So Nick, how do you make an old silver chain shine like new?
you could start with soap on a nail brush surprising how much that will do … N
hi Dodger, I tend to just throw stuff in my barrel polisher and forget about it for a few hours … comes out gleaming … cheers … Nick
Beautiful work! What's the wire gauge you used here?
Gorgeous! someone would have to teach me that in person. Phenomenal as always
thanks for that Sinclaire, hopefully you can work it out from the long play video I originally made ua-cam.com/video/TXe0xx-09ZE/v-deo.html … Nick

Very beautiful and helpful! Thankies 💜
thanks Erika, nice to hear it was helpful … N
Wow, that's gorgeous
thanks for that Pat … N
Such a beautiful job. Besides everything else you did, the way you make that solder flow exactly where you want it to… it’s amazing. I was a trained and certified jeweler for over 20 years and I never got to the point where I could trust that those little pallions of solder weren’t going to fly off the flux as soon as the heat of the torch hit it. I didn’t get to fabricate as much as I wanted to and never got to work in silver as much as I wanted to. Anybody I worked for was only interested in gold, platinum and diamonds. Whenever I would show them some of my silver designs, they’d something like, “that’s great; just do it in gold!” Right! Some things don’t translate from silver to gold, you know! Just now seeing your videos and am enjoying them. Keep up the good work; I remember when my hands looked like that every day!
thanks for your comment Marcy … I mostly use solder paste for chain making, its a quick easy and convenient product to use for small items. Nice to hear a professional jeweller can enjoy watching my videos, being a hobbyist I’ve never worked with gold but apparently you can get paste solder for gold just rather more expensive being £140 for 3g. I find it a real struggle trying to keep my hands and fingers looking presentable for close-up videos … but hey its the real world … cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff if your hands were real presentable, a lot of people may question if you’re a jeweler. Lol
Many times I went to the mall right after work when I was young and a few times, got some weird looks and so when I looked in the mirror and see that my neck and chest above my shirt were literally red from the red rouge blowing back at me from the polisher, I’d try to remember next time. As far as my hands, sometimes I just jokingly told people I was a mechanic. Seems a mechanic being female (at least back in MY day) was more shocking than being a jeweler. I haven’t sat at a bench in, oh, I guess it’s been close to 20 years. I was still working when platinum was getting popular and I hated working on platinum. Also, it was during the era of Princess cuts. I broke the same $50K diamond TWICE, originally AND again,when it came back from being recut. Thankfully, barely a point was lost all told, but those corners!!! People think diamonds are indestructible. When it got back from the cutters again, I refused to touch it. The guy that I consider the best jeweler in our shop said , “Oh Marcy, give it to me!” Less than three minutes lighter, he looked up at me and smiled and said, “You are not gonna believe this!” But yep, it has slivered off at the same corner as it had with me. The weird thing is that diamond did not show anything that should’ve caused it, no inclusions, nothing. The problem is, a stone should not have four corners; It’s just an accident waiting to happen whether it’s being set or even in wearing it. It’s like one long after that, I got out of the business. I was burned out. So much has changed in the industry now. So many cool tools, I sort of miss it, but I’ve never made anything as pretty as the stuff I’m seeing you make.
I’ve also had a lot of dirty jobs and have got used to to funny looks after a day welding. I love sitting at my bench in my spare time fiddling with bits and bobs, couldn’t imagine life without it. I suppose it’s different when it’s a career everybody likes to retire one day and get away from it. Your endeavours as a commercial jeweller make an interesting read, you could write a book on the subject. not a job for me I shy away from responsibility and the thought of working with a 50K diamond would give me sleepless nights or nightmares. I’m a happy hobbyist with mostly budget tools very different to a modern commercial shop with all the 3-D printers and microscope welders they use these days. Must pay well when you get it right … all the best to you … Nick

That's awesome 💯💯💯💯💯💯
thanks for that Mike, I do find chain making very gratifying … N
Nice trick i will try this design with gold 😻😻😻 thank you sir iam also gold smithh from india
thanks AP, I would love to see this made in gold … being a hobbyist I’ve never worked with it … N
Very cool
thanks for that Tina … N
Watched for the second time and just as amazed! I'd like to make this design someday. Very cool
Cheers Thebarbarian, this one turned out to be a very popular video … not sure how to repeat it in someway … the key to assembling this knot easily is lots of annealing at every stage … good luck with it … Nick
@Nickscreativestuff yeah, I was wondering how you got that metal to move like that. Annealing is definitely the key!
A lot more info in the original long play version of this vid … here’s a link if you’re interested and not seen it … ua-cam.com/video/TXe0xx-09ZE/v-deo.html … cheers … Nick

I literally said "woah" when the 2 rings slid together. Absolutely fantastic.
thanks Ellis, it’s an oddly satisfying look when pulling two links together like this … cheers … Nick

thanks Ana, my next video is turning this design into a wrist chain … N

I am currently in a metals a jewelry class and we are doing a chain making unit, I can’t wait to try this technique out!
Nice to hear that zara, The essential part of this technique is lots of annealing. There’s more info in the long play version of this vid if you’ve not seen it, here’s a link … ua-cam.com/video/TXe0xx-09ZE/v-deo.html … cheers … Nick

WOW!! What a great idea! Thank you.
I like making chainmaile jewelery, but this is next level! looks like you silver soldered the links to beable to shape them.. I'm gonna gave to try this!!
thanks for that Sam, The links are definitely well soldered to cope with the pulling and stretching with this technique. however I always manage to break a few … lots of annealing is the key to this … cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff
Righton! Thanks for the tip.
Beautiful work Nick.

Bueatiful I bet everyone wishes they had the right tools and more importantly the knowledge how to do it thats something I could do for the rest of my life
thanks for that Wadeo … i’ve always had the bug for collecting tools, fiddling around and making stuff … I couldn’t imagine life without it … nice one … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff I have the silver well some maby a dozen ounces and been buying some loose stones but I'd realy like to be able to make some mice pieces out of it but for now I'll just keep buying and 1 day maby watch a video on what tools and how to best set it up so it's work smarter not harder but I'm not against hard work it just makes sense to lurn the best and most affected way,thanks for getting back to me
A dozen ounces of silver sounds like a nice stash … I was amazed how easy it was when I learnt how to convert scrap silver into reusable wire …. A very satisfying process cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff I've got a stash of scrap silver,spoons,rings,bangles,but I allso have ounces and bigger and smaller amounts I've bought from Tasman bullion and I just wish I knew how and had the tools that's there both pretty big problems but I'll never stop watching videos and books that catch my eye to see techniques and the tools required,the technique is gonna be a hard thing to lurn but nothing ever worth doing is easy but the tools are the part that scare me and honestly that amount of silver is nothing I know that.but thanks
i’ve learnt a lot from books and the Internet but there’s nothing quite like hands-on in at the deep end opportunities in workshops, schools friends and and other peoples studio spaces. I started out at a very well equipped evening class that I enrolled on, a 12 week introduction to silversmithing a 2 hour evening group 1 day a week … A great kick start into a variety of techniques … N
Love it 😍!!!!

Thanks Guadalupe … N
That's very cool! Beautiful job!👍🙂 Btw, that was very clever putting something larger on one side of your pliers to shape your jump rings. I've been doing it the hard way.... well not exactly the hard way but albeit proficient, it hasn't been the most efficient way of doing it. Going forward, I'll be doing it your way! Thanks for sharing this! 😊
thanks for that Tammygurl, i’ve been playing around with these pliers for awhile now very versatile and adaptable. this technique even works with odd shapes like squares as long as you can hold onto it and stop it from twisting … have fun … Nick
Просто и красиво👍
thanks AVA … N
WOWWWW
👍😎👍 … N
That is just absolutely incredible, very good job sir. I'd love to own one of those some day.
thanks for your comment Shannon, if I was more commercial I could be making these chains to sell. being a hobbyist at the moment it’s just for the pure pleasure … cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff I think having a video of someone handmaking the jewellery you wear would be awesome. Could record a montage like this to send to customers with the piece as well as uploading here if you did start selling.

I always love your videos and this silver chain necklace is fabulous, but the only thing I noticed that I would change is that clasp… this looks like a really good sturdy, strong necklace and that clasp is not going to hold up at all. I don’t know if that’s all you had at the time of the video, but I would make a nice toggle clasp or some type of an S clasp. But those small spring clasp just really won’t work. And the only reason why I’m saying this is if someone who is kinda new to making jewelry And then they just see that type of clasp that you have used, because you are such a great jewelry designer that comes up with the fabulous ideas they’re gonna trust in you that that clasp will hold up….
Just saying….
I love the silver chain❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks for expressing your opinion autumn. Being a happy have a go hobbyist I’ve never heard of people having a problem with these expensive sterling silver lobster clasps. I suppose I use them because they are quick easy and what I thought reliable to use. it’s good to hear peoples feedback otherwise I would never learn of such issues. I will endeavour to start to make my own clasps for future videos and not to use these commercially manufactured ones … I appreciate your encouragement … cheers … Nick

Hi Allai, I use what’s called a barrel polisher for the final shine. Chains spend four hours tumbling in stainless steel shot as a simple way to get into all the small spaces… N
More of a square knot but still absolutely beautiful
For better SEO results … N
That was awesome!! Thank you for showing this. I would love to learn how to do this. It's a gorgeous chain.
thanks for that Marti, definitely have a go, I come up with ideas like this by playing around with copper wire first … I only move on to silver once i’m completely happy with the design and well practised. The other key to making this is to be constantly annealing and then sterling silver doesn’t mind being bent and moved this much … cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff Thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely try that.
good luck with it … N
Гарно зроблено
Thanks for that Pekkar … N
Yo lo hubiera unido como cualquier otra cadena y hecho el quiebre para luego pasarlo al desbaste, pero se ve muy bien el diseño. Me gusta 😎👌

i’m sure you’re right DNS, never had a lump of gold in my hand to play with … would be nice to have a go one day … maybe I should set up some sort of gold patron scheme … 🏆 … cheers … Nick
Hey Nick, awesome work :) I've been doing similar things but with copper, I'd love the do it the right way though. How do you get rid of tool marks and polish up the chain at the end? I'd love to work with precious metals.
thanks for that Redstoner, I start with the coarsest option on the worst marks and then work down. fine file, buff stick, silicon abrasives on a flex shaft and then finally a barrel polisher for chains works exceptionally well. Definitely have a go with sterling silver, very similar to working with copper … if you can silver solder copper you’ll have no problem working with silver … cheers … Nick
That looks like an activity I'll never do willingly probably not for money either
hi Anthony, good job we are all different, I quite enjoy repetition … monotony is another spice of life … cheers … Nick
