3 Jewelry Designs Inspired by Springs: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to make 3 different novel jewelry designs. There are tons of variations possibilities with these, so have fun experimenting! I would categorize these as mostly beginning or intermediate level. I used some small marquis shaped cabochons for these. I'm not sure, but possibly Serpentine? The materials for these can vary, but for these ones, I used 3ish mm OD sterling tube, 18 gauge sterling round wire, 16 gauge sterling round wire, 20 gauge sterling round wire, 16 gauge sterling square wire, 12 gauge sterling square wire, 22 gauge sterling sheet, 18 gauge sterling sheet, 26 gauge sterling sheet, 3/16 inch fine silver bezel strip in 26 gauge. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!

Thanks for your videos . I just started jewelry making, so I appreciate your easy to follow instructions and fun project ideas!

You're welcome KL! I'm glad you are enjoying them:)

Those are fun!

Thanks:)

[@theoldlady2317]

You have one creative mind 😊.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Well thanks!

[@NewYorkCityGritty5]

I also wanted to ask, do you ever use threads (or pieces that screw onto each other) I cannot find it anywhere on TH-cam for jewelry. I may not be saying it right but I would love to know how to be able to screw certain elements for earrings and body jewelry.

[@chadssilversmithing]

You can get small tap and die sets, and I actually have one, but I never really played with it much. Maybe it's time to find it:)

[@NewYorkCityGritty5]

@chadssilversmithing That's what kept coming up when I was looking on Google "Tap and die sets." Thanks so much for the response, you're the best.

[@Gazz_R]

As a car mechanic I'm going with the earrings. Fantastic works as always Chad and thanks for all you do.

[@chadssilversmithing]

I kind of like those ones too! Thanks:)
