Make a Simple Pretty Sweater Bracelet: A Silversmithing Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 кві 2024
- This tutorial shows how to make a delicate and pleasing Peach Moonstone sweater bracelet. Sweater bracelets are designed to lay so the top is partially over the back of the hand to make them visible when wearing long sleeves. For materials, I used 6 gauge sterling half round wire, 18 gauge sterling sheet, and 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) fine silver bezel strip in 28 gauge. I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande.
It is important to use safe practices when dealing with fire, sharp tools, and chemicals. Here is a video on safety: • General Silversmithing...

Your solderite board looks like a piece of art. That would be great for a background for your wife to do another sketchbook.
That’s an interesting idea. Thanks!
Really great bracelet!
Thanks Larry!
Beautiful work ❤
Thank you:)
Gorgeous bracelet and you've gotten fancy on us with the new solder board! Lol
Thank you Silverandstonegirl! I've always wanted to try a ceramic honeycomb pad. So far it seems pretty effective:)
This is an awesome video... Thanks.........
I'm really glad you liked it Kenneth!
Very nice
Thank you very much James!
Yes you did
What did I do Larry?
Never heard of a sweater Bracelet before. Beautiful work as always Chad and thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Gazz! Do you ever post what you make anywhere?
@@chadssilversmithing No, I don't post anything, jewellery wise. I've only just got most of my kit sorted out and health issues keep getting in the way.
Gorgeous bracelet! I love your voice. Very soothing. I like a spray bottle lots of times like you because you can protect your peice from fire scale.
Thanks John. I mostly use a spray bottle as well:)
Beautiful, Chad! Thank you very much!
Thank you Melinda!
Never heard of that either-beautiful! Thanks Chad😊
Thank you Lauryl!
I love the simplicity of this bracelet. Could you tell me how you accounted for the curve in the measuring process for the length of the bracelet. Thanks. Always love watching your videos I learn so much. 😊
Thanks Kathy! I drew the picture to the length of a bracelet I made a while back. I shaped a thin piece of wire to match the shape of the band in the drawing and then straightened it out, using that as a guide for the length of half round I would need. Welcome to my Patreon! Thanks for joining:)
❤
Thanks again WizardKitty!
This was fun. Chad, I do have a question for your upcoming Q&A video: Why do you heat a piece and then quench in cold pickle? Is it not more effective to use warm pickle to clean off surface oxides and flux? And is a "soak" in cold pickle the best clean? What are your criteria for those choices? Thanks! I'm always interested in the "why." 🌺 🌺 🌺
I will add those questions to the list! Thanks Flying Chef:)
Hi Chad! that bracelet is so pretty and unique! I was wondering if you could make a setting tutorial for trillion cut stones? Very interested to see thanks!
Hello Autumn:). Were you looking for a bezel setting or a prong setting?
@@chadssilversmithing prong! Thanks for replying
Thanks for this Chad. Shaping the bezel for the tapered stone was good instruction. The bracelet is lovely. What did you think of the ceramic soldering block?
Hello Bill! So far it seems to work pretty well. The perforations are handy. Thanks for the nice comment!
lol… wefinaly got to see your Vlasic pickle jar 😂🤣🤪
Valasic🙆🏽
Oh, did I show that on camera?:)
How do you get it so shinny? It's so pretty!
Hello Mary! I use White Diamond Polishing compound followed by Zam.
Hi Chad, beautiful work. Chad I purchased 10 gayge round silver wire to make cuff bracelets. What can I use to make it easier to bend? It is half hard.
Hello Pamela:) If you have a torch, you can anneal the wire to soften it back up. Are you just going to bend them, or will you be soldering stuff to them?
