I found this video more informative than any other video I have watched. She not only shown me things I was doing wrong but also other things that made me more interested in using more than just stretch cord. Patty was a real joy to watch and listen to. I usually get bored quickly, but I had to watch till the end. I also bookmarked it to be able to watch again any time.

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@sandranething9382]

I loved watching Rose. Everything that happens at home, happened to her. It gave me confidence. Perfect heading does not happen. We drop things, lose items, and have to start all over. Thank You!

[@FireMountainGems]

Absolutely! You have to embrace the imperfection!

[@beckyjohnstone1610]

I was told sterling silver crimps were the most secure by a trusted store. They really are the most secure. Well worth the cost.

[@FireMountainGems]

The sterling silver crimps are great! 😊

[@donnamoore7554]

Thank you so much. Great video. I have no experience but learning is so much fun and with every video I feel more comfortable. ❤

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks for watching!@@donnamoore7554

[@donnamoore7554]

I was watching a special on designing rings for diamonds. Something I had never heard before is that whatever you use for the ring, white gold, silver…. The main diamond should be set in platinum because it’s the strongest. I thought it was interesting.

[@dalemills7926]

Definitely not true..this grandmother has made jewelry for 50 years..tube ones are the most sturdy..not necessarily silver but tunes always are best

[@pollynelson4138]

I really like the way you teach us. Yes we are watching!

[@Hesteforstanddk]

I know this is an older video. But I found it now and I would like to thank you for having my jewelry looking considerably more professional from today! Besides I enjoy your sense of humor a lot. Made me stick with the video until the end without allowing anything to interrupt me😊

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad we could be helpful! 😊

[@azurabrumme5644]

Thank you for the video! I make my own bracelets, so learning new ways to improve my jewelry is a must!

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you for watching the video! So glad we were able to give you some helpful information! 😊

[@AngelPowell-k7s]

I love your personality when doing these videos!! I just starting making jewelry a few months ago with decoupage and wood. But this week I started using the gemstones. This video has been so informative and detail oriented that I am more at ease about branching out to make more jewelry pieces for my business. Thank you so much!!

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you so much for watching! Best of luck on your jewelry-making journey! 😊

[@kchikhal]

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you for watching! So glad we could help!

[@shirleyisett9146]

Great video. I've been jewelry for a couple decades now and I learned something new. Love the idea of the straws and spacer for floating necklaces!

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

I am watching eleven months after your Live but it is perfect timing for me! 😊 I am getting ready to figure out what to order and your crimp tutorial was so helpful! I have a few magnetic clasps because I personally need those since I have issues with other clasps, but, yes the magnet wants to stick to the needle nose pliers! 😮 What a challenge. But worth it!

[@FireMountainGems]

11 months late is the perfect time to watch this! 😉 So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@leezaam4294]

Thank you Rose. I love your show, I live in Wallabadah NSW Australia. You will never be alone because I will always be with you. xxxx Lee Page.

So helpful. I learned alot. Thanks

[@lauriepradoyoung5083]

It's almost Aug 10 in a few mins. I love your nails too. I did a floating necklace years ago but I didn't know that is what it was called. I don't remember the type of wire but what i used was a golden wire that seemed like thread. With my skin tone it made the beads look like it was on an invisible wire. I really enjoyed watching your video you sound so fun.

[@lauriepradoyoung5083]

I also like the invitation from patty as well. I would have never thought of using staws.

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

[@susanstancliff2937]

Im happy with all this information but I have only one question. What size of wire guardians do I use? You gave all the information for the crimp tubes, crimp covers and beading wire but I don’t know the size of wire guards or guardians I should use. Once I find out I can purchase these products! You’re very personal and good with teaching! You look like you love jewelry making! Thank you!

[@FireMountainGems]

Hello! It will depend on the size of wire that you are using. Our most popular wire protectors have an inside hole diameter of 0.5mm, and will accommodate wire up to 0.019 inch in diameter. We also have other sizes available. You can shop our selection of wire protectors here: firemtn.co/4dxvhny
