[@natashascowen7895]

Lovely video Nikki ❤️

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Thank you so much, it means the world to me to be able to make them for people Nikki x

[@user-nr3um5uz4q]

Hiya, this is a really useful video, thank you 😊. I just wondered what the best thing to do is if the top of the cabochon is still a bit tacky? TIA

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

You can use a UV top coat, I have them on the Keepsaker Supplies website. But usually if you've cured enough and waited until it's completely cooled before touching it shouldn't be sticky. Try other brands of UV resin but keep a bottle of top coat handy. Hope that helps Nikki

[@melcrossland1359]

Lovely video

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Thank you Mel that's really kind Nikki

[@Therealj31TTV]

I want to learn to make this so I can make my dogs ashes into a ring

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

I've got a direct pour video too, some people find that method a little easier than using a mould. You're welcome to get in touch if you have any questions Nikki

[@jaynie7992]

I highly appreciate you

[@TessVonWolf_]

Forse meno colore e più cenere era meglio.così nn è che si vede molto

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Qualcuno può chiedere più cenere, se preferisce. Ci piace che appaia sottile. La cenere è ancora lì. Inviamo al cliente una foto per approvazione

[@edgarlouieque888]

Hi.. what do you mix with the ashes called to make it purple?

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Hi I make and sell sparkle mixes for resin on Keepsaker Supplies, the first link in the video description takes you to the blog with all of the supplies or you can just go to the colours and sparkles section on my website. I ship internationally :) Thanks Nikki

[@MichaelNoon]

Any idea where I can get one of those little moulds??

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Hi, we make all of our moulds by hand and they're all available on KeepsakerSupplies.com and there're links in the video description to the tutorial with the full list of everything I used here. Hope that helps! Nikki

[@MichaelNoon]

Website might be down as when you click on the link in the description it says oops can’t find page

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

@@MichaelNoon sorry about that, it's been up and down a bit today. Try going to KeepsakerSupplies.com :) Thanks Nikki

[@soitiscremationjewelryandu5915]

Your design is so beautiful. We are also designing cremation jewelry recently. Would you like to take a look and give us the following suggestions?

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

I can see that you are selling inexpensive wearable urns and that's not something I have any experience with. If you need any advice on adding resin based pieces to your options then please watch all of my videos and get in touch. We sell all of the supplies you'd need! Thanks - Nikki

[@kyennastarr2144]

What uv resin do you us? Will they turn yellow

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

All the links to the supplies I use are in the video description along with a full blog. We sell the UV resin used in this video and don't find it yellows often, unless a client misuses it (chemicals, too much sunlight etc). We remake around one piece a month over at Tree of Opals, out of perhaps 60 pieces made. Some people prefer to use epoxy and that's completely up to you, but the layers will take you days; if you pour it all in one go the ashes will sink and you don't get the nice depth Nikki

[@jamesenriquez4357]

Can i add more ashes?

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Hi James, making jewellery with ashes is more of an art than a science. If that's the look you're going for and your clients like it then of course you can. I don't use a lot because of customer feedback over the past six years where they sometimes find the ashes to distort the colour. If you add too much, it can prevent the piece from curing or make the finished stone grainy and not as strong. Keep experimenting and find what works best for you! Nikki

[@Sylk505]

hi i was told i can just pour the resin into the ring, no need to make cabuchon?

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Yes you definitely can do that but there are so many benefits to using a mould over filling. Here's a little blog I wrote with the pros and cons bit.ly/FillVRub Please let me know if you think it's helpful or there's more I should add. I'll do a video at some point with some filled settings myself too Nikki

[@Sylk505]

@@KeepsakerSupplies thanks for replying, its tricky to find any tutorials without cabuchons. your blog was great!! thanks! It all makes perfect sense. I actually use cavers mill as well. But you get more selection when you use the open backs as well. I have ordered tape for them. I get what you mean about the pressure to get it right first time, thats a major downfall. I just cant see how i can get every shape and size of cabochon and it not cost me a fortune either xx

[@Sylk505]

@@KeepsakerSupplies very hard to find non cabochon open back setting, and without uv gel. I use exopy. x

[@reneehomewood2084]

Where do I find these items as you mentioned to make theses myself? Tia

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

Hi Renee we sell them all on Keepsaker Supplies, links in the video description. Hope that helps! :) Nikki

[@coastinthruipap5998]

Where would I be able to find a setting to make a charm with ashes?

[@raonnaferrera413]

Where can I purchase the ring settings?

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

On the video description above, just click "show more" or the arrow and I've put in all the links to my website Keepsaker Supplies where I sell them. I make all the rings myself by hand and they take up to two weeks, but people usually tell me they're worth it keepsakersupplies.com/ Love Nikki :D

[@airahcaznomolos1173]

Is that human ashes or plants or wood or tabbacco

[@KeepsakerSupplies]

I've said that in this video I'm using human ashes, this video is made with the family's permission. You could work with plant ashes but I'm not sure that would be something customers would want to pay for! Usually they send in their family members' or pets' ashes to be preserved Nikki
