Celtic Tension Bracelet: A Silversmithing Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- This tutorial shows how to make a simple Celtic bracelet project. For materials, I used 14 (1.6 mm) sterling round wire, 14 gauge (1.6 mm), 8 gauge (3.25 mm) sterling half round wire, and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) fine silver bezel strip in 26 gauge (.41 mm). The stone is a 9x11 mm pink Tourmaline Cabochon. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and a liquid flux. If you see me make a piece of Jewelry you'd like to purchase, contact me through my website.

MicroMark carries a Spreading Plier. Which uses a reverse action than regular pliers. When you squeeze the handles together, the jaws move further apart. I use them to stretch bezels, and round jump rings into ovals for chains. Thanks barb
Thank you Barbara! Those would work well for this:)
Bracelet with fashionable design✨✨✨✨
Thanks for the compliment!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and skills with us ✌️✨️👏
You're welcome Sienna!
Can't wait to try this - I have a nice Larimar cabochon that I think will look nice on here
Jenny - Wiltshire UK
I would love to see it when you’re done Jenny! Send a pic to my instagram:)
Nice! Good job Chad
Thanks Galaxysparkles!
This is a great idea! Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Jeannem! Send a pic to my Instagram if you do. I'd love to see it:)
Thats really pretty. Thanks
Thank you Denise!
Hahaha! I heard that: “…do the twist, like we did last summer!”
Hehe!
Hahahaha "like we did last summer "😂 I was actually waiting for it cause that's my sense of humor right there. I find myself singing snippets of songs for different situations all the time and I get looked at sideways for it.
I love this piece Chad and your explanation on how to do it is impeccable. Its something im going to give a go.Also what skill level would you rate this as ?
I added it to the intermediate playlist, but a beginner with a few pieces under their belt and a good grasp of how soldering works should be able to accomplish this:)
@chadssilversmithing im still not good at pick soldering, I shake too much lol. I'll figure out a way though
Very nice! Love tourmaline.
Thanks Sageandstone!
Would you be willing to share a link for the pliers you use for tightening and burnishing the bezel? Also the pliers with the 2 bigger round end clamps?Thanks Chad! I love your tutorials! I finally made the sea turtles! My grand daughter loved it !❤️
www.riogrande.com/product/chain-nose-pliers/111911GP/?code=111911. I think you mean the bail making pliers (2 parallel cylinders)? If so, I think I got those on Amazon a long time ago:)
@@chadssilversmithing You are awesome! Thank you so much!
I absolutely love this bracelet. I'm wondering how you deal with tarnishing between events? Do you just have to polish a zillion pieces of jewelry before each show?
I usually go through and polish up the really tarnished ones. They do make little inserts to store in bags with jewelry to prevent tarnish, or you can use those silicone gel packs that come with some products that suck up moisture.
I saw on one channel (possibly a Korean or Japanese silversmith) and they applied a special wax after polishing to prevent tarnishing.
@TyOtis Perhaps it was Renaissance wax?
I purchased the 2023 ebook. When I opened it the notes and sketches are very hard to see and read.
Hello Valerie! Send me a message from cvpsilver.com, and I can send you a PDF file instead that should work better for you. Sorry about that. some peoples setup doesn't like EPUB format.
I had the same issue but the pdf version is brilliant
Uaauu❤
👏👏👏👏👏🎁
Thanks Flavia!
