How to Make No Solder Bangles Part 2 | Jewelry 101

[@santranslate]

Your tutorials are superb. No nonsense or dragging on. Thank you 💋

[@denisejones6903]

Susan you and your jewelry tutorials fabulous!!! I made a couple of brass bangles with the paddles will be making some with gemstones.Thank you Susan for sharing your jewelry designs❤

[@ivonnemartinez4196]

❤ very nice thank you

Very encouraging and well demonstrated. Like both styles. TYSM

[@sassylrhg]

I have wondered how to predetermine wire length for years. Thanks for telling how you do that. Is it possible to do a video on just that~determining lengths for necklaces~bracelets~anklets? Also~ do these simple bracelets need to be annealed/pickled? I'm so a newbie but want to learn THE RIGHT WAYS from the start. I feel you might be the one to teach me/us. Thanks so much in advance.

I love the way it came out.Nice thanks for sharing.Lucille

Susan great video!! What brand of hole puncher do u use? I can't find one to cut thru the 12 gauge wire

[@benancialopez6894]

Well it was a lot of fun learning your technique on how to do the bangles. It’s new to me. Thank you very much. God bless you.

[@donnasutley7119]

Thank you very very much for your tutorials. You’re very easy to follow along. Thank you for that I am just wondering what kind of a hole punch you are using to punch in your wire is it just a regular hole punch? Everybody uses to punch holes in paper? I tried finding a link to buy your whole punch, but I couldn’t find it thank you thank you very much.

[@JewelSchool]

We are sold out of this particular hole punch but for the purposes of searching it out online, use the term "Eurotool 1.5mm Hole Punch."

@@JewelSchoolcan anyone tell me what kind of wire she used here? I know the gage but she never said if it was Brass, Parawire, or German Style wire? How did she get them so shiny? That’s another question… should we treat the wire with a high shine spray top coat or the stuff I buy from JTV so the wire won’t turn my wrists green (especially copper) it doesn’t like me. Lol.😂 but I was thinking like the Brass… will it keep it from tarnishing a lot? And the German style wire… will it keep that from tarnishing or chipping or whatever? Sorry about all the questions but I’ve been watching, learning, and buying from Jewel School for years now and have Loved, Learned and bought a lot of things,but these have been questions I have never known. Even after watching older videos, some have been answered but these last few I could never get the answer to . If you or anyone out there can help me, I would sooo appreciate it!!!

Heart shaped lava rock gems and a lavender oil I put together I believe I got it from one of your video’s care packages ,from CVS I put together, looked like lavender oils on lava rocks that you were wire wrapping a birdcage ,so I kind of took a few of your ideas and put together!

[@happygreen2654]

Super easy to understand. Thank you

[@tishsmiddy71]

I love adding bling or gemstones ! I’m new to wire bending so I get a little to much wire wrapped around the object , then I don’t like it ! But you always give measurements and it works out perfect or I’m a perfectionist and don’t trust myself ! Lol PS . Everything I’ve made of yours , I love ! Thank you for teaching and it looks like you really love what your doing! 🤟🏻❤️

[@lyndahudson5287]

Loved how easy it was but has a class-eee look can price them reasonable.

[@normabyrd274]

Absolutely I would use the stone! OK, I'd make one or two plain and then a couple with different stones. They look great stacked!

Enjoy watching all of your tutorials. My grandson is a 3rd-year university student and he said grandma can you make me some sterling brackets and jade gemstone rings. So I used you as my teacher. I have only done bead stringing for necklaces and bracelets. Do you have tutorials for men's jewelry? Thank you for your perfect instructions.♥️

[@isobelhunter4866]

I agree with Holly Jaye could you please do a video of wire lengths I am also a newbie have waisted a great deal of wire due to not knowing how much to use so I guess, the new craft is enjopyable but it is becoming expensive for me to continue waisting as much as I do. I have loved all the tutorials I have watched so far & you make it achievable thank you

[@sharonmartinez7851]

Hi Susan. I love your videos. Thank you so much. Would a wire rounder 1.2 mm attachment work on the 12 gauge wires. I a new to the jewelry making and I am just gathering all my tools. It’s a hobby that i started to do to relieve my stressful life from work. Thanks to your Tutorial videos❤️

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Maribel! Beadalon makes a tip specifically for 12-14ga wires, which are generally 2.1mm-1.6mm wires. Yours may be a bit too small. Good luck!

Hi . I love your tutorials & all the beautiful jewelry you make . I just have one question about the wire rounder . I’ve been looking for one but I got confused with all the supplies they have online . Please advise me on a good one . Thanks so much 🙏

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Miriam! Beadalon makes a great bead reamer with an interchangeable tip. Then you can buy a wire rounding tip and change it out. Basically, you'll have two tools in one. A quick online search for "Beadalon Bead Reamer" should get you what you need. Just be sure to look for the one where the tips can be changed out!

[@terrishull844]

Hi Suan. This is great. Can you use a one step looper or is the wire too thick? T hanks

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Terri! Unfortunately the 1-step looper will only loop wire from 18ga to 24ga. Susan uses 16ga in this particular project.Plus, you'll need to make a loop that is slightly bigger than what the 1-step looper or the big step looper can make, which is 1.5mm and 3mm, respectively. Susan is using the larger side of the acculoop plier, which at the smallest is about 5mm. Here is a link to an acculoop plier set. www.jtv.com/product/acculoop-plier-set-incl-precision-square-and-precision-round-nose-pliers/JSTKIT153?mcid=XSOjsyt Hope this helps!!

[@jacquelineterella2235]

Beautiful. What is the type of metal did you use? It looks close to a gold.

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Jacqueline, what a beautiful name you have! Most of the yellow wire used in our videos will be a gold tone or gold over sterling silver wire. This is just way more cost effective for you. You can get gold wire, but it will cost a lot more. We hope this answers your question and thanks for watching!

[@jacquelineterella2235]

@@JewelSchool I'm sorry, you say gold tone. What metal is that. Brass or just SS with gold fill. Did you know that some jeweler's are using 9kt gold.. It is way cheaper, but I wonder what alloys that is mixed with? Any ideas? I wonder what's next, 5 kt ?... 😁

[@robindusch6033]

Love these bangles!!

[@19PurpleRice68]

Hi Would you recommend using gold filled wire to make hammer wire bangles? thanks

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! Gold filled wire is a great option for someone who wants precious gold jewelry without the cost of solid gold. You run the risk of marring the plating when you hammer it, so just use your best judgement. You may want to hammer a small part of the wire as a test before making an entire project.

[@tess2626]

Love this! Thanks.

[@clarinetkathleen]

Are the rounded parts of the bangles supposed to be flat after your hammer them on the mandrel?

[@JewelSchool]

No. Just hammer lightly to help texturize the wire and get it back into shape. Hammering will also harden the wire, making it a bit more sturdy!

[@yvonnemairose6100]

I am using the very same brand and size wire and the gold coating peels off no matter what type of hammer or block I use. How did you prevent this from happening?

[@lisamoniz8042]

Hi Susan, where do you purchase your wire for making bangles?

What kind of wire did you use? Looks like gold. What is it really?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! Susan is using a non-tarnish, plated 12ga wire. It will have a base metal, and then it is plated to achieve the gold tone.
