Susan you and your jewelry tutorials fabulous!!! I made a couple of brass bangles with the paddles will be making some with gemstones.Thank you Susan for sharing your jewelry designs❤
Thank you very very much for your tutorials. You’re very easy to follow along. Thank you for that I am just wondering what kind of a hole punch you are using to punch in your wire is it just a regular hole punch? Everybody uses to punch holes in paper? I tried finding a link to buy your whole punch, but I couldn’t find it thank you thank you very much.
@@JewelSchoolcan anyone tell me what kind of wire she used here? I know the gage but she never said if it was Brass, Parawire, or German Style wire? How did she get them so shiny? That’s another question… should we treat the wire with a high shine spray top coat or the stuff I buy from JTV so the wire won’t turn my wrists green (especially copper) it doesn’t like me. Lol.😂 but I was thinking like the Brass… will it keep it from tarnishing a lot? And the German style wire… will it keep that from tarnishing or chipping or whatever? Sorry about all the questions but I’ve been watching, learning, and buying from Jewel School for years now and have Loved, Learned and bought a lot of things,but these have been questions I have never known. Even after watching older videos, some have been answered but these last few I could never get the answer to . If you or anyone out there can help me, I would sooo appreciate it!!! Thank You to SUSAN and the whole JTV JEWEL SCHOOL TEAM
I have wondered how to predetermine wire length for years. Thanks for telling how you do that. Is it possible to do a video on just that~determining lengths for necklaces~bracelets~anklets? Also~ do these simple bracelets need to be annealed/pickled? I'm so a newbie but want to learn THE RIGHT WAYS from the start. I feel you might be the one to teach me/us. Thanks so much in advance.
I love adding bling or gemstones ! I’m new to wire bending so I get a little to much wire wrapped around the object , then I don’t like it ! But you always give measurements and it works out perfect or I’m a perfectionist and don’t trust myself ! Lol PS . Everything I’ve made of yours , I love ! Thank you for teaching and it looks like you really love what your doing! 🤟🏻❤️
Is there a reason that when you click the links in the description box for supplies it goes to a page that says we couldn’t find anything, is the shop closed??
Heart shaped lava rock gems and a lavender oil I put together I believe I got it from one of your video’s care packages ,from CVS I put together, looked like lavender oils on lava rocks that you were wire wrapping a birdcage ,so I kind of took a few of your ideas and put together!
Hi, which metal do you use? Does it get rust or dark with time? Or is it gold fill? Thanks for the classes... always making our Wednesdays more interesting! 😊
I agree with Holly Jaye could you please do a video of wire lengths I am also a newbie have waisted a great deal of wire due to not knowing how much to use so I guess, the new craft is enjopyable but it is becoming expensive for me to continue waisting as much as I do. I have loved all the tutorials I have watched so far & you make it achievable thank you
Hi Susan. I love your videos. Thank you so much. Would a wire rounder 1.2 mm attachment work on the 12 gauge wires. I a new to the jewelry making and I am just gathering all my tools. It’s a hobby that i started to do to relieve my stressful life from work. Thanks to your Tutorial videos❤️
@@JewelSchool Thanks Susan I will look into that. I started making the bangles that you taught and they are so much fun. My nieces loved them. They said it’s unique and stylish. Thank you so much😃
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS SUSAN! This one is especially one of my favorites! I actually made my first bangle bracelet right after watching this video about 2 or 3 years ago. With that being said….can anyone tell me what kind of wire she used here? I know the gage but she never said if it was Brass, Parawire, or German Style wire? How did she get them so shiny?

Thank You to SUSAN and the whole JTV JEWEL SCHOOL TEAM 💕
Hi . I love your tutorials & all the beautiful jewelry you make . I just have one question about the wire rounder . I’ve been looking for one but I got confused with all the supplies they have online . Please advise me on a good one . Thanks so much 🙏
Hi Miriam! Beadalon makes a great bead reamer with an interchangeable tip. Then you can buy a wire rounding tip and change it out. Basically, you'll have two tools in one. A quick online search for "Beadalon Bead Reamer" should get you what you need. Just be sure to look for the one where the tips can be changed out!
Enjoy watching all of your tutorials. My grandson is a 3rd-year university student and he said grandma can you make me some sterling brackets and jade gemstone rings. So I used you as my teacher. I have only done bead stringing for necklaces and bracelets. Do you have tutorials for men's jewelry? Thank you for your perfect instructions.♥️
We have a couple of videos, one of which is a unisex style bracelet. We hope to do more soon! Leather Ladder Bracelet: th-cam.com/video/0NbARMDDyJ8/w-d-xo.html Braided Leather Bracelet: th-cam.com/video/bmlNi-Gbjew/w-d-xo.html
Check out this video and see if this technique won't work for adding beads to your nugget bangle! No Solder Bangle with Beads th-cam.com/video/_uW8VCLUMEk/w-d-xo.html
The flat file is made bu eurotool and here are the specifics: Great for the beginner for precise filing and finishing when working with jewelry. Made of the cutting steel. Medium cut. 6 inches long.
Thank you so much! We have an amazing selection of nuggets at JTV -- www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=nuggets&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All?mcid=XSOjsyt Good luck and have fun!
Hi Terri! Unfortunately the 1-step looper will only loop wire from 18ga to 24ga. Susan uses 16ga in this particular project.Plus, you'll need to make a loop that is slightly bigger than what the 1-step looper or the big step looper can make, which is 1.5mm and 3mm, respectively. Susan is using the larger side of the acculoop plier, which at the smallest is about 5mm. Here is a link to an acculoop plier set. www.jtv.com/product/acculoop-plier-set-incl-precision-square-and-precision-round-nose-pliers/JSTKIT153?mcid=XSOjsyt Hope this helps!!
This is such a pretty design Susan, they indeed look addictive;) What type of 12g wire did you use that didnt lose it's color when hammering?? Copper? Thanks!
Your best bet is to use a solid wire like brass or copper or sterling silver or goldfill so you don't deal with plating flaking off and a different color wire showing. Try this: www.jtv.com/product/artistic-wire-in-brass-and-crimp-connectors-in-antq-brass-tone-kit-includes-12-14-16-gauge-wire/JSKIT0624?mcid=XSOjsyt
I am using the very same brand and size wire and the gold coating peels off no matter what type of hammer or block I use. How did you prevent this from happening?
Hola cómo estás ?? Recién encuentro tu canal y me gustado mucho, quisiera saber por favor, qué grueso tiene el alambre de hacer el aro para la pulsera.... Muchísimas Gracias ❤️🙏y Muchas Bendiciones 🙏
Knocking is more effective if done on a non vibrating surface. Even when you knock to make your bangle round n nice on the mandrel, a rubber surface on the hammer or mandrel would be gentle on the metal n might be more effective . Try it🙂
It’s amazing 😍😍😍 How to write mandrel . I tried to find it on google but it gave me anything but not this silver thing you use it for your bangel , help ❤️
Hi! Gold filled wire is a great option for someone who wants precious gold jewelry without the cost of solid gold. You run the risk of marring the plating when you hammer it, so just use your best judgement. You may want to hammer a small part of the wire as a test before making an entire project.
Hi!! Where do you find the gem stones you used on these braclets? All the ones I've found are so tiny! Like little chips, but I love the more 'nugget' shape! And I want to make these so badly!! Thanks for the help! P.S. as a baby jewlery maker I LOVE your videos
Hi Melissa! Here is a link to some of our larger gemstone beads. www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=large+gemstone+beads&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All?mcid=XSOjsyt We hope this helps!
I love your tutorials and information. I have been looking for a battery wire rounder (at jtv, amazon, etc) and cannot find one. Can you please tell me the sku# or item # and where to find it. Thank you so much.
Hi Cheryl. The base part of the tool is actually the Beadalon Bead Reamer. The "wire rounder" is an attachment for the Blue Base Tool. They have multiple attachments for different wire gauges. I found it on Amazon.
Hi Jacqueline, what a beautiful name you have! Most of the yellow wire used in our videos will be a gold tone or gold over sterling silver wire. This is just way more cost effective for you. You can get gold wire, but it will cost a lot more. We hope this answers your question and thanks for watching!
@@JewelSchool I'm sorry, you say gold tone. What metal is that. Brass or just SS with gold fill. Did you know that some jeweler's are using 9kt gold.. It is way cheaper, but I wonder what alloys that is mixed with? Any ideas? I wonder what's next, 5 kt ?... 😁
Heyy, Can I make the bangles without the hammer thing and the thing that makes the ends rounder (sorry I forgot the names) or is it completely necessary for the finished look?
Good question! Any size nuggets that fit on your wire will be fine! For the mandrel, if you don't have one, you can improvise with items around the home with items like rolling pins and soup cans. Not quite as precise but it will work in a pinch!
So I got all the supplies you suggested. I followed all your directions its so hard to hole bunch in the hammered metal, i even broke the hole puncher?? Please help I made one bangle and love it and want to make more. But unsuccessful the second time.

It’s new to me.
Thank you very much.
God bless you.
Susan great video!! What brand of hole puncher do u use? I can't find one to cut thru the 12 gauge wire
Absolutely I would use the stone! OK, I'd make one or two plain and then a couple with different stones. They look great stacked!
I love the way it came out.Nice thanks for sharing.Lucille
I'm inspired by your designs (again) can't stop spending on supplies after watching your channel - help!!!
A job well done,Susan👍

May I know the name of the wire you used? Is it brass or copper non tarnish wire with a gold coating?
Hi, which metal do you use? Does it get rust or dark with time? Or is it gold fill?
Thanks for the classes... always making our Wednesdays more interesting! 😊
I clicked on the link and it said 12 gauge yellow brass', from JTV.. nice findings listed there as well!
Love this design! Both are amazing!

Hi! Susan is using a non-tarnish, plated 12ga wire. It will have a base metal, and then it is plated to achieve the gold tone.
Hey Susan, can you please tell me where you purchased your oval mandrel. And also, what size are the gemstone nuggets? Thanks so much!
Good question! Any size nuggets that fit on your wire will be fine! For the mandrel, if you don't have one, you can improvise with items around the home with items like rolling pins and soup cans. Not quite as precise but it will work in a pinch!
@@JewelSchool That's awesome. Thanks. Would you still be able to tell me where you purchased your oval mandrel.
I got mine on eBay! They have lots.
Are the rounded parts of the bangles supposed to be flat after your hammer them on the mandrel?
No. Just hammer lightly to help texturize the wire and get it back into shape. Hammering will also harden the wire, making it a bit more sturdy!
What did you use to make the hole in the nuggets where did they come pre drilled I'd be afraid of breakage thank you please reply
Local Stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby have pre-holed nuggets to get started with.
Ini going to try it thank yuo
Where do you get you battery operated tools?
So I got all the supplies you suggested. I followed all your directions its so hard to hole bunch in the hammered metal, i even broke the hole puncher?? Please help I made one bangle and love it and want to make more. But unsuccessful the second time.
