- Using twist wire presents some challenges, and it can be tricky to keep your rope wire flush against your bezel. I'll walk you through the entire process of making a southwest style white buffalo ring from sterling silver and give you my tips for getting a clean tight look in your ring when working with rope. Plus, I'll show you how to address unforeseen challenges that arise, in this case, blemishes in the silver when you've already reached the final stages of creating your ring.
Show us how to make the "wings" on the ring your wearing!
Do you twist your own 18ga square wire you mentioned? Ive always used round wire never square for twisted rope sounds interesting thank you for such a great video
I didn't realize glue was used with the sawdust?
Great info, can’t see what you are doing too much of the time due to camera angle. Thanks!
wanna be friends ??

Maria thank you, Maria :)
This tutorial just taught me a thing or two! That sawdust trick just blew my mind. I also bought a couple burnishing tools because of this video. Thank you! Very grateful.
Hey! I am just starting up on silversmithing. I'm wondering what the best type of Solder to use is? In most of the videos I've watched it looks like the dead soft wire is mostly used. Also do you have in instagram page I can follow?
Hi Eden! Welcome to the silversmithing world! I hope you enjoy it. I don't know that there's a "best" type of solder. It's whatever works best for you. I've never used sheet solder, but some people swear by it. I use wire solder and I use Hard, Medium, Easy, an Extra-Easy depending on the application.
