Silversmithing from Scratch! Making a Quartz Crystal Pendant and Ring Using Scrap Silver!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- In this one, we prepare for the holiday season by making some gifts for Alexis and my niece! We start out by taking a quartz crystal that my niece found and turn it into a necklace for her! After that, we make a "Colorwork" ring for Alexis; these rings are designs to keep yarn separated while knitting colorwork projects like hats and socks! I am extremely low on silver at the moment, so I thought it would be fun to make both of these projects using only scrap silver! I think they came out pretty well, and they were both big hits at Christmas! Let me know if you all would be interested in seeing more jewelry and silversmithing videos; It is something I do on a literal weekly basis so I'd be more than happy to show you all more! I hope you all enjoy, and I will have another one out very soon! Happy New Year!

You blow me away!!!! How romantic of you to use your many talents to make things for your sweetheart
I think that it would be great if you add silversmithing videos. You have a natural talent I think you should add carving as well. I love all of your videos.
Yes, more silversmithing please.
You are quite the artisan!!!!! I enjoy watching you!!!!!!
Fabulous! Love when you work with metal. Ive also enjoyed making jewelry for the last 20 some years ❤️
☀️Little Jewelry Hack Tip:
When trying to shape tiny bezels, put some tape on your table, sticky side up. This will help hold your stone in place while you wrap the bezel around it. My fingers have lost small motor skills and I’ve come up with all kinds of hacks. 😂
I’m sure the knitting ring was an awesome present. Super thoughtful ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to more silversmithing vids in the future.
Stay Crystal 💫

Happy New Year, Theo and Alexis!
So wicked man , I do not mind the long vids.
That is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful work
You are welcome Theo! The quartz crystal pendant was so thoughtful. Making a crystal that she found personally, into a necklace for her, is such a thoughtful gift. And the ring for Alexis is really cool. I hope it works because it is such a cool gift and thoughtful! Its amazing! Happy New Years Theo! May the New Year bring more prosperous times for us all. And my wish for you and Alexis is for Health, Wealth, and Happiness to be yours the whole year through!
Super cool! I was doing a search on how to bezel and add a bail to make a crystal necklace and bingo 😊
Yes more please
Dang! You make it look so easy!
You make this look so easy. And it was so beautiful and also useful. Sorry that the box of rocks I sent from az got lost. Happy new year to you and the doggies.
Very informative and interesting video! Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year!
Happy new year mister and hope you dind a LOT of beutiful rocks this year
* Happy New Year!! Love your Things & What-nots.. My Fave was the Trilobite.. Love your use of ALL your wire..
Yes love it!
Groovy!
Loved it, awesomeness
That crystal is BEAUTIFUL!!😍 And that ring will come in handy. I'm sure Alexis will love both of them. Well done!! 🥰👍
by using that much solder you are creating impureties in the silver because of the higher copper percentage in solder wire. this will make your jewelry go dark and splotchy faster.
Happy New Year! Love your videos!
That Haunted Ridge material had me drooling, how very kind of Largent45 to share! You are such a cool uncle Theo, and the ring is perfect for Alexis! Please let us know how much they loved them. Happy New Year to you, Alexis and your sweet pups, may your coming year be filled with joy and peace!
Happy new year thanks for a great video even threw some lacy rocks and fossils in 👍
More! Thank you
Very nicely done!
That necklace turned out pretty cool I'm sure she would love it
They both turned out awesome. You will have to let us all know how they liked their gifts and if the ring works the way Alexis wants it too. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Stay safe.
I enjoyed watching your video.
The Pendant was especially beautiful. I would love to learn to do this. Can’t wait for the next project!
Great job on both projects Theo. Just received my firts Montana agates this week, they are amazing.
Happy new year to you, Alexis and the doggies.
You are a man of many talents, sir. I specifically enjoyed your use of various lengths of wires...I make jewelry myself, so any of the projects with lapidary or pendant making gets me excited to watch. The silversmithing was quite enjoyable, thank you for sharing your process and tips. Your videos are always giving me ideas on how to expand my hobby and maybe someday actually selling some pieces. Can't wait to see the next one!
That ring was a really cool project Theo!😊 I hope she likes it!❤️
Love that you made a necklace with the crystal that she found. You gift ideas are super. Let us know how good that ring works. You definitely put some thought into these gifts.
I loved watching the silversmithing! Both projects were great!❤️🤗🐝
It’s been so cool to see all the Haunted Ridge stuff from Lisa showing up on all the channels. I just tried a little experiment heat treating that material… I hope it goes well… not sure if I had the fire hot enough long enough but there’s a video coming. I’m trying to get it to turn pink… ok I’ll shut up and try to learn something. I really want to make a necklace pendant but it’s something for the future
Happy new year everyone!
That was awesome....the ring I sure hope I works....Don't forget to do your paten....please....
Happy New Year....To you both 🙏💜
TRILOBITE!! So cool. I would love to see more silver smithing! Id also like some recommendations for people who are interested in getting started in the hobby too! Thanks Theo!
Your talent knows no bounds! Great fun to watch! 🎉❤
So cool the knitting ring
Two or three colours at once sure can be trouble
She’s gonna love it!
Great job on the pendant too!
I'd love to see more silversmithing! Great thoughtful gifts in this video.
DUDE! Love that crystal pendant! Amazing work as always!
You are a very talented jewelry maker! I really enjoy watching you work with silver and could watch a lot more of it. Thank you for explaining the techniques along the way. It would be cool to see Alexis using her ring. Happy New Year! 🎉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy new year
Awesome package from Lisa, she really does Rock! Really cool demo video and both amazing gifts. I'm sure that they both loved them. I think your silversmithing, jewelry making videos are great! Even though I know nothing is as easy as you make it look.😉 Just curious, did you get the rock calendars made? I know it wasn't too long ago that you asked who would want to buy one, but I just thought of it earlier today. Thanks for sharing more of your talents with us Theo@✌️🤠🤘
More silver smithing
Theo show more silversmithing and do you recommend any book on silversmithing !
Theo-rethorically? Anyway interesting video..
Wonder if they have a store
Did we ever get an update on how she liked the ring?
Theo, do you have a place you trust, where you buy your silver?
What did you use to make your ring for the finger
I have a few small cabs I want to have set in cuff bracelets. Would I be able to send you some stuff and some scrap silver and you make something? I do not know where I can do that near me. Of course would also pay.
You skipped over drilling the hole in the crystal and matching the post with the hole.
