How to Make Silver Stud Earrings - Time Lapse with Voiceover

This is a brief look at how to make Silver Stud Earrings. There are no cuts, so you see the full-process, time-lapsed to give you the full picture. Plus, you'll be guided through the process with some of the tips and tricks I've learned on my journey of silversmithing. I also highlight two different methods you can use to attach earring posts to the backs of your stud earrings and show you how simple it really is when you know how to control the heat from your torch!

Drilling a hole in your bench pin & putting the earring post through is a great way to set stud bezels! Great video.

Don't stop, your channel is growing! Great to find you, learned a new tip from you already (using the tri-pod grate on the soldering board) a nice mid height tool. Thanks! Tip for you: after 12 professional years this book opened my eyes about heat and the soldering process, debunking myths, etc.: "Soldering Demystified", by Jeanette K. Caines.

Wait, what is that you were working on? A tree trunk? And what do you solder on? A mesh plate?

[@thebishopsilversmith5396]

Hi Ellen! I do have a tree trunk which I use for my stamp work and things like hallmarks and general hammering. The soldering and sawing takes place at my jewelers bench. If I remember correctly I used a steel mesh square to solder in this video. Now, I most often use a third hand to grip the excess silver for the base and heat from underneath. The steel mesh square tended to absorb too much of the heat when I was trying to get the solder to flow
