Where can you get Silver to craft these? I want to eventually forge engagement rings and do stone settings, and I have yet to find the material I'm looking for
I'm an absolute beginner at this and your videos have inspired me. I have no tools or equipment yet so once I have collected the essentials I will look forward to starting with a beaded stacking ring. 😊
Hey lovely, That is amazing to hear! Make sure to let us know how you get on. We have a facebook group which is an amazing place to get advice from the jewellery community once you get started facebook.com/groups/jewellersacademy 💕 Jess xx
Great video! I took tour beginners and intermediate silver jewellery courses years ago, but didn't continue practising at home. This is a great way for me to get back into making silver jewellery. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Hello that's great, yes a good reminder and hopefully some inspiration to get making again. Thanks for watching and lovely to hear you came to London Jewellery School. What do you think you would like to make first? A ring?
A great course! I did have a jewelry class but had to leave school early. This is a wonderful refresher but also you've covered more than I had before. I do a lot of beading, mixed with tatting, needle weaving and macrame so I have a lot of those tools; this will just give me more to do.
Is there a reason you used the middle of the wire for this? I may have missed it in the video. It seems like if you’d wrapped your mandrel starting with the end of the wire and having a smaller overlap, there would have been enough wire cut off to make a second ring. Apart from that, i love your videos!
It helps to form a better circular shape if you use the middle of the wire and overlap the ends slightly. Rather than trying to form the shape using the very end of the wire. x
You need a jewellers pickle - something like this...www.cooksongold.com/Precious-Metal-Clay/Picklean-Safe-Pickling-Powder-500g-prcode-855-1063&query=pickle&channel=uk x
We get ours from Cookson Gold, they are a major supplier in the UK, in the USA Rio Grande is a good option (for any US friends that might see this). Happy Shopping!
Never put your solder material on the bottom of your work....you want it to flow down through the work using gravity to pull it through and evenly adhere to all surfaces. Soldering 101...i will now go find a different video to watch where the person instructing has a clue what they are doing.
Come and share your rings with me on social media @jewellersacademy! Thanks for watching and enjoy making, Jess

Hi Caroline, thank you so much, that means a lot. Glad you enjoyed this one. Did you have a go at making it yet? Jess x
Nice ring. Thanks.
Thank you :-)
Hi newbie here are you not supposed to quench the ring before pickle? I’m confused x
Hey lovely,
You can quench before you pickle to cool down the piece or you can set it aside until it cools down x
Love your videos and I subscribed do you have any tips on how to Start a business am new
Can you use these techniques on different types of metal aswell, or is this exclusively for silver?
Hi where did you purchase your beaded wire? Thank you :)

@@JewellersAcademy what do you do with the small pieces of wire? Will those be useful for anything else?
In what pickle do you put the ring? :)

What would be US equivalent of Glanol?
I'm not 100% sure sorry. Perhaps you could check with one of your bullion suppliers what they might recommend? x
Where would you say is the most cost effective place to buy sterling silver silver ?

Thanks for the feedback. All comments are welcome - there are always lots of different techniques in jewellery making, so great to hear your tips.
I came for a tutorial on jewelry making. 9 minutes in I'm watching a tutorial on how to use a torch.
I always like to walk through the tools and equipment first, it's important to have a good understanding. 😊
