Loved your method of teaching, especially the “s” pattern at first. You explained it as you demonstrated and that clicked with me. Beautiful cuff bracelet, I’ll make many variations of this. Thank you!
Wow, this is just stunningly beautiful when it's finished. You are quite an artist with your designs. I wish my poor hands could keep up. Subscribed ✌️
What a gorgeous bracelet, I absolutely love your designs, and although it looks complicated it's really not it just requires a bit of patience and a really good pair of thin tip flat nose pliers. Thank you for another inspiring tutorial, can't wait to see what you make next .💖
Another GORGEOUS piece. So BEAUTIFUL, so ELEGANT, I'm making (hehe attempting to make, rather) this one RIGHT NOW, because I'M IN LOVE. You are SO talented, so magnificent an artisan! May God keep blessing you and your artistic gift!
@@ImbaliCrafts I was just thinking ...this would make an amazing choker necklace too if made bigger! I may give it a try and then hang a cha crystal charm in center 😍
Thank you, one of the first videos I have found like this! Your clean clean simple visuals and vocal instruction structures are lovely organized for what looked to be quit a complex piece to my eyes. Beautiful! Just beautiful. So well taught. Would love to learn from you in real life in an informal relaxed class room setting.
The thumbnail was pretty but when I saw that bracelet in your hands..OMG...unbelievably gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing! It's stunning! I need to find some copper beads..none of my local stores have them so I need to place a wire orders soon. I'll also check ur site, if you are in USA so the shipping won't be outrageous I'll order from you! 😁!
Thank you ever so much!! I do both, copper beads and wire. For orders under a certain amount the shipping is fairly reasonable as I use standard shipping. You might get what you are looking for locally as that would probably be faster as I am in the UK. Here is a link anyway: www.etsy.com/uk/market/imbali_crafts www.imbalicrafts.com/store
@@ImbaliCrafts Thank you for the response! I will definitely check your site out..I'm in no hurry at the moment. I also really love the cabs you use! They don't carry those in the jewelry shops down here & even if they have them in their online store they look lower grade. It'd be awesome to find a smaller business that focuses on this area to support too! 😁👋🏻
Gorgeous piece and beautiful use of the Greek key pattern! Reminds me a lot of Mexican artisan jewelry pieces. Definitely giving this a go even if just watching your video is intimidating for me! New wire weaver here at an intermediate level but will definitely give this a try!
Thank you! We all start somewhere and if you find this one to complex to start with don't be discouraged. I also started out doing easy wraps and just got some practice in.
Hello! Thank you for your videos!!! In your ‘Finishing Techniques’ video you show a cuff bracelet like this that has blue channel set stones. Do you have a tutorial for that one? If not, do you have a tutorial that shows how to do channel settings? Thank you so much! Joanne
Hi! First: thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge: your artworks are amazing! Second: I'm starting to make something with this technique, can you suggest one - or more... - places where to buy wire? I found something on Amazon and something else in others...but do you know a place where to find ALL wires with ALL sizes and ALL the types? Square, half round, round, from 0,1 to 2 or 3 mm.? Thank you very much! 🙏
It depends where you live. In the US there is Riogrande or parawire. You can take a look at my website or Etsy shop as I sell all the wire gauges, too, and am in the UK, also ship worldwide. www.imbalicrafts.com or www.etsy.com/uk/market/imbali_crafts
@@ImbaliCrafts Of course, but on goods coming from outside the EU, a surcharge is paid at customs. And it depends on the content, on the amount, etc. You often find yourself paying 50% more!
gorgeous design! when completed, how large is this cuff when complete excluding chain? Am going to give it a try, but want it to fit my wrist. Thx so much for your fabulous tutorials!
This cuff was for a small wrist (16 cm) circumference but with a chain you can extend it considerably. The pattern wouldn't reach around the wrist as much if it is larger wrist. You could always add a cm per cm of increased wrist circumference. Remember, though, that the Greek key, would need 3 cm added per cm of increased wrist circumference as the wire is folded over three times. Hope this helps :)
Yes, all wires are dead soft for this but you could use half hard, if that is all you have on hand. I have a PDF tutorial for this but I have to finish editing it. You can find it in my shop next week :) Here is a link if you'd like to take a look www.etsy.com/uk/market/imbali_crafts
I've been practicing the center pattern for about a week and I think I'm finally ready to attempt to create a usable length. However I'm so unsure how long to make it! My final length will be 7 1/2 inches. Can you help me along with that? The beads on each end makes it hard for me to estimate. I LOVE this pattern. It will be a challenge, but I'm up to it.
Thank you Mary. For the central part for this bracelet you would need a much longer piece of 1 mm (18 ga) wire than for the rest because you are 'folding' the wire over multiple times. I think the measurement I have used was 45 cm (17.7")for the central pattern. I would add and extra inch of 18 ga wire per extra 'fold' if that makes sense and then have around 4" sticking out at each end to have enough wire to create a loop and finish off the piece. Hope this explains it all!
Each of the 'folds' takes up about 3.5 cm or so depending on how big your folds are. I would cut a test piece, measure it, make a fold and measure it again to see how much wire it used.
I LOVE your wire work! i just made this yesterday , abslutly stunning!! I got a question tho,, is it ok if i make this and sell it online in china? only in china :) just wanna ask for ur promission 😽
I don't mind it when people make the odd one here and there to sell but I would prefer it if you don't mass produce my designs to sell. I appreciate you asking! 😊
@@ImbaliCrafts Yeah def not gonna be like that, i just started learning wiring few months ago then found myself spending too much to learn it, then thought, may as well open a shop as a side busniess to earn some spence back😂. just a small 'run by 1 person' shop. thanks for being genrous! i LOVE all of ur designs !!!! keep being creative!🤗
Dang mine didn't look anywhere as near good as yours did. my loops wouldn't close and they kept overlapping with the previous ones even though I put the extra bend between them. grrr. I guess I have to keep practicing.
I have plenty of designs that go in the UFO (unfinished object) bin, then on the next try things turn out better. It's just getting familiar with new techniques! Next one will be better!
Highly skilled people make complicated things look incredibly easy .... it is very beautiful
That is a lovely compliment. Thank you so much!! xx
Hey Nadja, this is an amazing tutorial. Very well explained and shown, it instantly made perfect sense. I just finished the s-pattern, I love it!
Loved your method of teaching, especially the “s” pattern at first. You explained it as you demonstrated and that clicked with me. Beautiful cuff bracelet, I’ll make many variations of this. Thank you!
I am really pleased you like my teaching methods! It's lovely to get constructive feedback (good or bad!) Thanks!

I have several places I buy from but my go to is wires.co.uk. :)
