I would really appreciate a tutorial on the different types of wire eg, gold plated, sterling silver, etc. Which ones tarnish?

[@uluvnic]

That's exactly what I was wondering. I'm not confused by the size, but if I'm to sell jewelry at a higher price, it needs to last and not tarnish.

[@hanzky8880]

Thats what im looking too not the gauges but the quality😢

[@JewelSchool]

Hello! Thanks for asking about this. Unless wire has a tarnish-resistant coating added during manufacturing, all metal tarnishes over time to varying degrees. You can use polishing cloths to keep your metals polished! And here is a video about different kinds of jewelry-making wire :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnK9d5h3hp2cf6c?mcid=XSOjsyt

Great video. I have been making jewelry for years and kind of had this all in my head but it was good to hear it in a concise thesis.

[@samna789]

Please do a video on the different types of metals eg surgical steel, sterling silver, gunmetal, plated and which ones fade?

[@allisonkane338]

Thanks, Susan! Very helpful and succinct, all gauges explained nicely in one place. If only I'd had this resource five years ago! Jewel School just keeps getting better and better! And I've been watching the broadcasts since the beginning (the era of Wilma Flintstone large round beads☺, prior to guest artists and their techniques). PS, I appreciate these YT videos, as I don't do Facebook.

[@brendasmonsoondesign]

Thank you this was really informative. :-)

[@antoinette4568]

Hello...yes did for me is most important is the differences in wire metal types as was asked previously by others and a good GOLD plated quality wire that can be bought for jewelry thank you.

[@michalcohen3690]

so helpful! thanks :)

[@manderslove22]

Can you make a video on how to make your necklace? So pretty!!

[@15pratapreddy]

Thank you for the information. Silver plated, gold plated do tarnish overtime so how or what is needed to clean those tarnished silver plated or gold plated jewellery to bring back its shine? While cleaning those plated wires beads do come in contact, so will beads get damaged while cleaning those plated wires?

[@lilaalabed2527]

Thank you so much for all your teaching. I just don't quite understand the difference between open and ? connectors and why you would chose one over the other. Can you help? Thank you in advance.

[@Jana-xp5py]

Can you please tell me which is better, tinted copper (with silver colour) or non tarnish silver colour plated wire from artistic wire? and also which brand is the best for these wires Parawire or Artistic wire (or if you can recommend another brand I can find in local shops that would be great). And lastly, I bought a couple of wires that were stainless steel not knowing they were stiff and hard to work with, so I was wondering if using a one step looper would help make things faster and easier or would it just damage the plier? I bought a flush cutter and can already see dents and its not as sharp as it was when I first bought it. Do you think the same thing would happen to the one step looper? Thank you for your time! 💓💓

[@jyotiyadav8534]

Thanks for sharing it’s v helpful video From. which wire open eye needle made.? Because it’s too thin

[@sandraleamelendez9679]

Hi Just found your video..Love the way you explain the different guages.. May I make a suggestion? A dark background would really work better. We would be able to see your samples better. Have a nice day.. Thank you.. Sandy

[@sueneely7248]

Is there a wire you can crochet with?

[@christinacpl]

This was very helpful to me! Thank you so much!

[@pearllopez]

Thanks .

[@gurujiartsjewellery5576]

Good job dear.

[@TheKaswid1]

Love your videos. I completely new to jewelry making and your videos are my number 1 go to. I use silver plated wire to make the items in ur video. I am noticing nicks and scratch’s. When I try to buff out it seems to show a light copper underneath. You don’t use the plastic on ur tools. Wondering what I am doing wrong. And when I burnish an end it takes off the silver completely. Advice would be greatly appreciated

[@atlantasonson-chapman]

Omg thank you so much x

[@ChiarettaCroce]

Great infos for a beginner like me, but which gauge to crochet with? Tks.
