Thank you ☺️ to cute 🤟🏻❤️

[@marcellecostanza1777]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make the rings with the necklace wire using a mandrel? I don't have a wrap and tap.

[@elizabethayars6443]

what do you do when the end caps do not fit? How do the sizes work?

[@marydevivo5773]

Could you use the memory wire to make an ear cuff? I would love to see a tutorial for that.

[@williamzan7485]

Can't wait to try these new techniques 🤓... Bwahahah 🤪💍💍

[@jamiejones426]

How long does the glue need to dry? I’ve tried the hypo cement and super glue and they’re not working at all. Not only that but this gel you’re using is very expensive. Please help

[@MariaHernandez-dw8jn]

Susan, I love your video, you always make it fun to learn!!! What size beads am I supposed to use with the ring memory wire??

[@JewelSchool]

These are about a 4mm bead.

[@MariaHernandez-dw8jn]

@@JewelSchool OK, thank you! 👍

[@mandicoleman7433]

Those look great n it didn't seem to take very long to make

[@pamelar3607]

I find the ring memory wire is too big for most fingers. So I guess the 2nd way u made the ring with the bail maker tool is the best way to do it.

[@sultanamuzikir6419]

Thank you for an awesome tutorial! I have allergies that prevent me from using glues. Is there another way to end the ring? Thank you!

[@JewelSchool]

You can bend a small loop at the end to hold your beads on

[@Vn2HQ8G]

How remove the sharp edges after cutting the memory wire?

[@mbermudez8232]

Beautiful how do you make the long ring next to your wraps h

[@vimsyvrajan2387]

Hey! which brand of wire is most durable and does not get tarnished easily? also can you seggest any tarnish blocker spray which I can spray on my products before selling them?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! Parawire is a non tarnish coated wire and comes in a variety of colors. Also, as far as spray, you can use the alchemy jewelry sealer. Alchemy is a water based sealer that creates an invisible barrier that protects your jewelry from tarnishing and protects your skin from discoloration and irritation. Once dried, you can’t see it, feel it or smell it. This is the perfect solution for people who can't wear earrings because their ears itch and swell while wearing them. No more itching. No more green skin. No more ruined jewelry. Gentle enough for contact with your skin but strong enough to protect your jewelry. Hope this helps!! Alchemy Jewelry Sealer: www.jtv.com/product/alchemy-jewelry-sealer-bundle-includes-4-oz-and-2-oz-spray-bottles/ACC053?mcid=XSOjsyt Parawire: www.jtv.com/category/jewelry-making/wire/_/N-451581875?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@FriskyTendervittles]

Are your gemstones real? Where do you get them? I want to get authentic gear one beads and I do not know where to find them. Also, how do you keep the wire from tarnishing? When I make rings the wire turns orange

[@JewelSchool]

Some of them are! She uses ruby and amazonite for one of the rings with small metal seed beads. We have both natural and artificially created gems in stock. We are an online retail store called Jewel School by JTV and you can find just about any bead you need! www.jtv.com/category/jewelry-making/beads/_/N-1547377695?mcid=XSOjsyt Susan uses a non-tarnish coated wire called parawire. Your wire is changing color due to a reaction between your skin and the wire. Definitely think about getting a non-tarnish coated wire. www.jtv.com/product/wire-kit-includes-non-tarnish-silver-non-tarnish-gold-and-rose-gold-tones-in-18-20-24-28-gauge/JSWRKIT011?mcid=XSOjsyt Also you can use a jewelry spray called Alchemy to coat the metal and that will help too. Here is a link: www.jtv.com/product/alchemy-jewelry-sealer-bundle-includes-4-oz-and-2-oz-spray-bottles/ACC053?mcid=XSOjsyt You may have to re-apply it every few months. Also, just be mindful to keep your jewelry clean using a professional cleaning cloth. www.jtv.com/product/4-ply-professional-cleaning-cloth-12-x-15-/JLC506?mcid=XSOjsyt

@@JewelSchool thank you!!! Can you tell me where they are sourced from? I’m trying so hard to be authentic since I sell

Would bracelet memory wire not work?

I can not get .50 mm memory wire to work as suggested in this video. Any suggestions?

[@LisasLifeThenandNow]

I have the hardest time with any type of glue these days holding up. Do these not fall off eventually? I know for myself, it’s be no biggie, I’d just replace the bead, but I’d hate to give a gift and they fall off easily.

[@JewelSchool]

That's a great question and one that we don't know the exact answer to! However, most of the pieces created using bead fix gel are still going strong. As with any wear and tear, this will depend on how much you wear it, what activities you are doing while wearing it, and what you expose it to as far as chemicals. Things like acetone will dissolve a super type glue like this. The good news is that you can always re-apply glue to a bead that has fallen off. If you have customers or like you said, giving as a gift, just advise them to take care with their handmade jewelry as they would with any jewelry they own. Clean it with tepid water and a mild soap or use a jewelry cleaning cloth to lightly wipe away dirt and grime. Never use harsh chemicals or an at home ultrasonic cleaner to clean your jewelry. Better care equals longer life! Hope this helps!

[@LisasLifeThenandNow]

@@JewelSchool thank you so much for your advice! I’m going to look for the bead fix glue and follow your instructions. I love my creations, but worry they won’t hold up, so I never give to anyone except my girls. I’m worried I’ll disappoint anyone else. Just gotta get more confident!

[@cottoncandy9080]

I have 1 mm wire but if i make anything with it it always lose the shape easily Can someone recommend me very hard wires that don’t lose its shape

[@JewelSchool]

Sounds like memory wire would work well for you. It's a very hard tempered steel wire that never loses it's shape. Also, it depends on the gauge your using. A dead soft wire, meaning your 22, 24, 26 and 28's will lose their shape much more easily than a half-hard wire like, 20, 18, 16, 14 and so on. Remember, the smaller the gauge the thicker and wire! You can try lightly hammering the band of your rings too. That will help to harden the wire a bit. Just be mindful that hammering too hard will mar your wire. Hope this helps!

[@cottoncandy9080]

@@JewelSchool hey dear i just got my order from amazon, 16 gauge wire and it’s harder than i have i like it sm 😻thanks to for you wire types video
