Beautiful. How do you harden the wire for the earwires?

[@elsietamburelli8780]

Thank you

[@katethegreat2222]

Special:) thanku

[@whiskyyarn2234]

Clear tutorial thank you. You mention filing the edges of the wire for the hooks. What do you recommend for this?

[@JewelSchool]

Hey Cindy! You can use any flat metal file, but here's a link to the one we have in stock: www.jtv.com/product/eurotool-tm-student-file-set-includes-6-half-round-file-6-flat-file-and-handle/JST825?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@faye8011]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial. Can I ask, what's the difference in the gauges of Aluminium craft and Perm coloured copper wire (gold) wires? And what type you use for this project. Sorry, I'm living in Europe.

[@maryjames5655]

I've made similar design using Long heads pins.

[@sandraphillips9040]

Those are adorable 😍!!! What size beads did you use in this tutorial?

[@JewelSchool]

Hey Sandra! These are 3mm beads. Thanks for watching!

[@wendydupont256]

I just love these, thank you so much. Can I also ask you about the bracelet stack that you're wearing. Is it 1 bracelet or 3 separate, and are they moonstone beads in the bracelets?

[@JewelSchool]

Hey Wendy! This is a set of three individual opalite bracelets! Here is a link to the beads: www.jtv.com/product/opalite-appx-8mm-round-large-hole-bead-strand-appx-7-8-length/DKV001Z?mcid=XSOjsyt Thanks for watching!

@@JewelSchool thats great, thank you so much 😀

[@YM-zn2ts]

Those are very nice! Thank you for sharing your gift. But those you are wearing are boss! Did you make those?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Yvita! Boss is right! Alicia's yellow earrings are amazing and will go perfectly for this year's colors of the year, yellow and gray. Unfortunately, she did not make these earrings, but here at Jewel School, we love a challenge! Maybe this is a design we can attempt in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@mpatt5343]

I need help! I'm needing a collet for my battery-operated bead reamer...can you tell me where to get one or what I need to look for? Anyone that knows please let me know. I've searched the internet but I first need to know what to look for and where to get it would be helpful. Thanks!

[@jacquelineterella2235]

These earrings are nice but i just got to know about those stones on your bracelet . Are those moon stones? where can i get them?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Jaqueline! These are gorgeous opalite beads. Here is a link: www.jtv.com/product/opalite-appx-4-6-8-10-12mm-faceted-round-bead-strand-set-of-5-appx-15-16-in-length/JLW11080?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@debbiehandley2825]

Love watching ALicia, love earrings. Can you tell me what kind of beads her bracelet is made of are they moonstone?? Hope she has had Charlie by this time 3/9/21

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Debbie! This is actually opalite and here is a link direct from Alicia: www.jtv.com/product/opalite-appx-4-6-8-10-12mm-faceted-round-bead-strand-set-of-5-appx-15-16-in-length/JLW11080?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@okayyywhateverrr1935]

I tried making these and they are so pretty, however, you can see hammer marks in the little paddle ends. I tried not beating so hard, changing surfaces, etc. Will anything help? Can I use any 18g wire or only certain types? Please someone help 💗

[@JewelSchool]

Hammering is definitely a challenge! It's hard to figure out what the right strength is when striking the metal. Some wires, especially the plated ones, might show hammering more than wires like silver or gold. If you're not careful, hard hammering can even remove the plating. This probably won't help you, but honestly, just keep practicing. When you get those marks, sometimes that means your striking the metal with the outer edge of the hammer. Just try to get it directly under the flat or domed part. You can also try lightly file the spots that need to be leveled out.

[@MusicBlueTree]

First of all to clear some things up, I’m Mark Aoki’s daughter. I’m just using his iPad. Anyways, I love the bracelets Alicia’s wearing. Do you think you could do a tutorial about them? Thank you.

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! Say hi to your dad for us! This is a great idea for a future video and we will pass this along to Alicia. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!

Sorry but these posts have not been great since Susan left??

[@denisevaz4501]

Where did Susan go? I have been wondering where she has been.

[@JewelSchool]

Hey Denise and Deanne! Susan is still here! Be on the look out for some more video from her very soon!
