Super Easy Spiral Gem/Bead Cage in Wire by Jem Hawkes

[@user-ci3hp6nq3t]

Nice clear voice, excellent pace for a beginner. I'm new to jewelry making. Recently I accidentally bought a box of beads and a box of crystals with no hole in them. It was such a surprise when I opened the box and wt hell no hole??? On to You Tube to find out what I could do with these. And you have an easy solution for beginners. Thank you for posting this video.

I knew about the "S" curve but not the "C" curve; again, you've covered a few things I did not get before. Thank you so much; you've made beading and wire working so much easier.

You make the spiral cages so easy. I have been struggling to wrap spirals around the beads after rosary linking them. This will be so much easier and I think stronger! I've tried making my scarves with the rosary-bead wire. I've tried making the scarves with the swirling wire. I've seen it done where one closing end scarfs the next opening end. Confusing but it looks cool and it is strong. I look forward to trying this more simple yet elegant style. This was my first video of yours that I came across and I will be sub and seeing what other videos you have. I love your well thought-out and appropriate background. Your jewelry and clothing could have come from my closet, lol. And I think i see beautiful red hair hiding behind your pretty face. My husband has gorgeous long red hair too (he grew it long for me). I would recommend less bright white light in your face though. The bright white washes out your pale pretty skin. If you don't have a warm light or a combo light, then just a little less bright white would really look nice. PS I love your voice. I won't say accent as I am sure you sound like everyone else in your country. I just think the sound is pretty.

Thank you ever so.much for your kind feedback and the sub, I do hope that you will find something else of use within the channel's library. I am basically the colour of cheap copier paper and whilst I have natural dark blonde hair, my Mum is a natural copper red head. Thank you xxx

[@kayhendricks3236]

Jem, you simply amaze me! I have wondered for quite some time, how to make the cages and now, thanks to your efforts and kindness, I know! Thank you so very much - I will be sure to find you on FB and watch you on Sundays!

That's so kind of you, thank you very much for the feedback and for watching xxx

[@alicrawford1857]

Perfect timing as I have been working with these on my bench. I've been spiral crazy of late. :) I love your teaching style.

[@JemHawkes]

I do love a good spiral and they are PERFECT for leaving behind a creative funk too ... if in doubt, spiral in out hahaha ... hope you're having a wonderful day and thank you very much for watching xxx

[@JemHawkes]

Thank you very much xxx

[@rosaelinav8036]

Soooo cute 🥰

[@JemHawkes]

Thank you xxx

[@traceyhumphreys9086]

Great tutorial! Can I just ask, how much wire is needed for each bead. I can see you used 5in for I guess a 10mm bead. I did not want to say use a rectangle stone and run out.

[@JemHawkes]

I think probably the best thing to do is experiment with different lengths of wire, and see what fits :-) honestly, you'll most likely end up using the spiral you create for another bead or project :-) xxx

[@SandyStaley]

Hi Jem, love your videos. Can you do a video on a Bead Cage that you can open and close? I would love to be able to change the bead in a cage.

[@JemHawkes]

I made a clam-shell design a few years ago that opens and closes but it's quite tricky, I'll try to think of a way to simplify it. Thank you for watching xxx

[@vickijeanfaye]

I love your work and look forward to seeing you on Sundays! Can you help me come up with ideas for mens wire wrapped jewelry? This is my struggle…

[@JemHawkes]

Thank you ever so much for hanging out with me on KZbin

[@alicrawford1857]

Me too. I've been trying to wrap a small odd stone for hubby. Jenn's prong setting videos are what brought me to her channel. Now if I can only master it. :)

[@JemHawkes]

Ali just keep going it takes a little practice to make perfect but even the imperfect are always useful or useable ... I'll work harder on creating masculine designs to share xxx

[@jerico1640]

Your video volume is too low I can't hear the instructions

[@JemHawkes]

I've not had any other reported issues of volume on this video. Your issue may be a local one.
