How to Wire Wrap a Briolette | Jewelry 101

[@barbkrejca]

I've been teaching for 34 years, and you are an excellent teacher. You understand all of the steps and demo them, you do NOT bother with a lot of chat (filler), you keep to the point well, and have an excellent voice for teaching. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@JewelSchool]

Thank you, Barbara!

[@Lexi_Con]

@@JewelSchool I agree for this tutorial. Great demo with clear explanations of different brio wrap techniques at a good pace. It was the camera person and/or setup that needed improvement. Do they not do a quick run-through first, or have any clue about filming jewelry tutorials by the year 2019 (when this was posted)? Seems like a tv studio would have more capacity for high quality. Needs more zoom, better focus, and perhaps overhead angle so we can see your work. If nothing else, hold the stone up very still... long enough for the camera to focus (esp if using auto) at the end of important steps. Hope this finds you & the staff healthy & well in 2020 - thanks for sharing the tips!

Thank you!

[@MariaReyes-te7lk]

Planning and training makes you and EXCELLENT instructor . You use less word for those who learn by looking ..I hope you stay at this channel for many years . I am retired teacher. Blessings ...

[@marabevan6524]

I love your enthusiasm and watching your videos. However, I've mentioned this before and notice a lot of comments from others about this issue: whoever does your camera work NEEDS to go closer. Does this person ever read the comments? I dont think so because nothing ever changes. Other than that, you are awesome!

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Mara! These video are a bit older from when we just started the channel. Please check out our videos from the last year or so. We think you will find that you can see much better. Thanks for watching!

[@betnixsmom9741]

Hi! Thank you so much for your channel. As a beginnner I really find your teaching excellent🌷 The only thing I wish to be different is the close with the camera and also the angle so me as a wiever is able to see in detail. Have a nice day😊

[@westy14]

The camara is not closer enough to see what's going on , you have a nice voice, you explain step-by-step perfectly but we need to see closer. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@aurawright2130]

I agree

[@MariaReyes-te7lk]

When you love what you do...the enthusiasm and hope for other to learn is the teacher trophy..satisfaction that the lesson was understood and not only that it could lead to and amazing creativity from the students.

[@playwithfiber]

Your tutorial is wonderful. I just completed my best wire wraps ever!

[@Monster-wt1qk]

I love how you explain! I have a super thin wire and I kept breaking it, thanks for the video!

[@SBL1932]

You are so good at what you do. Such a good teacher. You bade it so anyone can do it.

[@joyceball1834]

Thank you for explaining and showing us your technique. I am just starting so I appreciate your telling us which tools are needed. I look forward to more of your teaching videos.

[@gailresources8120]

So nice. Would be great if you could could get in quite a bit closer at the finish to be able to see what the wraps are supposed to look like. Even a close up photo.

[@lorraine9097]

What is the hardness of the wire?

[@Saveroomforyourlove]

Love how you teach. . You don't miss anything..thank you! ❤🌹

[@Easterisaturtle]

Great lesson!

[@synchronicity1470]

thanks. I needed a refresher after a few years off! great tutorial & new subscriber 💙

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

I’m saved this so I can take a look at this after I get my supplies be I love this video and the way you explain what you are teaching.

[@foodforthesoul1326]

Thank you so much. Great technique, I can see everything that you are doing, very novel, lol. You, my dear, are an amazing teacher. I just got a great deal on some chalcedony briolettes and they are stunning. I’ve been sitting here for about an hour staring at them wondering what I’m going to do with them, lol. Thanks again! 👍✨💖✨😁

[@murphy1384]

That was very well demonstrated. Sometimes I have a hard time following. I'm new to beading but I love it. Wish I would of found it 30 yrs ago. Now it's gifts fir friends & jewelry for myself. Mary

[@pinkblackbrown]

It's so relaxing. Happy beading 🌞

[@flobbertop4278]

Quite simply one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on this technique!

[@luckysuzful]

Love the technique to incorporate the pearl to make an earring. I'm assuming if you wanted a "messy" wrap, you'd just add more length to the wire to wrap it further down the briolette.

[@lisadryman-rice6919]

I could see what you're doing just fine, and I'm grateful to have this tutorial. The one thing that I think is a little unclear is referring to "two wires" when you're talking about the two *ends* of a single wire. Thanks for the video!

[@emilyhill1443]

Fantatsic demonstration, as always. Suzanne

[@bettysmith3335]

Thank you for this video. You are wonderful at explaining and showing what you are doing. I learned a lot and will save this so I can practice. Thanks again

[@JewelSchool]

Thank you, Betty!

[@thatstotallythea]

Another great tutorial! Thanks, Susan!

[@rockymarco2886]

I really like your teaching technique! So easy to watch! Thank you for your videos!

[@newjoyyork]

Thank you!!! Clear & concise! I can’t wait to try!!!

[@carmenita7583]

Easy start to do jewelry making, I appreciate what you are doing , thank you . 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽😎

[@deborahgiles8214]

Excellent tips on wire wrapping. I found the info very helpful. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@kizmit6545]

❤awesome I am also a retired teacher in the medical field a bit different however teaching by demonstrating visually is always the best way for most adults to learn Fran

[@byol3380]

You do make it easy and quick thanks

[@1daizie]

Thank you!

[@reginahanson2186]

Beautiful jewelry! 💗

[@Belle19700]

Excellent! Thank you. I will be practicing now.

[@charmedlife7758]

Very professional videos and technique!! Love your tutorials. Thx!

[@annr.7023]

I could really appreciate your camera zooming in so I could see your instructions easier....😮

[@JewelSchool]

Thanks for the feedback! This is a much older video and we have since tried to get in loser on our newer videos. Feel free to check them out!

[@jazzy_jz]

Awesome! Just make sure with a small/delicate stone to not use a really thick wire and try lots of times or the stone around the hole will break and there will be no hole

[@nancyfonseca5765]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video... Much love😍👍

[@kamalmonga142]

Very good tutorial . Thanks

[@lizlloyd4228]

Great video! Do you have any more briolette wrapping tutorials planned? I'd love to see more. :)

[@alexincudine7839]

I love these videos 👍🥑💕

[@JewelSchool]

Thank you, Alexandra!!

[@kfamily381]

Nice and simple

[@cece3194]

[@melbabowen4389]

❤❤❤THANK YOU!

[@sweetmanhattanstamps1792]

You do an amazing job teaching! Your videos are clear and you are very articulate. Don't change a thing! Wow amazing job! 👏

[@JewelSchool]

Thank you, Sharie!

[@beyondhello2797]

Great tutorial!

[@19PurpleRice68]

Hi Susan - I love your bangles, especially the wider band. Can please do a video how make them and where do you buy the material? Thanks

[@thejewelryspot9969]

Love this. I'm trying to master it! ❤ I have lapis that's almost in the shape of a square at the top. It's beautiful, but I can't figure out how to wrap it.

[@christinelevenson6356]

I'm looking for the same type of tutorial - for a rectangular stone, side drilled!

[@smithk6977]

Great vid.. Thnx👍👏

[@elizabethcarney1010]

Excellent!!!

[@elsechristiansen2118]

Love it

[@brendakaypeterson8592]

Love your videos ❤️

[@diannefleming1]

You did a great job describing what to do but I couldn’t see what you were actually doing. The camera needed to zoom in so much closer.

[@bettykriss6626]

Kk kid

[@borninusanoacherbabehere931]

How about how to start a string of beads for doorway closet 😇

[@borninusanoacherbabehere931]

I love your choice on colors of beads for your projects. How long are you going to be on here giving classes ?

[@JewelSchool]

Hopefully for a long time! We post videos every Wednesday at noon ET. Thank you!

[@christinadelrio9011]

Myself learning fix jewelry ..😗😗

[@artistsharonr]

Love your videos! I wanted to ask about the Parawire, how long does it stay shiny and bright? I bought a different wire that wasn’t supposed to tarnish and wire wrapped a stone and it tarnished! Now I only work with sterling silver, except I would enjoy trying these new colored wires.

[@zoezoo1991]

The top of mine is not flush for some reason 🤔 I'm able to make it wrapped but it's not overlapping the top point of the bead.

[@tridrummond2079]

The camera is not close enough to see what is going on. I cant see the point. Sorry.

[@michellewilliams2032]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I’m a beginner. Is the wire you use half hard or soft?

[@ritzput]

Can you show how to double wire gemstone (Briolette) to a hoop earring, using 26 guage wire? I watched your video on 3rd earring on how to do this but having trouble: 1. making loop but keeping wires together, 2.Can't make loop close enough to top of briolette, 3. Once i attach to hoop, how to wrap one at a time. Can't see on your video.

[@danitadavis7093]

watched

[@denisewinant6366]

I agree with others...need more close ups.

[@laashreeynabalachandranmoe824]

😊

[@user-dk7dv4wh8r]

❤

[@nihalelghryany3482]

hello great videos! is this a soft or half hard wire? thank you

[@Lexi_Con]

Wire needs to be dead soft since most gemstone briolettes have small holes and delicate tips.

[@belindadeguara8130]

I'm pretty sure the amethyst was fake because whell how do I know I am a huge fan of crystals and know my crystals

[@Amoresable]

We're can I buy the stones like citrine or tigereyes and so on?

[@marianaflorentinasarca1072]

I don't know what kind of wire you use, but a lot of waste for that little ring you make it, if it's gold it's waste or silver, anyway a great tutorial, congratulations

[@bosvigos9165]

Camera needs to be over the top of the table. I think it would be better.

[@calvin7162]

Is your wedding ring invisible?💋

[@tehreemismail2071]

👍

[@ambervisions]

Great video! I have to ask...isnt it pronounced Brio-lay....not Brio-let? It's a french word.

[@p.kimbrell5382]

Why instruct people to waste so much wire when starting to wire the broilet? No need to make both sides of the wire so long when you're just going to cut it off. That's just wasteful. Guess they end up buying more wire from you that way, smh.

[@barbarapengelly2073]

That was exactly my thought re the waste in wire.

[@judyferry8473]

You're teaching is good but the camera person needs to zoom in on what you're doing I cannot even tell what you're doing thank you for the video but please have them zoom in on what you're doing on future videos

[@craiglisting6663]

smh this is supposed to be a video tutorial...but what's good if you can't even see the most crucial parts..?? Also, you wasted so much wire just to rap and create a loop on the lapis.

[@realgirl2704]

So hard to see what you're doing😩

[@EmmieBeck68]

She’s had way too much caffeine. Hold the finished product still so I can see it. And I need a closer view of finished product please!

[@laurabarber6697]

The color of your wire is virtually the same color as your tabletop therefore we can't see what you're doing. do you go back and look at what you're showing us?

[@kathleenstevens1814]

I hate to be a complainer but you go so fast and your camera is not close enough to get a good idea of what you were doing I know you've done this hundreds of times but us knew folks need a little slower introductions so we can see exactly what you're doing and to see the outcome was so fast it was really hard to see maybe I'm just too slow looker

[@sophia-luciakwon2792]

Your videos might be slightly too bright to follow without straining Ma eyes; just saying >.

[@mjremy2605]

No professional video ever has music in a DIY demo, drowning out the voice, hurting the ears with excessive sound, and irritating the heck out of the viewer. Can you tell me exactly what purpose the music fulfills? Nothing. It only costs you subscribers like me, who don't want to go deaf. NO MUSIC. SILENCE IS GOLDEN. Show closeups. Talk less. This is video not radio.

[@elenagisa1318]

so much wire wasted....

[@billieappleby424]

None of your videos showed 😂

[@carolinaalvarez9985]

To far camera !

[@lillipaul9880]

Zu viel- bla…. .bla!!!

[@laurabarber6697]

Saying, "I've got..." Is saying' " I have got..." it's like saying I've done did. Just say, I have..." it'll make you sound much smarter!

[@syrenadiaz5248]

You don't have to sound smart to be smart, have you ever considered that.

[@nonyab3843]

Have you ever thought about keeping it moving if you don't care for English Grammer of the person WHO MADE THE VIDEO ? RHETORIC ANOTHER THOUGHT WOULD BE FOR YOU TO DO YOUR OWN BRIOLETTE WIRE WRAPPING VIDEO ?

[@lynneholden6216]

Thank you!
