Dynamis (Greek δῠ́νᾰμῐς) is an Ancient Greek word that means power, might, strength.
​DYNAMIS JEWELRY was founded in 2015 by a ukrainian family in Canada (BC). But everything started even sooner back in Ukraine when the head of this family (a newly married young man) learnt some new skills from a professional jeweler. Since then this type of craftsmanship became his hobby and passion. He started soldering first copper and then silver at home on the windowsill. The first customers where friends and family members :)
Everything changed after moving to Canada. We decided to open our Etsy shop. In a few years Dynamis Jewelry KZbin channel was created and only in May 2020 we came to the point where we opened our own website and here you are :) If you are looking for a perfect and everlasting masterpiece, you’ll be able to find it here.
We are definitely one of the best in crafting high quality sterling silver jewelry!

Hermoso trabajo, que usas para limpiar el lacre? gracias maestro.

[@phillipcraggs6202]

As soon as I can afford it, I'm buyin something.

[@jarlathmcnee3833]

As usual amazing work. I do like the way you got the oval shape for the links, great idea! I have a question if I may, could you make the lengths shorter ( small space) and link them together before or after twisting them straight in line?

[@wissiwizard4536]

What size wire and mandrel did you use?

[@RyszardGb]

Awesome beautiful

[@Xapiro]

Hello. 1- What is the diameter of the two rods used to wind the wire? 2- What is the diameter of the wire? Thanks.

[@RizandesChannel]

Nice work...from Indonesia

[@thaibui5911]

26:16 What's the solution you use .... thanks

[@jeweler161rostov-on-don4]

Супер как всегда 💪😎

[@nickmiller5740]

I love watching your videos. Im curious as to what the purpose of heating the metal up repeatedly is for though?

[@kifahalamin8651]

Metal gets harder and stiffer the more work benig put on it (Bending or hammering) for example it is calld (work hardened) which stress the metal making it brittle.. so it needs to be heated to certain dgree to relief the stress and be soft and malleable this process called ( annealing ).

[@jarandisdal4644]

What size silver wire did you use in this video, and What was the diameter on the two rods you used to make the jump-rings?

[@jessmartucci3177]

Do you pickle the wire after annealing or just quench it?

[@outtadate]

When you dip the chain is that pickle or just plain water? I assume the crockpot is for pickle solution or both?

[@tallisholowka3946]

Great technique! I'm loving your videos! I'm curious about the wax you used to hold it down, and then the liquid used to remove the wax after? Does that technique gum up your file? Thanks for sharing your craft with the world!

[@user-qs5mb5ip2g]

So nice How much is the final wieght & the length?

[@kwameafriyie5453]

[@BBB-rd2qi]

Do you melt down gold or silver and create a new piece using the material for individual clients?

[@jamalkurbanbaev9357]

Работа классная ...я сам ещё не смог сделать ...но ... всё же ...есть маленькие дефекты ...звенья разные ...а так ...отличная работа...повторить пока не смог!)

[@God__compl3x]

that sped up hammer at 20:00 made a nice hi-hat

[@ssr4656]

very nice!!!🏹🏹🏹

[@Akasha_Silver]

Nice. Where can I buy a die cutter like that to make the end pieces for the chain?

[@festivepossum2808]

The craftsmanship in this is amazing. Though ive really wondered, What kind of watch do you wear, ive never been able to see it good enough to make it out?

[@beastvibes3683]

Probably casio g- shock

[@lsdleighssilverdesigns8809]

HELLO!!!! WHERE DID YOU BUY THAT BALE STAMPING KIT???? I would love to buy one...

[@TheRealDToTsO]

I really wanna get long ingot strips like you get. I'm terrible at it! Need lots of wire !!! How do you get those!?

[@juancarlosdaily310]

What is the name of the cutting die that you used to create the flat chain end?

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

awesome

[@akpinemjewelry1870]

Very good

[@johnmaley3020]

hey i ended up getting some handyflux and some hard silver solder chips, it got the copper rings soldered together perfectly. the problem im running into now is im having a hard time getting the copper rings hot enough to accept the solder because i think im using a 12 gauge wire (something super thick). propane or butane isnt doing the job very well, but i have access to any oxy-acetelyne torch at work. is there anything that would give me more heat that i could use at my house besides investing in an oxy-acetelyne setup? ive seen some mapp gas/oxy setups, or should i just bite the bullet and save up for a mini oxy/acet setup if im wanting to solder heavy gauge wire?

[@johnmaley3020]

what kind of solder are you using btw? is it just a hard silver wire solder? I ordered some of that but it wont be here for another week, so i got some easy, medium, and hard silver solder sheets in the mail today

[@bryansanchez3040]

Do u only do silver or do u do gold to?

[@karloft]

С наступающим ,очень красиво 👍

lol the struggle at 4:30 I'm trying this for the first time at home using 4g copper, it's a workout. I was definitely having a hard time wrapping those fat rings even after a dead soft anneal.

[@tonym50195]

How can I buy one like this and how much?

[@t2t]

You re always get my like. Mate. Thank you. Hehe 👍

[@t2t]

@Заработок от 3000 в день so sorry mate. I m just understanding English and Vietnamese 😘😁😝haha. Cant understand Russian language. 😖

[@bentleygt3716]

i love the ROUNDED shape of the links. unlike the typical link chains that look too flat. nice work.. if i were to change anything?. it would be the clasp. it's too generic.

[@robinyates6244]

what is the punch block you are using at 27:45 called or can you post a link to where I might find one Thanks

[@Devon123Bone]

Hello sir, what is the name of the bow tie shaped hole punch you have? Thank you your work is absolutely gorgeous

[@stefinstein3739]

What brand is the Turks head roller die in the the background at 9:00, where can you buy them?

[@manishmurpani6835]

Can you link your light from where you buy it

[@tres155]

what is the tool called that you pull the chain through after hammering on the anvil?

[@George-ew3gx]

What gauge wire are you using in the video? Thanks

[@sandrakayvillegasploutz3714]

A narration of the process with devices and tools being used would be interesting in captions. I remember the cradle, cast iron molds, mill, wire pulling, coiling and jeweler's saw to make links. I am guessing the gauge based on the size of pliers. The assemble of links is nice to see the patterns being created. The green flux to prevent fire scale then wire solder. Cleaned in pickle, annealing to soften the metal then pickle to clean it. Resuming twisting, hammering with flat head jeweler's hammer. The wax and wooden holder is interesting prior to filing and sanding. The tap and die to make fittings looks fun. Compounds vary in grit fromm 200, tripoli, white or Rouge. Steam cleaners are helpful 👌😀

[@HerpMahGerkDawg]

Beautiful work! 20:34 What is that machine that you're pulling the chain through? Just curious.

[@Wellington628]

What is this red that you use to fix the chain to the wood?

[@Motiov8d]

They say it some sort of wax that's sometimes made out of bug juice. 1:31

[@Mpe_e30_323i]

What is that dark liquid you melt over the chain, when it's on the piece of wood (21m20s)

[@user-yj5cn5ng2x]

Классное видео. Очень хорошо показан весь процесс изготовления панцирной цепочки. Жаль только что без комментариев. Возникает ряд вопросов, если можешь ответить отклонитесь.

[@felixwoukec3902]

Whats the benefits of so much heating and cooling the wire? Nice job man💪

[@valeirialee257]

Hi. What is that liquid you use to remove the red wax from the chain? I really love your work by the way.

[@FLABees]

Nail paint remover

[@chrisgregory670]

When you are using the red wax to hold, what is the solution to get it off and I suppose you're not saving filings?

[@pautv8477]

Is it a 3 or 4 mm cable?

[@rubenromos8573]

Thanks for sharing I have 2 question if you don't mind what liquid did you use to remove the shellac at 26:16 and where can I find the tool that you used to make the ends caps at27:40. thanks in advance

[@kullenk7005]

Have you found it? I'm looking for the solution to take the shellac as well!

[@drigodegatodrigo825]

What glue is that your using at 13:31

[@Yash8595_]

What’s the thickness of the wire and two rods

[@saturnna467]

If I try and twist a line that long it normally snaps.. any tips?

[@johnmaley3020]

your videos inspired me to get everything to start making necklaces. i did chainmail jewelry a few years ago just as a hobby, now im wanting to try to make a cuban link. i made my own rings, but all my solder joints broke when i tried to twist them. im using a silver solder on copper rings, im using flux as well. i dont know if im not getting the surrounding area hot enough to flow the solder or what? any advice on the soldering?

[@DynamiSJewelry]

Thank you. Because copper oxidizes very very much, and that oxidation doesn’t allow solder to flow where it is needed even though you are using the flux. try with silver, it is different.

[@johnmaley3020]

@@DynamiSJewelry damn, I’m watching your video right now as you responded 😂. I wanted to try it with copper cause as I was going through Home Depot today I noticed I could buy 8 awg solid copper wire so I finally took the plunge and bought the other tools to try to make a necklace and the solder and flux I bought is specifically for copper, so I didn’t think I’d have any issues. Also, I didn’t wanna try it with something expensive like silver because I feel like I could get more practice with something cheaper like copper.

[@DynamiSJewelry]

@@johnmaley3020 i used to start with copper too. So, be patient and get more practice

[@johnmaley3020]

@@DynamiSJewelry do you know any premade wire I could get that would be good and cheap for practicing? And possibly a place I could order some from?

[@johnmaley3020]

@@DynamiSJewelryis there any specific flux or wire I should be using? No matter what I do, the solder seems like it wants to go anywhere but in the joint where I want it, and when I can get it to flow in the joint, it just breaks apart when I start to twist it

[@incognitobtc]

Огонь!

[@C-rab03]

So you can stretch the wire using only a draw plate? I can’t afford a draw bench and I thought that would create problems.

[@josecarlosdl7509]

What measure is the link in the chain ?

[@gilbertlongboat5081]

Are you located in Canada and do you make pieces for anyone? If I sent you the gold would you make a Cuban ?
