Creating a Hammered Sterling Silver Teardrop Necklace with Wire-Wrapped Pyrite Gemstone | ASMR

[@anditippie5923]

I really love your videos! And this time of so much noise and so many different songs and so much talking in music, I find your videos to be very soothing and informative! Thank you for sharing your process and taking us along on your new journey!

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad you find my videos soothing and helpful. It means a lot to know that the content resonates with you, especially in such a busy world. I’m grateful to have you along on this journey with me! 😊

[@Gumby25D]

Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely love this simple design. It’s the type of thing you could wear with a white t-shirt and jeans or a black dress. I will be trying this one for sure.

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you love the design, and I totally agree-it’s one of those versatile pieces that works with anything. Good luck with your creation! 😊

[@michaeltrimble7680]

I love this style! I got into rockhounding recently and want to make jewelry with my finds, and this is great inspiration!

[@justynasart]

Thank you! I’m glad you love the style! Rockhounding sounds like a great adventure, and I hope you find lots of inspiration for your jewellery! ✨😊

[@sarajanehaven]

Very elegant! I love the pyrite and silver together. Thanks for sharing this design.

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like the pyrite and silver combination. It was a pleasure to share this design! 😊

[@calliemyers9469]

Amazing tutorial, I loved it... Wow! :)

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@SallyStearns]

I was the very first artist to create jewelry in this style on Etsy in 2008! (Out of Bozeman, Montana) Now it's huge and global!

[@justynasart]

Thank you for sharing! It’s great to hear about your early contributions to this style. It’s amazing how timeless techniques like this have evolved and grown globally. I love how this design has resonated with so many jewelry makers and enthusiasts around the world. 😊🌍

This process is also known as ‘cold forging’. There is a gentleman online who teaches a seemingly simple technique to create a unique wrap for larger stones and cabochons. In the process of creating the wrap, you learn to manipulate the wire using the chasing hammer. By striking the outside perimeter, you can reduce, or close a circle of wire. And, by striking the inside you can widen or open the circle.

[@justynasart]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻💜😊

Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻😁

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

I love the design. Also enjoyed seeing the whole process from creation to packaging. Thank you for sharing.😊👍 Would be great seeing your diploma process too.

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and the process. 😊 I’m definitely planning to share my diploma journey too! It might be a bit of a mix though, since I sometimes forget to turn on the camera or end up out of frame - I get so focused on making, especially when it’s my first time trying something! 😅 But I’ll do my best to capture as much as I can!

[@sandrabagayas3377]

Beautiful 😍

[@justynasart]

Thank you 🙏🏻 🩵🥰

[@Sebastian-j5l9j]

Perfect 👌

[@justynasart]

Thank you 🤓🙏🏻

[@marcytroxelmusic]

Hello Justyna!! Love your work as always. Question as im just learning, what size/kind of wire are you using? Thank you ❤

[@justynasart]

Hello! 👋🏼 I’m using round sterling silver wire 16ga and 24ga, soft. 😊

[@marcytroxelmusic]

THANK YOU ❤

[@Michal-ke6lu]

I just ordered the chase hammer. Can someone tell me if I have to buy the Bail Pliers tool? The one that has circles.

[@justynasart]

You don’t need to buy the bail pliers. You can use any hard, round object with the right circumference to shape the wire for your teardrop pendant. It’s a simple way to get the desired shape. Happy crafting! 😊

[@Michal-ke6lu]

@@justynasart thank you for letting me know! I will just find a round object. I wasn't sure if you would read my comment so I asked the viewers. I hope you, Hachi and Kofi have a great day!

[@andreak001]

Hi! I admire your style! I was wondering what diploma courses you’re taking online? Thanks- love your work and videos!😊

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much! I’m doing a beginner silver jewellery diploma with Jewellers Academy - it’s been an exciting journey! I share more about it in my recent videos, and you can also find details here: www.jewellersacademy.com/. Thanks again for watching!

[@sundeviil6I9]

How would you wrap itif the stone didnt have a hole?

[@justynasart]

I’ve tried wire wrapping stones without holes a few times, but it’s not really my thing - I wasn’t happy with the results. However, I highly recommend checking out @OxanaCrafts on KZbin! She does brilliant tutorials on wire wrapping stones without holes. Hope that helps! 😊

[@pamkriner5945]

Simple but nice! Can you share the online program you’re using?

[@justynasart]

It is the Silver Jewellery Diploma at Jewellers Academy (jewellersacademy.com)

[@jacinthedandeneau641]

​@@justynasart Thanks for that info. I'm very interested in taking the diploma course.

[@Michal-ke6lu]

The 16g wire is sterling silver? Do we need to buy a special hammer for this? I wanted to see your cute cat!😺

[@justynasart]

Yes, it is sterling silver wire. You don’t have to buy a chasing hammer specifically - if you have a flat or ball-peen hammer, those can work for flattening and adding texture. But if you plan to do more metalwork in the future, a chasing hammer could be a good investment. 🔨😊 And yes, that was Hachi, my tricolour cat! 😸 I also have a black cat, Kofi - they both love to ‘help’ with my jewellery projects!

[@kbaxterpackwood]

What size bailing pliers are those, and what is your bench top made of? TIA

[@justynasart]

These are step bail-making pliers in 13mm, 16mm, and 20mm. I have a piece of suede on top of my bench to stop things from sliding off. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! 😊

[@kbaxterpackwood]

@@justynasart thanks, my bail pliers aren't that large.

[@jacinthedandeneau641]

While I love the fact that there is no distracting music or other noise in the video, I do wish that you would talk us through the instructions instead of the "subtitles". It's hard to read and watch what you're doing at the same time. Plus the subtitles disappear too quickly and I don't have enough time to read what you're doing. Other than that, I love this pendant and how you slowly made it. It's beautiful and I will certainly try making it. ❤

[@justynasart]

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I really appreciate it. This video was meant to be inspirational while I was working on an order for the hammered teardrop pendant, and my aim wasn’t to create a full tutorial but rather to capture the process, which is why I kept it simple with subtitles. I can see how talking through the process would be helpful, though - I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos! I hope you enjoy making your pendant! ❤
