I really like the way you teach us. Yes we are watching!

[@sandranething9382]

I loved watching Rose. Everything that happens at home, happened to her. It gave me confidence. Perfect heading does not happen. We drop things, lose items, and have to start all over. Thank You!

[@FireMountainGems]

Absolutely! You have to embrace the imperfection!

[@crystalpocan9779]

Your instructions are a gift to an ADHD learner ❤

[@Libra523]

I found this video more informative than any other video I have watched. She not only shown me things I was doing wrong but also other things that made me more interested in using more than just stretch cord. Patty was a real joy to watch and listen to. I usually get bored quickly, but I had to watch till the end. I also bookmarked it to be able to watch again any time.

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@beckyjohnstone1610]

I was told sterling silver crimps were the most secure by a trusted store. They really are the most secure. Well worth the cost.

[@FireMountainGems]

The sterling silver crimps are great! 😊

[@donnamoore7554]

Thank you so much. Great video. I have no experience but learning is so much fun and with every video I feel more comfortable.
❤

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks for watching!@@donnamoore7554

[@donnamoore7554]

I was watching a special on designing rings for diamonds. Something I had never heard before is that whatever you use for the ring, white gold, silver…. The main diamond should be set in platinum because it’s the strongest. I thought it was interesting.

[@dalemills7926]

Definitely not true..this grandmother has made jewelry for 50 years..tube ones are the most sturdy..not necessarily silver but tunes always are best

[@theartisancompany]

Love crimps with crimp covers. The covers make everything look finished.

[@FireMountainGems]

They really do and they are so simple to use. Thanks for watching!

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Oh my gosh this was packed with loads of information! Thanks so much!

[@FireMountainGems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Chispa831]

Your enthusiasm and humor are inspiring! Your instructions are more thorough and easier to understand than some other videos I've watched. Thank you!

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@Hesteforstanddk]

I know this is an older video. But I found it now and I would like to thank you for having my jewelry looking considerably more professional from today!
Besides I enjoy your sense of humor a lot. Made me stick with the video until the end without allowing anything to interrupt me😊

As a newbie to Crimps this video was my greatest find, it's brilliant thank you. You made it fun, I love how you teach, thank you since. I had to watch it twice though because I couldn't stop staring at how beautiful your hands are 😊💕

[@hannekebennett1]

Love watching you do these! It's just like visiting with for real. The floating necklace, with those very handy cut straw spacers and crimp- bead- crimp beauties! I'm fascinated by your color changing nails! Where'd you get that?

I love your personality when doing these videos!! I just starting making jewelry a few months ago with decoupage and wood. But this week I started using the gemstones. This video has been so informative and detail oriented that I am more at ease about branching out to make more jewelry pieces for my business. Thank you so much!!

[@FireMountainGems]

Thank you so much for watching! Best of luck on your jewelry-making journey! 😊

[@FireMountainGems]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@faitht3643]

Thanks Rose for an informative and entertaining tutorial on crimp beads! I've never used chain before but after watching your tutorial, I might consider using it in the future instead of wire.

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

[@mariabooth8104]

Wow - what an awesome idea to use the straws and spacers to guide the space between the beads. I love it. Thanks for sharing. 😊🙂

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@FrostiHunsinger-rl1yk]

[@FireMountainGems]

I love your videos! This was very informative. I have trouble easily closing jump rings so I’m going to look for your video on that! You are so informative and fun to watch and listen to!

[@rhondajones6633]

Very helpful! I particularly liked how you showed how to crimp a chain and how to ensure equal lengths between illusion necklaces.

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad we could help! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

I am watching eleven months after your Live but it is perfect timing for me! 😊 I am getting ready to figure out what to order and your crimp tutorial was so helpful! I have a few magnetic clasps because I personally need those since I have issues with other clasps, but, yes the magnet wants to stick to the needle nose pliers! 😮 What a challenge. But worth it!

[@FireMountainGems]

11 months late is the perfect time to watch this! 😉 So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@lillielong7426]

Amazing is the word.

[@pameladudrow247]

I, too, use sterling silver 2x2’s for all of my crimping! It was only by personal experience that I came to this valuable conclusion! Stronger, bendable and not brittle!

[@jadeenelving247]

Me and my grandson loved your video your laugh is so contagious we laughed with you loved your demonstration ❤️❣️❤️

[@FireMountainGems]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😊
