How to Make a Hollow Silver Bead Using a ~Queen Puabi~ Die Former Part One

How to Make a Hollow Silver Bead Using a ~Queen Puabi~ Die Former- No Hydraulic press or expensive equipment required! All you need is one of my ~Queen Puabi~ Collection die formers, a hammer and annealing. I have reclaimed the method ancient goldsmiths used to create gorgeous silver or gold hollow beads and forms, low tech and easy and effective! The process to make silver or gold hollow beads with my die formers is the same whether goldsmithing or silversmithing.

Great series of videos!!

[@JewelryArts]

I am so glad you liked them! Have you made any beads yet?

[@rudyintraina6827]

Jeannette could you kindly reserve me an entire set of these and all future ones for the next life when I will surely be born disgustingly wealthy? 😂 Jokes aside, congratulation on all the planning and trials, these dies are fantastic and my brain has already envisioned a million possible designs! Looking forward to part 2 of this video 😊

[@JewelryArts]

Thank you! I hear you on the price but they aren't cheap to produce and I'm having them made right here in NYC. Maybe next lifetime we can both be born disgustingly wealthy!

@@JewelryArts oh I'm so sorry it came across that way, but I really wasn't commenting on their price, which is absolutely fair for that kind of quality! I just wish I had enough spare money to justify buying all of them as an amateur jeweller who mostly makes pieces to give away! Tool addiction is real 🤯

@@rudyintraina6827 No worries at all, tool addiction is REAL!! I am afraid to tell you,it just gets worse. :)

You mentioned a kiln. Is it possible to fuse the bead on the trivet in a kiln similar to firing silver clay? If so do you have temperature and time idea.

[@JewelryArts]

I am sorry but I don't think so, we always use the torch to control the heat. It does seem theoretically possible but I don't think it would work out in real life. :)

Fantastic! Are these dies going to be available for sale?

[@JewelryArts]

Yes! They are premiering on my tools site jewelryartstools.com on June 13th. :)

[@NancyTroskeGoldsmithStudio]

Love your explanations and the awesome tools you've created. I was wondering about the stack of magazines. Can't wait to get my hands a set when I can decide which one to get first!😀

[@JewelryArts]

Lol, no magazines required for your home studio. :) You will adore these tools.
