[@ZurickDesigns]

You're welcome!!

[@DumbFishes]

Copper jewlerys are fun and stylish, they go well with a black cloths

[@ZurickDesigns]

Yes!

[@elishadoyle8191]

I'd probably polish them up with my dremel 😊

[@Gizapowerplant]

This is freaking AMAZING!!! Breaking out my washers tomorrow!!!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Wonderful!

[@shatice8879]

Now this is going on my to-do list! Looks like a great weekend project, simple stack rings. Definitely not a week-night-hammer-fest. ;) I would be getting dirty looks from a tired husband Thank you for this!

[@ZurickDesigns]

You’re welcome! ☺️💜

[@michelletanner948]

Fantastic idea for you hardware jewelry. 😆 and they look so rich and expensive.

You came up on my feed this morning and what a delight!

[@ZurickDesigns]

So glad! 🤗💜

[@JoyceLlorens-tw3ex]

It’s amazing to watch you take the simplest thing and then make some thing beautiful out of it. I’ve been joyed each of your videos. Thank you so much.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Wow, thank you! ☺️💜

[@michellewilliams9139]

I ❤ how you made them. For your hand frankensense extract & castor oil pure. Wear the copper it helps.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks for the tips! I do use them. Not much help unfortunately. Too severe

[@leilakirkdietzolsen6741]

Fun ideer ❤️🧑‍🎄🇩🇰

[@annhopy2220]

Thank you, very cleaver. I think I will size a before and after to satisfy my curiosity of size change, LOL! Always enjoy following along with your videos, thank you for your time :)

[@Pamelakaygorman]

Omgosh, you think of everything! Thank you. I can see tons of uses for this.

[@ZurickDesigns]

That’s great! 💜☺️

[@anitaibarra5763]

Love those! I'm definitely going to have to try these!

[@emeraldstar3830]

Cool Idea and the results are quite nice! Thank you for sharing..

[@dawnynz70]

Wonderful I just bought a 160 pack copper washers for the backs of my pendants , you know now after seeing this I am going to make myself a nice copper ring :-)

[@ZurickDesigns]

I saw your ring in the wire weaving group! ☺️💜👍🏻

[@natalieharrison4318]

Love your cute puppers at the end of the video so cute 😍

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks! She’s a riot! ☺️💜

[@GB58able]

That’s really cool! I love copper jewelry❣️. Thanks, I’ve made copper rings out of copper tubes, never washers. Thanks for giving us another idea on how to make rings.

[@ZurickDesigns]

You’re welcome! They are cool and stack nicely too! ☺️

[@bethhenson4691]

That's cool ❤

[@natalieharrison4318]

Omg wow I work with copper washers and I would have never even thought about doing what u just showed us. This is so awesome thanks so very much for sharing this with me.

[@ZurickDesigns]

You’re welcome!!

[@amberm2777]

Oh my goodness I was wondering if there was a way to turn washers into rings without heat. This is awesome I can't wait to try! Thank you so much. I have letter stamps so I'd love to be able to make custom rings for mother's day with childrens initials or special messages

[@ZurickDesigns]

That would be cool!

[@amberm2777]

@@ZurickDesigns I've been having trouble getting this to come out right 😭 my washers keep buckling and looking all wonky....I think I need to anneal more. I'll keep trying though I'm not ready to give up yet lol

[@ZurickDesigns]

@@amberm2777 keep hammering from every angle!

[@lourias]

Make sure you get those "crush" style rings.

[@truthbetold4178]

Beautiful! Thank you ~

[@catherinemartina6469]

Cute pup

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

What an awesome idea.

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

I made a pair of copper earrings and they look great. I got to thinking why not in silver and gold washer. Bad idea! The silver dented up my bench block, and the gold chips off during texturing. So my hubby got 2 set of washer boxes. Live and learn. I still have the copper to work with.

[@LEDewey_MD]

Amazing project idea! :)

[@catherinemartina6469]

Yes, please to know that even if a person had arthritis, they could still do some thing like create jewellery cause I have a strong interest in learning how to do this, but I do have some autoimmune conditions and arthritis is one of my issues.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Definitely! I think it’s good to keep things moving but also know when to take a break!

[@jenniferavenoso7162]

😯 😊 great rings! ...

[@sherryschnebly]

Definitely going to try this!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Wonderful!

[@amygipple827]

Thank you this is awesome

[@anitaibarra5763]

Love this tutorial ❤️ I finally tried it and I feel like such a weakling! You make it look so easy.

[@ZurickDesigns]

It’s kinda rough on the hands!

[@kellyq8132]

Very nice Melissa! I have done connectors and earrings with copper washers but never tried doing a ring. I'm not set up for torch work yet. I just brought all my supplies home from our winter place in Arizona. I need to purchase a tumbler and all my equipment needed for soldering etc..it's a work in progress. Love your work.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you ☺️💜

[@learning5780]

Very cool!

[@MW-yw9bp]

Very cool.

[@caryhedrick2166]

Very informative session! How great is that to get a ring from a washer? I’m getting an idea that the same method might work for a coin! There are special tools (very expensive) for it, but perhaps you can make it without the fancy tools. Great video! Keep up the great work!

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thank you!

[@consueloyoung4484]

Very cute…I love this idea, I have these washers and going to make one for my ring finger that hurts from arthritis….see if it works. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️

[@ZurickDesigns]

Let me know if it works! ☺️💜

[@whatsinanameanyway]

Hi! I"d love to make these, thank you for the tutorial. Do you know if these washers are pure copper or is there anything else added?

[@ZurickDesigns]

I believe they are all copper

[@pamelahansen8842]

Awesome! TY!

[@rhaven50]

Nice job

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Really helpful tutorial, Melissa - thank you! New sub here... 😄

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks for subbing! ☺️💜

[@ddlynndesigns]

I used tape to keep it from sliding.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Good tip! Thanks! ☺️💜

[@dawnnichols928]

Awesome 👌 love it. Where's your next Gem show? 💎

[@ZurickDesigns]

Intergem Rosemont 4/29, 4/30 & 5/1

[@rayetteadair6734]

Excellent ❣❣❣

[@tbilly6201]

That’s great ✌️❤️

[@cathyrezba3132]

I just made this! 😊 Your hand strength must be impeccable because my hands and arms are worn out from making just one ring. Maybe once I get it figured out how to do it the easiest way, my hands and arms may grow stronger.😂

[@ZurickDesigns]

I know! Unfortunately I’m starting to pay for it! 🙁😬 Getting old stinks!

[@helenw1497]

🤣😂🥰我要一直看到小毛孩，喜欢这个小家伙❤

[@ZurickDesigns]

That’s awesome! ☺️💜

[@LiveByDesignNotByDefault]

Lady, you are BRILLIANT! So, how did they sell? What demographic bought them?

[@ZurickDesigns]

People bought them in the Chicagoland area for $10. Not bad!

[@rosaelinav8036]

Love it’s💖💖💖

[@eileenpreucil1762]

Great. Gonna try today! Are there good inexpensive tumblers?! Thanks

[@ZurickDesigns]

I just use a small plastic one and it’s worked fine ☺️

[@doracarrington9219]

Very nice ring to look at but do you need to treat them with anything to stop the skin turning green?

[@ZurickDesigns]

You could put a sealer on them but it may rub off.

[@trishf5]

Hiii love your vids (very zen!) and your work. After approximately 763,000 failed efforts I’ve finally managed to get a ring that’s starting to look like a ring. Are there other ways to smooth and polish other than “power tools” and tumblers? Can you file these by hand and if yes, what kind of file? Thanks a ton!

[@ZurickDesigns]

You could use metal files but that’s hard work! Lol

[@suecarey-bradley805]

Will these turn your fingers green?

[@ZurickDesigns]

If your skin reacts to copper it will.

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you ☺️ your too cool 🤟❤️💋

[@ZurickDesigns]

Thanks! ☺️💜

[@michelleclaycomb2339]

Can you put jewelry with cabochons in the tumbler?

[@ZurickDesigns]

I do depending on the stone. Not for as long usually.

[@carriefrey265]

I’m new to your channel. I would really love to try this. Could you list everything that you need to make it please?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Try the description area

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@ZurickDesigns I'm still astounded that people seem incapable of either listening to instructions, or looking in the description box - given how long KZbin has been around - and that this is the convention for practically _every 'how-to' video I've ever watched!_ As well as being very talented, you have the patience of a saint! Thank you for sharing your talents and skills with us so generously. 🤍

[@ZurickDesigns]

@@221b-Maker-Street thanks ☺️

[@kevinbaldwin2526]

In the video you said that you'd leave a link to the video on how you tumble this kind of stuff. I don't see it... What speed did you set the tumbler for, and what kind of polishing media did you use?

[@ZurickDesigns]

So sorry Here’s the link… kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4jPo5qniqugjM0

[@mollymagoon1073]

I Love these!!! When you put them in the Tumbler what do you put in with it Sand?

[@ZurickDesigns]

I use stainless steel shot

[@ls8330]

Love your videos. How do you keep it from leaving a green finger?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Some people don’t turn green. Different chemistries.

[@laurensmith6558]

hi can i ask what copper wire you use, i have tried several makes and they are all to soft to hold shape. thank you.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Check description! Copper washers ☺️

[@lauradawson6707]

6:48 6:50 so pretty where can I get the tapered measure bar?

[@ZurickDesigns]

It’s a ring mandrel amzn.to/2yhST11

[@peterrschuck]

What do you put in the tumbler with your jewellery please. I've been looking at getting one from Vevor, but they told me it wasn't suitable for jewellery. I'm sorry to hear about you having arthritis my daughter has it bad as well, and she's only 28 but has Chrones disease.

[@ZurickDesigns]

Awww. Poor girl. I use stainless steel shot in just a small plastic rock tumbler

[@peterrschuck]

@ZurickDesigns thank you very much I do appreciate your response.

[@gypsybarrett4402]

Any estimation what inner diameter ends up being in approx ring size? Im hoping to get some washers!!!!

[@ZurickDesigns]

I haven’t figured that out. Potentially the more you hammer it the larger they can get

[@gypsybarrett4402]

@ZurickDesigns my washer kit should arrive today!!!!! Can't wait to start. Really wanted to just go pick one up but all I could find was the auto shop and it was wayyy more expensive for less washers than online :[ so. I was patient haha

[@ZurickDesigns]

@@gypsybarrett4402 right on 👍🏻

[@maryhernandez8818]

Did you debur them?

[@ZurickDesigns]

Hammered and tumbled

[@trustworthyjane5243]

Has anyone experienced the copper rubbing off on tools and tiny little shards of copper coming off their copper washer when hammering, wondering if I got fake copper washer from Amazon?

[@mjremy2605]

I think this would be much easier in a dapping block $40, or even a steel press $60 at Harbor Freight. If you use a Dapping Block + the Steel Press (faster) or Dapping Block + Punch Set (manual), you can turn a washer from a disc into a cylinder faster with no distortion. You can also turn coins into rings, and take a larger ring band and compress it into a smaller ring band (just the band). Here is a video on how to do it with these tools: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnXbdaGtbp2DpLc

[@ZurickDesigns]

That’s cool! I’ll check that out! 💜☺️
