👍👍 Thank you. Love the broader hook. It looks nice and more sturdy.
Pretty!
Practicing with aluminum wirw for now. Love this disign
I love the design but it would have been nice if she had talked about how much wire was needed for different length and how to measure for this bracelet.
Lmao I was thinking the same
I would assume 9" or so to make room for the loop and the hook portion, depends on the size of your wrist
this! i think i’ll bend it around a bracelet mandrel after making the loop, to give myself a rough idea, then cut down if needed before hammering and flattening the other end, with about 20mm for the hook
love em all.........thank you for showing us.....hugsss
A jeweler's miter jig is very easy to use and will allow you to file your ends perfectly flat with no guesswork.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Very pretty.
God bless you.
Great video, beautiful piece. 🎄
Thanku for such a gorgeous bracelet and I am going to make one out of copper! Have a wonderful day 🌼

I love this cute little wire bracelet. Definitely going to try it.
A rawhide hammer works great too without marring the metal.
Nice 👌!!

Hi I use this method as part of my teaching beginners to handle various wires from bronze to silver- here in Hampshire UK. I always refer them to your link. Excellent simple and so useful Thank you. ( Liked and subscribed).
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing the bead goodness out there!! Aloha!
Where do u teach in Hampshire!!!!??
Hampshire comment was for Nicholas T
Отличное видео, спасибо большое за обзор. 🎂🎂🎂💖💖💖💐💐💐
thank you and aloha!!
Love your videos! In the Gem Bangle video you are using a file. Where can I get that file? Have looked on Amazon already. Thank you much!
Aloha!! Thanks for watching us! We use anywhere from 8" - 12"
Depending on the size of the wrist and the size of the loop- but it's easier to start with a longer length than you need in order to have the leverage to pull the wire around the wrist mandrel. Good luck and have fun!

Ok
Love the detail of the video. I would like to try this. I know you said 8" to 12" but I don't want waste. If I were to do a 6 wrist? 6 1/2 wrist ? 7 1/2 wrist ? 8 wrist? 8 1/2 wrist ? This wire is expensive. Could you share with me the sizes. Again, I love your presentation.
love this, thankyou..how long is your initial piece of wire please?
kelly atherton hi! I replied below! Hope you have fun making it! It's been one of our bestsellers in the store for years!
Check ✔️
Just saw the video and loved it. What gauge sure did you use? And was the wire aluminum?
hi! We are using soft 12 gauge sterling silver wire. We don't recommend aluminum, but you can definitely try it! Aloha, Ellie
Why have you not responded to any questions? I see other viewers have asked questions, and when I click the “View Reply from The Bead Gallery” link, there is nothing.
Hi I love your video. How much wire do you use for this bangle? Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
About a foot should do!
Is there a cheaper type of wire that you would recommend that would perform similarly to the Sterling, for practice?
We've done it with copper, and it has similar behavior to the soft sterling silver, especially after you hammer it. Good luck and Aloha!
Hi - I love this but I wonder how do you put on the bangle without distorting the shape?
Aloha Laurie, sorry for the late reply as I'm just seeing it now! If you use a thicker gauge of wire, like minimum 14 or 12 gauge (my personal favorites) AND hammer it to harden, it shall distort very little to none.
You can make it round and large enough to fit over your hand, or if it's oval you can add a catch or hook and eye, so that it'll clasp on, and not stretch larger. I hope this helps!! If not, it looks like I could do a live demo!! Lmk! aloha, jamie
How long do you cut the wire? I don't see the reply below. Also have you ever tried using silver fill?
Aloha!! Thanks for watching us! We use anywhere from 8" - 12"
Actually emery boards are supposed to move in only one direction too.
Thanks for that share, I did not know that! Aloha!!
Can you do this to shape an oval bracelet also?
You can! It's a little more tricky to make sure it fits properly, as the round shape is more universal to fit most wrist shapes, but definitely do-able!! Good luck!
You could also use a leather hammer.....
Where do you get your Sterling silver wire from?
We sell it in our store!! Call us at 808-589-2600 if you have questions about ordering! Aloha!
