Thank you for the inspiration. Whilst I didn't replicate yours precisely, it inspired me to have a try at my own take on it. My first attempt was good (husband loved it!) and I'm going to have more plays with it to see how else I can build on this design. Thank you, once again.
I am so glad that this has inspired you to create your own design style 🙏😍
Thank you so much. I love this design. It's beautiful. Again, thank you.
You're most welcome!
Always important to know the gauge of wire andsize of stones. What gauge of wire?
Today day date:3-9-23 and time:3:22pm😳. I love jewelry educations,AME😳😇😊
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much I want to make crosses I love that thank you for show me how
You’re so welcome! Best wishes and have fun making them 😍
Did you use square wire or round wire. You did not say. This cross is beautiful.
I used round wire, but you could you square. :-)
Where did you get your flat nose pliers? I have one but they are pointy I see your's is a wider one I would love to get it :)
You can purchase Flat Nose Pliers from any online bead and tool supplier, including 'amazon'. I usually purchase my tools from www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Flat-Nose-Pliers-135mm,-Value-Range-prcode-999-3051
But you'll find many other versions elsewhere too!
If your pliers are pointy, they are not flat nosed pliers, they are called CHAIN NOSED PLIERS. Chain nosed, are very useful for smaller more intricate work. I hope that helps. :-)
Thankyou beautiful work
Your kind feedback is much appreciated 🙏😍
I am guessing this is being filmed in a European venue. We don't use the term "binding wire," that I have ever heard, first off. What is your definition of binding wire? What GAUGE is it, most importantly. And, of course, we need to know what is the composition? Is it solid sterling silver or silver covered copper or brass or what? "0.4 wire" also means nothing to your American audience PROBABLY. (Of course, someone in some other state will, no doubt, pop up and tell me THEY know what it is! But, generally speaking, American video instructions always give the GAUGE.)
Thank you for your enquiry and I will try to answer all your questions.
I am based in the U.K. I am not an American.
I used the term 'binding wire' as I am binding with it. However, it really doesn't matter what gauge it is, as long as it's easy enough to bind or wrap with. I personally use 0.4mm gauge, which is 26 gauge in the U.S.
You can choose any wire you wish, Sterling Silver or, as I did in this video, silver-plated copper wire.
If you would like an approximate gauge chart, this might help:
28 gauge = 0.3mm
26 gauge = 0.4mm
24 gauge = 0.5mm
22 gauge = 0.6mm
20 gauge = 0.8mm
18 gauge = 1mm
I do hope that helps!
Beautiful, good tutorial, easy to follow. Thank you
You're most welcome. Thanks for your feedback 🙏🥰
Those are so amazing ! Thank you for sharing these. 😊😍
You are so welcome 🙂
Beautiful! I’m brand new at making wire jewelry. :) If you were to wire wrap beads to the cross or affix them some way other than glue, how would you do it?
You would use 0.4mm (26gauge) to connect them on to the centre.
@@LindaJonesWireJewellery thank you so much!
Thank you for this pattern. You make it look so easy. I'm going to try this for sure. I love your work!.
I'm so pleased that you're inspired to have a go! Thank you for your kind words x
I absolutely love this, I would love to try to make this, your tutorial is easy to follow, but I will have to wait on trying this...having issues with my hands at the moment, until then I will enjoy looking at your other projects. Thx for sharing.
I hope that your hands recover soon 🙏 and thanks so much for your kind words 🥰
Lovely cross, shape & colours, nice straightforward pattern. Thank you so much for sharing..
I’m most grateful for your positive feedback. Thank you 🙏🥰
Thank you for this great tutorial. I have some square wire that might work out! We shall see hehe.

Simple and lovely. I’m going to make it in copper, darken it with LOS and give it a nice leather cord…it will make a nice gift for a man. Thanks so much!
It will looked beautiful with that antique patina! 🙏❤
