I'm 68 years old and I would love to wear it. You women are amazing jewelry makers. The fact that you take these pieces of junk you find on the shoreline and turn them into beautiful jewelry full of love and history. I can tell how much you love making them. I also love watching you do it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@doreenbailey6130]

I too am 68 and would proudly wear this 😀

If I had to draw a piece of jewellery that said "northern mudlarks" it would be that! Amazing work Gail and fantastic videography as ever!

[@AvalonDreamz]

With the insanity going on in our world today, I have to tell you ladies I appreciate you more than you know for your videos. You are an escape from that for so many and you make some amazing things from your finds. I work with stained glass so I see the beach glass and things you find that are really awesome, ends up giving me ideas for creating different pieces myself. Incorporating some of the different "similar" finds. Thank you for the inspiration. You have my Sub! Bless you both.

[@chericandream]

I have to say, that you are very talented Gail! Your jewelry always comes out so nice. It's noticeable that patience as well as being gentle is required to obtain such great work! You are patient when you mudlark just the same! I assume that is why you both find such dainty and beautiful small finds.

That's an amazing bracelet Gail and you must have lots of patients with all those rings. It's also interesting to see what some of those tools we see are used for. Thank you and bless you Alex see you again soon

[@michelleibbitson1205]

I love watching you making jewellery and other things ladies. Also I was thinking about all of those black bottle stoppers you find , you could use them when you make your tiled floor by sinking them into the tile adhesive in between the tiles in the shape of tiles ..if that makes sense?! Lol 😆 xx

[@thePacadashery]

Love it! I'm so happy you "listened" to the nail and made a beautiful bracelet. Oh, and "God bless you Alex" for your sneeze :) I like that you could hook the chain higher up for a smaller wrist. Are you considering making a how-to inspirational book with your creative jewelry makings? Love your videos!

[@sapphonymph8204]

Wow! What imaginations you have.

[@elizabethhardin4835]

It's mesmerising watching you work your magic on nails, scraps of metal etc, turning them into something beautiful such as this stunning copper bracelet.

[@barnsleytresurehunter]

Very interesting

[@markallchorn2438]

Fantastic, being to do with wooden boats and a jobbing jeweller can really link in with this fab bracelet. Great video girls !! Looking forward to the next one 👌

[@mountaintopgranny5661]

Wow! That is an awesome bracelet.

[@me-35]

You do nice work Gail. Unique and one of a kind! 💞😊

[@kerrindrawdy2017]

It occurs to me the sheer dedication to crafting Mrs. Gail must have to patiently and persistently work the metals so carefully and thoroughly. I know next-to-nothing of jewelers or jewelry-making, but I imagine in this day and age most of the "mechanics" are processed and/or automated wherever possible. I'm curious to know the length of time it took to complete this project. And I wouldn't mind seeing how the metals were polished to completion. Truly a beautifully unique and creative piece of jewelry! Kudos, Mrs. Gail and Ms. Alex, for your artistic contributions! ❤️

[@OceanBlue2023]

Thank you for sharing how you make your wonderful creations. You are both so talented.

[@jeannienash5249]

Gail, I could watch you make jewellery all day long

[@marinaj3633]

[@jamesrawson6659]

Hello Gail & Alex. Gail I watched you make the leaf from a piece of old copper pipe. Then I also watched Alex mould a silver figure. Is there anything you two cannot do because you both put your whole being to achieve what you do do. I can’t get enough of your vids. All channels what a coup,e of amazing people. I was mesmerised watching you make the leaf now I’m the same watching you make this. I said this once before to you. Long May you both continue . Thank you for sharing this.

[@kirstenanita1923]
