You are simply AWESOME!!!. First time to your channel and I am hooked, you are truly amazing in every way, your voice is so soothing and gentle, your instructions are spot on - so much encouragement and genuine encouragement. Your pendant is truly beautiful, I will attempt to do it. You certainly have a fan!!. ♥️
What a beautiful comment to start my day with, Thank you!! I'm so glad you found my channel, Welcome!! ❤️🙏❤️ thank you for watching and for your enthusiasm! I'm hooked on you too! 🥳
I really like the elegant look and the more simplistic wrapped of this one. I will be trying this very soon. Thanks for your in depth tutorial. Beautiful craftsmanship!!!
Have fun, you all! Much love! I hope you love making Quinn! This is a one-wire pendant frame, using 16 inches of 18 gauge, square, soft Copper wire. The back tie wire is 16 inches of 22g half-round. This gorgeous teardrop shape Malachite cabochon is 26mm tall and 13mm wide and 2mm thick. You have enough wire to go a couple mm bigger in your stone if you want. The list of Materials and Tools is always in the first 10 seconds of my videos. Have fun! Ask me questions if you have them.

You have such an eye for detail. This is truly art! Each tiny twist and turn adds to the overall beauty of the piece. Here's hoping that mine turns out half as good as yours.
Glad it was helpful! I have an equal amount of comments from those who prefer the written instructions... we all learn differently so I'm glad you're enjoying my 'talkies'.🌷🙏❤️
Everyone learns from someone... all of this jewelry construction (for wire wrap even specifically) is from an ancient time, long before all of us, so I am grateful and blessed that I have the ability to share and teach and pass on the great Craft. At least my version of it ;) Thanks again, Madeleine!
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous wrap technique. I just purchased a beautiful pear shaped Labradorite that I'm going to try this with. Love it!
I am so grateful to come across your video! I loved watching this video, you made me laugh while giving the best demo I have ever seen. I appreciate your your time! Thank you. .....I really was able to see and understand how to do the beal. Subscribed ❤
Really enjoy watching the video 🙏🏻 great 🙏🏻 self independent 🙏🏻 hopefully we can save money and time itself as well as creative ! Mind with neutral memorable jewellery for gift or selling process 🙏🏻 thank you very much 🙏🏻 Namaste 🙏🏻
My jewellery making journey started out repairing my own broken items. It has progressed to gifts for family and friends. It is such a joy creating adornments that are personal and unique. Each piece is a discovery and often exceeds my expectations though there have been a couple of disappointments. I have not even thought to try wire wrapping yet. The simple lines of your graceful design caught my eye and piqued my curiosity. I was hooked. You have created such an elegant piece that is stunning. The tutorial was compelling and inspirational. I can’t wait to try it out. I suspect it is not going to be easy as you made it look. Thank you so much for such a clear tutorial.
Thank you for this beautiful comment, Antonia! I am happy you found my channel and I'm very happy that my tutorial inspires you. I appreciate you being here to create with me! Have a wonderful day!
🤣🥰 I get you, but I'm glad you're warming up to square wire... you can do most of my designs with round or square frame wires, they should work for both. Enjoy!🙏🌷❤️ thanks for watching!
I have only round wire. Would it be possible to use that? It’s funny, I didn’t realize how soothing your voice is until an ad came on! A wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
This is super nice. I don't have square wire, can you perhaps to a tutorial using a round wire if that is possible? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
Elegant simplicity! I could see a man wearing this. Can you use round wire on this? I’m a beginner and I can’t seem to keep the wire straight. I’m heavy handed with the wire. 😊
Thanks so much! Yes, you can use round wires with this build too, round tends to be a bit more wiggly so give yourself patience. Try to go a bit easier on the hands, in time it will help you. Thanks so much for watching!
I have so many thin stones that this will be wonderful with! Can't wait to try it and add some of my own touches to it! Thanks for a clear, well explained tutorial.. quickly becoming one of my favorite wrappers!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for this lovely comment, Jeannie, enjoy making them! There's plenty of room in a lot of my designs for you guys to add your own touches and make it unique to you and your style, I love that you're excited about this one! Have fun!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry The last wrap of the 18 gauge wire really threw me for some reason. But, This is my first crack at doing this, and I tried using this Argentium wire instead of copper, and noticed that you use copper most all the time, for the tutorials anyway, and this other wire is pretty rough to manhandle even being Dead Soft, so I am going to try another wrap with some thinner copper. Plus the stones I'm using are not really cabochons, they are oval opals and odd shaped which I think is making things a little more difficult, but I rarely give on trying, so, just a matter of getting used to doing I think. Well see.
Good morning, Bill... yes, I have Argentium but find it a bit harder at dead soft. Copper is a nice metal for not only design but also because I think it feels the closest to Sterling and GF wire too. I also use Copper because I can't afford to do all the tutorials in Sterling and I'm a bit shy of it right now too, so there's always copper and brass in my studio in abundance because I used to teach students in person, classroom style, so I have tons of it. Now that I know your stones... can I suggest your Membership video for Opals... Part 1 th-cam.com/video/C15ZADKR1dQ/w-d-xo.html Part 2 th-cam.com/video/02S3HdFD5l4/w-d-xo.html The other frame that will sit your Opals nicely might be Alice's Amethyst... Here is a frame variation... th-cam.com/video/i5v-4QMM0uc/w-d-xo.html Here is Alice part 1 th-cam.com/video/d3IlnqeeMLY/w-d-xo.html Part 2 th-cam.com/video/n_aICZT4JZM/w-d-xo.html Let me know if these help you, Bill, thank you!
Thank you I will watch them and see what I can learn there, and need to find some more copper, as I can't afford to keep messing up this expensive wire!!
Well, I followed you tutorial I had to do it twice because the first one was really bad and I got to the second one and discovered that I miss calculated the length of my wire so I had to fake a back and if I could post a picture I would, and show you what I did then after I LOS and sanded it and polished it and went to take a picture of it. I realized the bale is crooked and I am going to cry. I do thank you for the tutorial. It’s beautiful and I really liked it.
Thank you for your comment, Peggy, I'm sorry you were stressed... I had to read your comment a few times... I imagine, that if you used the same amount of wire... 16 inches and if you ran out of wire and had to add wire to the back... how big was your stone? In my vision of this and because of the way this pendant is constructed... I want to ask... was your stone like 3 or 4 inches long? Please let me know so perhaps I can help make the next one easier on you by helping calculate the amount of wire you need? Hugs you... I think it's probably beautiful and I do wish I could see a picture of it. Thanks for writing and I think you should pat yourself on the back for finishing it all the way through and for improvising the back! This is how a determined Artist works when she's learning... so I hope you'll feel better soon and let me know if I can help.
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry The problem wasn’t the calculation on your end the problem was is I can’t retain two seconds the amount of wire and so I cut 16 instead of 18 inches don’t ask me why I just did but it came out very lovely except for the crooked part which I finagled sort of and added a bead and widen the top of the bale by separating the wires from each other. I posted it on Facebook looking some for some advice on what to do for the bale in the process of receiving answers came up with the bead and the splitting of the bail. Several people noticed that it was your tutorial which I forgot to mention in my post sorry mainly because the back of mine is completely different than yours and I had to explain that to them. I’m sorry you couldn’t understand my original post that’s what you call conscious streaming while you dictate into the computer and then I didn’t proofread it my bad. 😂
No worries, I do that. I just saw it! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous work! I think you did an outstanding job on it! Yes... people do recognize several of us who share tutorials, so it's always polite to mention where the design came from as well as good business as it's a win win for maker and designer. Thanks again for sharing!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry I do generally give recognition and thanks to the creator of the tutorials. I have to honestly say that this is the first time that I did not, and I don’t know why, because that’s not who I am. I think I was distraught over having shortened the piece and having to create something different, and then to find that it was crooked that I was just not thinking correctly. so I do apologize for not giving you credit for that beautiful tutorial because it is lovely and I’m getting ready to make another one as soon as I get off this computer.
It does work with round wires too, Alis, they might 'shift' a bit more because they are Round, but just work them the same way as you see me do the squares. This is a simple design so your Round at Half Hard should be fine also... but maybe harder on your hands! The 'spring back' from the wire will be more at HH, but I'm sure if you have it, you're used to it, so it's probably fine for your hands. Have fun!
Thanks, Tammie, I sold a few of these a couple years ago... this capture technique is 'out there' in the wire wrapping world, but my design here... maybe 2 or 3 years old. I've been wrapping for over 15 years and teaching in one form or another for almost a decade. Thanks again!
Hi, I am new at this and have larger bumpy stones to work with. I am older and don't have all the finger strength. Is there an easy video you have that can help me get started. I'm not ready to give up. Thank you
Hi Susie, thanks for reaching out! Given I don't know what your stones actually are, I tried to look up some that might just work for bumpy stones in general.... let me know if any of these videos might help you... Herkimer wrap (you don't have to weave the sides, you could just leave them bare wire too) th-cam.com/video/o29TolrbU0g/w-d-xo.html Maybe this simple traditional frame? th-cam.com/video/uGROtWlFj9Q/w-d-xo.html This is another simple one but a little fancier bale... th-cam.com/video/NTUN8YZCEgw/w-d-xo.html I hope these help! Thanks again for reaching out, let me know how you do.
I know you had mentioned some time ago that there was a particular wrap that you had for stones that were reversible but can't recall what that was, do you?
Probably not any time soon, I'm sorry about the audio, you can turn the CC on and read along with the low volume, it might help for now. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Patti, I will work on the sound... meantime, you can turn your subtitles on so it might help see my words when my voice gets low. The settings are in your video player, in the lower right hand corner. I hope that helps you! Thank you for watching my tutorials!
I'm sorry, I disagree: you make beautiful jewelry, but your "whispered" voice is more suitable for a meditation video than a maker tutorial...maybe because it's not my language, so I have trouble following this tone of voice..! Let's be clear: I don't mean to be offensive, sorry! I just have a really hard time! Anyway, it's okay, I'll adapt somehow! Thanks for your tutorials, you're very good! 🙏
@Maggioretom thanks for your honesty Maggi, I have made my voice louder in more recent videos. I do tend to be soft spoken, but am working on it. I appreciate you very much for watching!🙏❣️
Please take this as some constructive criticism not me being a TH-cam troll. Please backup your video. Your filming too close. I can barely hear you. Is Freddy Krueger's in the house😂? your hands are constantly covering up the piece. I love you videos you're very talented. I would very much like to do more of your videos, but I get very frustrated because of the way you film them.
You are kind in your delivery, and I appreciate your observations. I am Ancient, so I can relate. Thanks for joining me today! Freddy in the basement and I are ... learning to cohabitation. 🙏🧐👋❤️
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry God Bless You!!! I was really afraid I'd be booted gor this. I want you to know this took me an hour, and a half to write. I still messed it up. I should have said in the first line. " Is it possible that you could please pull back the camera on your videos a little bit. I think it might be better to see the project. Once again I'm sorry for the criticism. Whether it's vindictive or friendly criticism is still criticism. I've learned at work to take constructive criticism, and not think to myself, "Why is this person picking on me, am I really that bad". The woman at work have taught me not to take things so personally, and they've done a good job. That's why I thought I could do a good job with you, and I hope you understand this comes from the heart. I did my first complex piece with you unfortunately I still couldn't get it to work LOL.
You really don't need to be sorry for anything, I always appreciate and receive kind honesty. For some, if I move the camera back, I will hear that they can't see enough... so I try to find the sweet spot, but we are all unique in our eyes. I appreciate you and please, don't worry yourself so much when typing me ;) I'm a nice person. I don't boot people for honesty, especially when delivered with a kind heart. xoxo
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry 😃🥰 I'm finishing up my projects, so I can concentrate on doing a couple more of your videos. I get a real rush when I execute one of your projects, even when not perfect. Your teaching, and projects are very inspiring. I can picture the project of yours in my head. It has 2 videos, but the name has left me. I know I saved it. Well I've been dying to do it. Now that I know if I get stuck you're going to answer my questions. I think I'm going to go for it. I just have to finish my 16 projects. It's like homework now, it's no fun
Yay! I will be here when you are ready for project 17 ;) Thanks for watching and enjoying my tutorials. I will be here also, when you have questions. Have a great day!

You can do this all the same with round wire Nita. Have fun!
I would love to see broach designs, please,also.
Thanks for the idea! I will keep this in mind for future wraps, thanks for watching and for commenting!
I have really been wondering how they do this type of wire wrap! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Finally I can have a chance to try it!

Wow, you truly provide great inspiration! Make it look easy, but it’s fiddly to get it so even. Lovely!
Thanks, Deb, it is fiddly to start, but should feel very stable once you get it all done and tied up in the back. Thanks for watching! 🙏❤️
Gorgeous! thank you for teaching us. 😍😍💖💖 The mini is outstanding too 😍😍💖💖

Several people noticed that it was your tutorial which I forgot to mention in my post sorry mainly because the back of mine is completely different than yours and I had to explain that to them. I’m sorry you couldn’t understand my original post that’s what you call conscious streaming while you dictate into the computer and then I didn’t proofread it my bad. 😂
No worries, I do that. I just saw it! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous work! I think you did an outstanding job on it! Yes... people do recognize several of us who share tutorials, so it's always polite to mention where the design came from as well as good business as it's a win win for maker and designer. Thanks again for sharing!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry I do generally give recognition and thanks to the creator of the tutorials. I have to honestly say that this is the first time that I did not, and I don’t know why, because that’s not who I am. I think I was distraught over having shortened the piece and having to create something different, and then to find that it was crooked that I was just not thinking correctly. so I do apologize for not giving you credit for that beautiful tutorial because it is lovely and I’m getting ready to make another one as soon as I get off this computer.
Great artists who are "into it"... sometimes forget when they post, I understand that too... and I do appreciate that you shared it.
Love this! ❤ Thank you.
Thank ypu!🌷🙏❤️
This is so beautiful. Thank you for such a great tutorial. I'm going to try this one really soon.💖
Thanks so much 😊 Enjoy making it and thanks for watching my channel tutorials!
Love it! Looking forward to creating one! Thank you!♥️
So glad you love it, Ann! Hugs hugs!
Love it ! Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for watching!🌷🙏❤️
Love this Design, thank you! Can this work with round and half hard wire for the base wire?
It does work with round wires too, Alis, they might 'shift' a bit more because they are Round, but just work them the same way as you see me do the squares. This is a simple design so your Round at Half Hard should be fine also... but maybe harder on your hands! The 'spring back' from the wire will be more at HH, but I'm sure if you have it, you're used to it, so it's probably fine for your hands. Have fun!
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry Thank you so much! Will try soon 🥰
❤❤❤
Simply elegant! How long did it take you to perfect this design? So Gorgeous 😍
Thanks, Tammie, I sold a few of these a couple years ago... this capture technique is 'out there' in the wire wrapping world, but my design here... maybe 2 or 3 years old. I've been wrapping for over 15 years and teaching in one form or another for almost a decade. Thanks again!
Hi, I am new at this and have larger bumpy stones to work with. I am older and don't have all the finger strength. Is there an easy video you have that can help me get started. I'm not ready to give up. Thank you
Hi Susie, thanks for reaching out! Given I don't know what your stones actually are, I tried to look up some that might just work for bumpy stones in general.... let me know if any of these videos might help you...
Herkimer wrap (you don't have to weave the sides, you could just leave them bare wire too)

Maybe this simple traditional frame?

This is another simple one but a little fancier bale...

I hope these help! Thanks again for reaching out, let me know how you do.
I know you had mentioned some time ago that there was a particular wrap that you had for stones that were reversible but can't recall what that was, do you?
I found some!
What size ball chain did you use, not the length but diameter?
Thanks, Christy! This ball chain is 1.5mm in diameter.
Hi can you LOS Malachite?
Hi Mildred, I have done it before without issues, so my guess on your stone is probably so.
👍👍👍👍💗💗💗
Any chance you could reload this with the volume turned up? I can barely hear you.
Probably not any time soon, I'm sorry about the audio, you can turn the CC on and read along with the low volume, it might help for now. Thanks for watching!
I love this but it is hard to hear you.
Thank you, Patti, I will work on the sound... meantime, you can turn your subtitles on so it might help see my words when my voice gets low. The settings are in your video player, in the lower right hand corner. I hope that helps you! Thank you for watching my tutorials!
I can hardly hear you.
I'm sorry, I disagree: you make beautiful jewelry, but your "whispered" voice is more suitable for a meditation video than a maker tutorial...maybe because it's not my language, so I have trouble following this tone of voice..! Let's be clear: I don't mean to be offensive, sorry! I just have a really hard time! Anyway, it's okay, I'll adapt somehow! Thanks for your tutorials, you're very good! 🙏
@Maggioretom thanks for your honesty Maggi, I have made my voice louder in more recent videos. I do tend to be soft spoken, but am working on it. I appreciate you very much for watching!🙏❣️
Please take this as some constructive criticism not me being a TH-cam troll.
Please backup your video.
Your filming too close. I can barely hear you. Is Freddy Krueger's in the house😂?
your hands are constantly covering up the piece.
I love you videos you're very talented. I would very much like to do more of your videos, but I get very frustrated because of the way you film them.
You are kind in your delivery, and I appreciate your observations. I am Ancient, so I can relate. Thanks for joining me today! Freddy in the basement and I are ... learning to cohabitation. 🙏🧐👋❤️
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry God Bless You!!! I was really afraid I'd be booted gor this.
I want you to know this took me an hour, and a half to write. I still messed it up. I should have said in the first line. " Is it possible that you could please pull back the camera on your videos a little bit. I think it might be better to see the project.
Once again I'm sorry for the criticism. Whether it's vindictive or friendly criticism is still criticism. I've learned at work to take constructive criticism, and not think to myself, "Why is this person picking on me, am I really that bad".
The woman at work have taught me not to take things so personally, and they've done a good job. That's why I thought I could do a good job with you, and I hope you understand this comes from the heart.
I did my first complex piece with you unfortunately I still couldn't get it to work LOL.
You really don't need to be sorry for anything, I always appreciate and receive kind honesty. For some, if I move the camera back, I will hear that they can't see enough... so I try to find the sweet spot, but we are all unique in our eyes. I appreciate you and please, don't worry yourself so much when typing me ;) I'm a nice person. I don't boot people for honesty, especially when delivered with a kind heart. xoxo
@@PerfectlyTwistedJewelry 😃🥰 I'm finishing up my projects, so I can concentrate on doing a couple more of your videos. I get a real rush when I execute one of your projects, even when not perfect. Your teaching, and projects are very inspiring.
I can picture the project of yours in my head. It has 2 videos, but the name has left me. I know I saved it. Well I've been dying to do it. Now that I know if I get stuck you're going to answer my questions. I think I'm going to go for it.
I just have to finish my 16 projects. It's like homework now, it's no fun
Yay! I will be here when you are ready for project 17 ;) Thanks for watching and enjoying my tutorials. I will be here also, when you have questions. Have a great day!
