thank you so much for solving my future problem of not wanting to pay so much for so little jump rings and a GREAT AND QUICK way to make them myself (yes I'm new to jewelry making ) ...and I thought you did an EXCELLENT JOB on this video!!!
I am so glad I found your tutorial. The best so far of all I have watched. Loved the way you end them. The only complaint is I had trouble hearing you. Could be just me. Looking forward to more tutorials from you. You are a lovely young woman and quite talented. Thank you again from a granny who is going to have some fun with wire.
Thanks for the lesson on viking knit.. Been looking for a tutorial on this technique but most people.charge for it.. thanks for sharing this seed of info for free.. Look forward to further lessons! I love to learn as much about wire work jewelry as possible. Great job by the way every thing is easy to follow and see CLEARLY. :)
Thank you for this simple video! I've been looking for a way to finish off my weave and have used cone ends and they look silly (imo). This is just perfect for me.
Hmm thinking of making a pair of earrings using this method for my music teacher (I've just finished my GCSEs and shes really put a lot of work into our class) - thanks for the tutorial :)
@BrotherAlpha With the silver sliver? Aye, thats the plan for those. Other ones I do have bracelet and necklace plans for, though I'll have to make them longer with some beads.
I get mine at the local HobbyLobby store, but they have small spools of wire. Yours looks like it holds a lot and I'd like to have large spools so that they last awhile and I don't have to worry about having a box full of small spools. Thank you though! :)
Excellent instructions on making a Viking knit necklace. I have a couple of questions: If I made one out of gold, should I use half hard or dead soft gold wire, and how many CT’s is best? 10cts 14ct? Thanks for letting me know. If you have the information, how about silver wire? Thanks!
A few months too late probably (Sorry, I am not on UA-cam much these days anymore) If you were to use gold, I would use a soft wire. Half-hard is fine too. But metal work hardens, so the more you twist and wrap it, the stiffer its going to get. These days when I am doing viking knit, I tend to use sterling silver wire. The best reels I have available to buy come half-hard, and I cut an arms length at a time. by the time I get to the end of the wire its pretty stiff, and much more sore on the fingers than copper wire is. I believe with gold, the higher the ct, the softer it naturally will be.
I can't really recommend a site as I've not used any for the US myself. Most craft stores should have small reels of craft wire. I did find scientificwire. com which appears to have the same type of wire I use, though they dont have as many options. Wires. co.uk does ship worldwide.
You are a jewel for sharing this for free! Many thanks to you and hope you have a thriving jewelry business....you're the best!

Hey! Great video! Watched both parts!
If you put a small hole near one end of your brass rod, you can very nicely twirl the rod and make jump rings nice and tight like.

Simply Amazing!

Yes, the ones in this video is double knit. The first short and silver one is using 0.315mm wire, and the copper one is 0.5mm wire.

Where do you get your spool of wire from? Could you send a link if its online, please?
Thank you so much for this! Really helpful and clear. :)
where do you get your copper wire ?
where did you get that much copper ? (spool) ?? :)

@shortfusedleathernk I assume you assume that because of the wee skull? I keep all my wire cuttings in that skull :-p
