the 'whys'. I can't wait to watch the other videos about soldering and removing the dull colour. If you make another video please could you do one talking through the equipment needed and its various names and any links to good suppliers… it would be useful knowing what is the bare minimum and what to buy if I got a little bit more proficient. Your ring is awesome!
wonderful!thx for the tutorial and most important the inspire.very genuine the nervous shake in your voice im like that too.all the best to you and yours.cheers
Thanks for showing this. Considering the distractions , you must be determined to get your message through. I have worked under similar conditions, without the camera and the need to narrate, with much less poise than you did. Well done.
I have no complaints. I watched ur video to learn something.. And I did. Thank you. Very informative. Oh. And Ty for not locking ur kids in a room just cuz ur worried about others comments. Let them be kids. It's not like any of us paid u for this video. Happy Easter.
This is absolutely phenomenal! I have been searching for something that I could make for my wife for our 25th anniversary. I have been making coin rings for the past few years. We both have infinity tattoo’s. Thank you so much for this idea, and if I could PM you for suggestions that would be wonderful?
Baby girl I can't wait to try this but most of all thank you from one sister in Christ to another. 8 love how God uses you. Never stop spreading the word and don't let doubt, other people, whatever the case is, don't let it separate you from what God has you to do. God bless and I will talk to you later 🙏.
beautiful piece! thank you for sharing, Shelley! couple of video hints: please use "down through" and "up through" -- it's much clearer instruction; watch out for excessive repitition -- like advisng us to practice on lesser wire over and over -- it's distracting and wastes time; be more concise -- know and trust your instruction -- eg, decide if your method is to start 2 sizes smaller OR 3 sizes (not both) and go from there. thanks again!
I would love a wire jewelry making CLASS! nothing around here, so I'm on my own with You Tube I must say it's important to focus and READ the comments and reviews!
Looking at 16 gauge silver wire, they have hard, and "Dead soft" what do you recommend? i imagine hard... but want to be clear. Thanks. Awesome tutorial!
+Bob Giammaria dead soft is what you want to get so its easy to shape use hard solder, then shape it, and then heat it up till its bright red and drop it in ice water which will make it hard so that it doesn't bend during polishing.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and to share your techniques. I do have a question, maybe I missed it but are you using deadsoft 16 gauge wire? I just tried this with half hard silver wire and it was toi hard for me to manipulate, so I have to assume your using deadsoft. Anyway, thank you again for making this!
A raw hide hammer should be used for the forming of the ring, metal will gouge your silver, it will still work if you go lightly enough but for beginners out there they will not know this.
I tried to pay attention to the tutorial but all I could think about was the child(ren) in the background. (In need of some hugs and quiet time?) Other than that I appreciated you taking extra time to explain the looping at the first :)
Seeing how the wire had firescale after soldering, i would say it is most definitely Sterling. Fine silver would not get fire scaled like that after being fired/soldered. But i don't think she mentioned that, or the length of the wire she used.
This tutorial teaches how to use all the WRONG tools to make this. Round nose pliers to pull the silver wire? This will just result in denting the metal. Using a flat head chasing hammer? Again marking and denting the shank. Use a rawhide mallet and never use round nose pliers to grip and pull wire!
I truly loved this video, but my ADD kicked in and I found myself paying too much attention to the baby screaming in the background. I'm def going to try this today (a year after you made the video LOL), but with cheaper wire till I get it down,
How many times to do you need to repeat about going OVER the wire, not under?? I just started watching this and already I'm annoyed. I do hear the kids in the background crying. Can't watch this anymore. I REALLY like the ring, but, I can't watch this anymore.
Shelly, this is the first of your videos I have watched as I plow through the myriad of jewelry makers and artist.

I appreciated your repeated instructions. This is the best video I have viewed, and I'm loving this ring. Don't sweat the small stuff. (Smile)
Thank you Shelley! You managed to film this from your own perspective and gave great instructions!
I feel like you rewalking us through our possible mistakes back to the correct way MADE THIS THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO AS A NEW RING MAKER, that I’ve seen yet🙏🏽
I often get stuck and don’t know what to do! AWESOME JOB💍❤️
Thank you so much! Practice with copper☺️

I'm so sorry to hear that. That's so sad. Cancer is taking over this whole country. I hope the ring turns out beautiful. Let me know how it turns out.
I sure will..I haven't had the chance to get going on it yet. My grandkids are here for Spring Break. I'm teaching them forging and annealing. They are making copper cuffs and we are about to engrave their names and patina. Fun!!

Great tutorial because it showed non obvious ways to get a good shape to the knot. Thanks.
For all you negative people you really need to get a life...she is teaching us something an she is doing a get job...
I know it's been three years but Yes you're right! Don't know how some people can be so heartless...

Shelley this is so cool! I am going to try it too! Thanks for the fantastic tutorial and thank you for taking the time to communicate all the nuances of doing this design correctly. So very appreciated!

Great video. Can you do this with gold wire ?
👍👍👍we like your design

Thank you Shelly! great video.

Le hice una pausa al video para comentar lo sgte: Es impresionamte como das vuelta para explicar algo!
I would love a wire jewelry making CLASS! nothing around here, so I'm on my own with
You Tube I must say it's important to focus and READ the comments and reviews!
Wha-wha-WHAT?? My head is spinning after watching this.
+Rick Davila spinning good or bad?
Spinning good. Thank you for sharing your talent. :)

Looking at 16 gauge silver wire, they have hard, and "Dead soft" what do you recommend? i imagine hard... but want to be clear. Thanks. Awesome tutorial!
+Bob Giammaria dead soft is what you want to get so its easy to shape use hard solder, then shape it, and then heat it up till its bright red and drop it in ice water which will make it hard so that it doesn't bend during polishing.
+Bob Giammaria also I recommend 20 or 22 gauge wire so its a bit stouter as a finished product.
+Tim Zink 20 or 22 gauge is smaller and finer - won't be as stout!
Can you make this so it is adjustable?
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and to share your techniques. I do have a question, maybe I missed it but are you using deadsoft 16 gauge wire? I just tried this with half hard silver wire and it was toi hard for me to manipulate, so I have to assume your using deadsoft. Anyway, thank you again for making this!
Use dead soft wire, or anneal it before.
Pretty neat, very nice ring.🤗
+Rosie V Thank you
Nice VIDEO. You sound a little nervous, are you? Don't worry, I've learned so much from your instructions! Thanks
Please share with me where I can get the cheapest but still quality sterling silver sheets and materials for fine jewelry making? Thanks girl.
riogrande.com
This was good I liked it. Laura in uk
Nice video, very helpful, thanks!
A raw hide hammer should be used for the forming of the ring, metal will gouge your silver, it will still work if you go lightly enough but for beginners out there they will not know this.
+sliv5sliv or if done correctly you will end up with a beautiful hammered band.
@@zinktim thank you for the information can you give solution for someone that don't have the correct malet?
*gasp* Nail biter!!! lol Nice tut, thanks for making and uploading this!
Me too…
Great teacher :) thanks for sharing
Your welcome. Thank you!
I tried to pay attention to the tutorial but all I could think about was the child(ren) in the background. (In need of some hugs and quiet time?) Other than that I appreciated you taking extra time to explain the looping at the first :)
Where do you get your supplies???
Did I miss it, or did you say how long the wire was?? Plus, are you using SS?
Thats the same thing i thought. i kept rewinding it to try and see if she told us how long of wire to start with.
Seeing how the wire had firescale after soldering, i would say it is most definitely Sterling. Fine silver would not get fire scaled like that after being fired/soldered. But i don't think she mentioned that, or the length of the wire she used.
Plxx show me HM alphapatic design in silver rings
Great design
Nice video. Enjoyed it. Pretty ring.
Thank you
Thank you
very nice!!!!! actually I was confused first but then got everything!!
Very helpful thank you!
I need to know what temper of wire to use. The half hard or dead soft wire. I want to use 20 gauge sterling silver filled wire. Any suggestions.
thanks I enjoyed your tutorial
Use a leather mallet not a hammer to round your ring on the mandrel.
How much is a m of silver sterling wire ? Any websites , selling it for a reasonable price ? In UK 🇬🇧
Have you tried amazon
I bought 100% S925 Silver wire and it’s so hard to bend is it normal? 😢
Anneal it first, by heating with a torch so that it glows slightly orange under low light, then dip in cold water. This will make it easy to bend.
what can we use insted of needil nose pliers
This tutorial teaches how to use all the WRONG tools to make this. Round nose pliers to pull the silver wire? This will just result in denting the metal. Using a flat head chasing hammer? Again marking and denting the shank. Use a rawhide mallet and never use round nose pliers to grip and pull wire!
what do you use to grip and pull wire? I noticed the dents too!
OMG YOUR NAILS 💅
I truly loved this video, but my ADD kicked in and I found myself paying too much attention to the baby screaming in the background. I'm def going to try this today (a year after you made the video LOL), but with cheaper wire till I get it down,
It's a figure 8 knot. Easy with rope, might be tricky with wire.
Using flat /round pliers you will not leave any marks on the wire anymore .
they were just playing in my opinion
Chị nói tiếng việt được k ạ ..em k bt tiếng anh
HOW MUCH WIRE DO YOU CUT FOR THE RING
Wooooow Very good
i did it in 5hrs
Do u sell these
Start doing more of your jewelry shows
Very nice
Hang on wait one over and one under ?
I don't think you explained that part enough..
i like it but i do not peak english (goog translaet)
im from vietnames
beautiful :)
You had me at first but now your making it to complicated keep it simple and quick PLEASE
Good video. Just should advise practice wire earlier.
How many times to do you need to repeat about going OVER the wire, not under?? I just started watching this and already I'm annoyed. I do hear the kids in the background crying. Can't watch this anymore. I REALLY like the ring, but, I can't watch this anymore.
Need a rawhide mallet. But nicely done
Probably should stock up and sale on amazon and ebay.

Use a rawhide mallet....no marks on the silver
Btw soap is a chemical. Chemicals are not bad
good .
Your voice so sweet
Nice
There’s nothing worse than hearing a child screaming in the background WTF
