Buena idea de usar la esponja para lubricar el alambre. Hoy aprendí algo nuevo. Gracias, maestro

Great video and great bracelet 👏 how long did it take you from start to finish? 👏👏🔥

[@M.EmilioJewelry]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding how much time it took, for me personally, it’s quite a lengthy process since I only have 3-4 hours a day to work. Creating a bracelet like this can take me 2-3 days. If I add filming for KZbin into the mix, the process becomes much longer-around two weeks. Having limited time and managing everything is quite challenging. It might look quick in the video, but in reality, the process is slow and requires a lot of attention to detail. Wishing you all the best, and I truly appreciate your support and interest!

Really nice work. 😎👍🏾😁 I’m fairly new at silversmithing. All self taught so far. It’s a fun hobby. Gained yourself a new follower as well. Thanks for the awesome video. 😎🤙🏾✌🏾

Thanks for your comment, I will try to release more videos like this in the future when I have more time. Good luck with your hobby and learning. 🙂✌🏿🤙🏿

Love your video, I'm going to share with my jewellery diploma class. What's the wire solder that you are using?

[@M.EmilioJewelry]

Greetings, thank you very much for your comment. And solder for myself I found and make universal solder here Components per 10 grams : Silver (Ag) 7.5 rp. (75.0%) Copper (Cu) 1.55 grams (15.5%) Zinc (Zn) 0.95 grams (9.5%). Please note that this solder is universal for my needs only

@@M.EmilioJewelry Would the solder affect hallmarking?

[@M.EmilioJewelry]

When using sterling silver solder, it is important to consider the composition of the solder and its effect on the overall composition of the alloy. Grade 925 silver means that the product contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. To keep the 925 marking, you need to be careful about how the solder changes the overall composition. Let's look at the components of the solder: Silver (Ag): 75.0% Copper (Cu): 15.5% Zinc (Zn): 9.5% When soldering, some of the solder will mix with the base material, changing its composition. Let's look at how this can affect the final product. Let's calculate the effect of the solder on the overall composition: Suppose we have a piece of 10 grams of sterling silver to which we add 1 gram of solder. Composition of the item (before soldering): Silver (Ag): 92.5% of 10 g = 9.25 g Impurities (copper and other metals): 7.5% of 10 g = 0.75 g Solder composition: Silver (Ag): 75.0% of 1 g = 0.75 g Copper (Cu): 15.5% of 1 g = 0.155 g Zinc (Zn): 9.5% of 1 g = 0.095 g Now let's mix these quantities: Total weight after soldering: Silver (Ag): 9.25 g + 0.75 g = 10.00 g Copper (Cu): 0.75 g (originally in the product) + 0.155 g (from solder) = 0.905 g Zinc (Zn): 0 + 0.095 g (from solder) = 0.095 g Total Weight: Total weight of the product after soldering = 10 g (product) + 1 g (solder) = 11 g Now let's calculate the percentages for each component: Silver (Ag): (10.00 g / 11 g) * 100 = 90.91% Copper (Cu): (0.905 g / 11 g) * 100 = 8.23% Zinc (Zn): (0.095 g / 11 g) * 100 = 0.86% Conclusion: After adding 1 gram of solder, the total percentage of silver content will drop to approximately 90.91%, which is significantly lower than the required 92.5% for a 925 grade marking. Thus, the use of solder with the specified composition will change the characteristics of the product and may affect the marking. You are right, the solder composition needs to be changed.

Is the mandrel 5mm? How thick is the wire?

[@M.EmilioJewelry]

The wire here is 1.4mm in diameter.

[@M.EmilioJewelry]

Sorry, I can't understand what you mean by a 5 mm mandrel?

[@bamboo979]

​@@M.EmilioJewelrythe rod you use to wrap the wire around. Thank you

[@Anon-mj7xr]

how long did this take? also wondering the weight

[@M.EmilioJewelry]

Hi, in the average time of making a silver bracelet in the "Arabian bismarck" technique weighing 30 grams the process can take: 1. To melt the metal and create the wire: 3 hours 2. Connecting the links and soldering: 2 hours 3. Creating the end piece and installing the clasp: 1 hour 4. Polishing and cleaning: 2 hours So the total time to make the bracelet is approximately 8 hours. Please note that this is only my practice.
