I love love love your work! I hope you put out another video

This really does work!!! I thought I ruined my Pandora bracelet and charms. I stained it, cleaning out spoiled meat from my broken freezer. All that tried prior wasn't working. Then after trying your technique, it's all shiny and back to its original luster! Thanks for the great tip!!!❤🎉😂

Very informative stuff.

I wanted to thank you and your team for such great videos! They have helped me so much so I appreciate the time you guys took and making theses casting- cleaning! Amazing work!

Really cool, I like them😊. Just subscribe to your channel👍.

😂😂😂”…It might fall off the bottom…. It shouldn’t tho” 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤ that’s my world in a nutshell 😢😂❤

The best hack!

Muchas gracias por compartir la bendición del Padre del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo estén en tu vida y todos los tuyos gracias buen día bendiciones 😅😅😅😊😊😊Colombia cristo te Ama recibelo en tu corazón

It is absolutely fascinating to watch you use existing scraps of metal combining stones, metal scraps and your drawings to come up with your ultimate designs. Thank you so much for sharing your process!❤

Mary, wow, you’re amazing! I learned so much about soldering techniques. I love the way you thoroughly explain every step. The earring design is very cool and the idea of incorporating an element that has personal meaning is lovely. Thank you so much for this truly thoughtful, thorough, and informative demonstration! 😊

Gary is awesome but you should correct the spelling of Tai Chi - there is no h

I am learning wonderful skills from you and I thank you so very much 😊for

Have you ever used a soldering Wig?

Hi there, only just found you. I respect you as a jewellery maker and great setter, but I have a few tips for you. I have been making jewellery for over 30 years and I believe we can all learn from each other. Instead of using your funny bending pliers, which are almost guaranteed to mar your work, why don't you bend the shank round a mandrel, hold it down with one hand and tap it with a hide mallet. Also, when making a bezel for a cab, use a triblet or small mandrel to get the basic shape, lay the stone and your setting material on a block, and push the fine silver around the stone with the handle of your tweezers. You will find you will make much less marks on your work and, as the old adage goes, don't put marks on your work 'cos you'll only have to clean 'em up! All the very best. Phil from philongold.co.uk

Is it necessary to start with filing and then sanding? Or is filing not always required? Isn’t it easier to just start with coarse emery paper…files just leaves deep grooves which then need to be sanded anyway…

Mary, this is a fantastic series. Thank you for your clear step by step narrative as we watch you create these beautiful rings!

This is so helpful. I’ve got the metal and the tools but didn’t realize the potential for forging such interesting shapes. Thanks!

Such a clear lesson on stone setting intricacies! Thank you so much, Mary!

Always love your videos, Mary. Stunning rings. I work mostly with cabs, but have been lately setting faceted material. This video helped a great deal especially the tips on undercutting tube and prongs to account for the girdle thickness. As far as tube setting, I've heard people say that the top of the tube and the table should be almost even. On a 2mm stone when I have the setting less than half the level to the table, I can't get it to stay in the setting. Finally I'd love for you to show how to remove stones from settings, esp. thick hammered bezels.

Thank you. Brilliant.

I just love your work and theory…..❤❤❤❤❤🤗Autumn Michelle

you have a lovely aesthetic and this was a great lesson, thx

Good video. Thanks

Awesome series...I am a closet artist..meaning haven't really found my inner voice still experimenting. This series is very thought provoking - Thank You.

When you say,"boric acid and alcohol dip" what exactly do You mean? Borax and denatured alcohol, borax and isopropyl, and what percent???

I love it! such a special piece ❣

Gorgeous!

Great Video!

Wow! I love these earrings! Now I have to make my version!!

I'm so happy I found your channel!

Amazing

Okay, I'm off to the bench! Thanks.

hi mary great video . im making my pieces with delft clay and some of my designs have quite a bit of detail and because i use delft clay, my castings have a lot of texture i need to remove. what would you suggest i use to remove the sand texture while prepping for polish while not destroying the fine detail in my design? im currently using diamond bristle brushes but i find while they work, they take forever to remove the texture. can you suggest some sort of more aggressive brush type tool?

Really good :)

That was beautiful ❤❤❤

I can’t remember if I left a comment but thank you so much about using baking soda to help clean silver jewelry. It really makes a lot of sense because I use baking soda to help whiten my teeth once again thank you so much. Where is your studio? I’ve noticed in some videos that you are in a studio with students learning???? Autumn Michelle

Mary, what type of video camera are you using to to do your KZbin videos? I’ve been using my iPhone and it’s done very well for me. But I wanted to upgrade and I still have to stay within the budget. I mean my iPhone wasn’t cheap, but it’s also not the best thing for videoing if you really wanna be truly professional on KZbin.!!!! I’ve been looking at cameras lately, and I have actually found a Vivitar but when I talked with the technical team support, I found out it only videoed in 10 minutes segments. So that would be a lot of editing for me to do when I would transfer them over to my editing program anyway, if you can help appreciate it.. Autumn Michelle

You are one of the best, KZbin Jewelry instructors that I have watched over the course of four years!!!! Autumn Michelle

Wow 🤩 I’m so impressed with the way you think and design… Just the way you explain your vision of design is so easy for me to follow. I am a silver smith instructor. But you are just killing it on the teaching part. You are awesome. Would you please do more videos. Or do you teach any advanced courses? And I absolutely love the way you think the way you design. Like you said, think of it as a sculpture. And that’s exactly what you’re doing. You are not starting off with just the basics. You have found a way to incorporate design pieces completely in different orders. For beginner classes I start off teaching them how to make a bezel and then how to solder the back plate. And then of course, cleaning it up with your files or your sandpaper. Deciding if you want to add some decorative pieces around the bezel. And then you make the ring shank to be able to solder on the bezel, and then set your stone. I love how you’re just doing it in your own order. Oh I really and truly wished you would be doing more videos. Or once again, do you teach online courses??? Please let me know very interested… Autumn Michelle

Where is your KZbin????

I hope you will be able to answer this. What was the gauge of the Square wire that you used? I either missed it in the beginning or you didn’t mention it. I am a Silversmiths instructor. And I was intrigued with a jewelry, designer, Henry Stein in the 1950’s. My mother had a Designer piece from him and at that time I had no idea how famous he was and he actually passed away in the early 1970s anyway he had a Bracelet and I do not know his technique but the bracelets were forge the way I’m sure you did lots of twisting, but it was like spring. He’s super springy and I have no idea how he did that… Anyway, I ended up repurposing that designer bracelet, and this was before I was as knowledgeable in Silversmithing, as I am now. I regret destroying his work. But I did keep his specialty curved designs in place with the piece that I made for a client and I had added blue Mosque kyanite faceted gemstone for a pendant, and then the same gemstone for the earrings, my client was just thrilled and she loved the history of the vintage silver. I normally don’t listen through to a really long video but I enjoyed your teachings!!!! The way you explained forging was spot on. I do know how to forge with my hammers, but I want you to know I have watched some really good Silver Smith instructors. But no body that I have watched so far has done explaining as well as you did in this video. I’m talk texting, so I just pray that this doesn’t have any weird wording. I noticed you’re not doing any more classes. I really hope everything‘s OK with you. I would be very interested to learn where you took classes. I’m going to watch some more of your work. And your mother is going to love this pendant. Thank you so much, Autumn Michelle

Love the background music 🎼🎶

It's really works . Thanks 👍

I'll try this today

Thank you, Mary. You have a great teaching style: calm, informative and unafraid to show the mishaps or unanticipated results. I look forward to your new series.

Woh. I just cleaned my yellowish rings and all of them turned to silver right away. This is the best hack I've ever tried, easy breezy. Thank you so much for sharing.

What kind of water are you using there is a boiling water or cold water

What solution do you use to remove the investment or plaster of paris after casting?

Thank you Mary for all your well done videos, rich informations, love all your art work, keep it up
