I have wondered how to predetermine wire length for years. Thanks for telling how you do that. Is it possible to do a video on just that~determining lengths for necklaces~bracelets~anklets? Also~ do these simple bracelets need to be annealed/pickled? I'm so a newbie but want to learn THE RIGHT WAYS from the start. I feel you might be the one to teach me/us. Thanks so much in advance.
Is there a reason that when you click the links in the description box for supplies it goes to a page that says we couldn’t find anything, is the shop closed??
Thank you very very much for your tutorials. You’re very easy to follow along. Thank you for that I am just wondering what kind of a hole punch you are using to punch in your wire is it just a regular hole punch? Everybody uses to punch holes in paper? I tried finding a link to buy your whole punch, but I couldn’t find it thank you thank you very much.
Susan you and your jewelry tutorials fabulous!!! I made a couple of brass bangles with the paddles will be making some with gemstones.Thank you Susan for sharing your jewelry designs❤
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS SUSAN! This one is especially one of my favorites! I actually made my first bangle bracelet right after watching this video about 2 or 3 years ago. With that being said….can anyone tell me what kind of wire she used here? I know the gage but she never said if it was Brass, Parawire, or German Style wire? How did she get them so shiny? That’s another question… should we treat the wire with a high shine spray top coat or the stuff I buy from JTV so the wire won’t turn my wrists green (especially copper) it doesn’t like me. Lol.😂 but I was thinking like the Brass… will it keep it from tarnishing a lot? And the German style wire… will it keep that from tarnishing or chipping or whatever? Sorry about all the questions but I’ve been watching Jewel School for years now and have bought,,Loved, and Learned a lot of things,but these have been questions I have never known. Even after watching older videos, some have been answered but these last few I could never get the answer to . If you or anyone out there can help me, I would sooo appreciate it!!! Thank You to SUSAN and the whole JTV JEWEL SCHOOL TEAM 💕
Hola cómo estás ?? Recién encuentro tu canal y me gustado mucho, quisiera saber por favor, qué grueso tiene el alambre de hacer el aro para la pulsera.... Muchísimas Gracias ❤️🙏y Muchas Bendiciones 🙏
I love adding bling or gemstones ! I’m new to wire bending so I get a little to much wire wrapped around the object , then I don’t like it ! But you always give measurements and it works out perfect or I’m a perfectionist and don’t trust myself ! Lol PS . Everything I’ve made of yours , I love ! Thank you for teaching and it looks like you really love what your doing! 🤟🏻❤️
Hi, which metal do you use? Does it get rust or dark with time? Or is it gold fill? Thanks for the classes... always making our Wednesdays more interesting! 😊
Thank you so much! We have an amazing selection of nuggets at JTV -- www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=nuggets&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All?mcid=XSOjsyt Good luck and have fun!
Heart shaped lava rock gems and a lavender oil I put together I believe I got it from one of your video’s care packages ,from CVS I put together, looked like lavender oils on lava rocks that you were wire wrapping a birdcage ,so I kind of took a few of your ideas and put together!
Yeah that's a bummer. We do sell out of wire very quick. There are some great jewelry making product sites out there where you can find what you need. Do a quick internet search and I bet you'll get a couple of reputable sites as your first hit. Sorry and good luck!
So i bought beadsmith hold punch pliers try to make your bracelet 12 gauge wire I flat the wire beadsmith hold punch pliers cannot punch the wire let me know if i am doing any thing wrong thanks
It’s amazing 😍😍😍 How to write mandrel . I tried to find it on google but it gave me anything but not this silver thing you use it for your bangel , help ❤️
I agree with Holly Jaye could you please do a video of wire lengths I am also a newbie have waisted a great deal of wire due to not knowing how much to use so I guess, the new craft is enjopyable but it is becoming expensive for me to continue waisting as much as I do. I have loved all the tutorials I have watched so far & you make it achievable thank you
I am using the very same brand and size wire and the gold coating peels off no matter what type of hammer or block I use. How did you prevent this from happening?
Knocking is more effective if done on a non vibrating surface. Even when you knock to make your bangle round n nice on the mandrel, a rubber surface on the hammer or mandrel would be gentle on the metal n might be more effective . Try it🙂

Hi Dawn! This is simply called a 2.5mm metal hole punch. Here is a link to the Impress Art double hole punch we carry: www.jtv.com/product/small-2-hole-screw-down-punch-makes-1-6mm-and-2-4mm-holes/JST795?mcid=XSOjsyt - This is mainly used for metal blanks, but if you want the handheld tool, which works better for hammered wire like in the video, a quick internet search should get you to a viable link!
Hi! Gold filled wire is a great option for someone who wants precious gold jewelry without the cost of solid gold. You run the risk of marring the plating when you hammer it, so just use your best judgement. You may want to hammer a small part of the wire as a test before making an entire project.
Heyy, Can I make the bangles without the hammer thing and the thing that makes the ends rounder (sorry I forgot the names) or is it completely necessary for the finished look?
The flat file is made bu eurotool and here are the specifics: Great for the beginner for precise filing and finishing when working with jewelry. Made of the cutting steel. Medium cut. 6 inches long.
This is such a pretty design Susan, they indeed look addictive;) What type of 12g wire did you use that didnt lose it's color when hammering?? Copper? Thanks!
Your best bet is to use a solid wire like brass or copper or sterling silver or goldfill so you don't deal with plating flaking off and a different color wire showing. Try this: www.jtv.com/product/artistic-wire-in-brass-and-crimp-connectors-in-antq-brass-tone-kit-includes-12-14-16-gauge-wire/JSKIT0624?mcid=XSOjsyt
I love your tutorials and information. I have been looking for a battery wire rounder (at jtv, amazon, etc) and cannot find one. Can you please tell me the sku# or item # and where to find it. Thank you so much.
Hi Cheryl. The base part of the tool is actually the Beadalon Bead Reamer. The "wire rounder" is an attachment for the Blue Base Tool. They have multiple attachments for different wire gauges. I found it on Amazon.
Check out this video and see if this technique won't work for adding beads to your nugget bangle! No Solder Bangle with Beads ua-cam.com/video/_uW8VCLUMEk/v-deo.html
Hi Susan. I love your videos. Thank you so much. Would a wire rounder 1.2 mm attachment work on the 12 gauge wires. I a new to the jewelry making and I am just gathering all my tools. It’s a hobby that i started to do to relieve my stressful life from work. Thanks to your Tutorial videos❤️

Muchísimas Gracias ❤️🙏y Muchas Bendiciones 🙏
I wonder why you think people have those specialty tools at home. Nice work though
Susan, thank you for breaking the ice between me and wire. Never have luck with wire. That is now an going to be another jewel in my crown.
I love this! Susan, you make such beautiful designs! Thank you for sharing! 💜
Absolutely I would use the stone! OK, I'd make one or two plain and then a couple with different stones. They look great stacked!
Your tutorials are superb. No nonsense or dragging on. Thank you 💋

A leather mallet would be a better choice for forming around the mandrel.
Hi, which metal do you use? Does it get rust or dark with time? Or is it gold fill?
Thanks for the classes... always making our Wednesdays more interesting! 😊
I clicked on the link and it said 12 gauge yellow brass', from JTV.. nice findings listed there as well!
Ok, I just ❤❤❤❤❤ all of these bangles, but can we talk about that necklace???!!!🤩 Have you done a tutorial on that? I need it in my life!!!🤗
Is that 14k wire?
Where do you recommend purchasing nuggets. You're an excellent teacher.

Susan could you show how to make bangles with beads?
Question how do u make the hoop ear ring that are beveled for inlays
I forgot how I ended up here (not on purpose, lol) but this would be great for making some bangles that actually fit my wife (trans, so bigger hands)!
A good trick is to measure your wife's fist. That will let you know just how big you need to make the bangle for it to fit over her hand!
They are just beautiful. Do you have any other tutorial about putting stones on ready made bangles?🦋👍😎
Heart shaped lava rock gems and a lavender oil I put together I believe I got it from one of your video’s care packages ,from CVS I put together, looked like lavender oils on lava rocks that you were wire wrapping a birdcage ,so I kind of took a few of your ideas and put together!

👍👏 Thank you!!! Loved this❤
Thank you ☺️
This is my favorite bracelet and my friends get this one and they love ❤️ them ! I make both ...

14 gauge….. What type of metal?
Hi! Susan is using a gold wire here, but you can get a gold "over" base metal that may be more cost effective. Good luck!

The 12ga wire is a gold over sterling wire that is 2mm thick. The 22ga wire is a non-tarnish, gold colored parawire.
Thank you! I love watching your videos.
How many inches?
about 8
These bangles look amazing and easy to do! Was wondering how would u go about adding smaller stones or beads to the sides of the nugget?
Check out this video and see if this technique won't work for adding beads to your nugget bangle!

What did you use to make the hole in the nuggets where did they come pre drilled I'd be afraid of breakage thank you please reply
Local Stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby have pre-holed nuggets to get started with.
Hi Susan. I love your videos. Thank you so much. Would a wire rounder 1.2 mm attachment work on the 12 gauge wires. I a new to the jewelry making and I am just gathering all my tools. It’s a hobby that i started to do to relieve my stressful life from work. Thanks to your Tutorial videos❤️
Hi Maribel! Beadalon makes a tip specifically for 12-14ga wires, which are generally 2.1mm-1.6mm wires. Yours may be a bit too small. Good luck!
@@JewelSchool Thanks Susan I will look into that. I started making the bangles that you taught and they are so much fun. My nieces loved them. They said it’s unique and stylish. Thank you so much😃
You could add bead caps or small beads as well 😉
Susan it’s the first time I see your videos, and I love it 🥰 thank you very much
Simple and elegant. Love it. 🙏❤️🥰
I like just only Susan’s video.
Thank you Mrs. Susan I will try this bangles, you are an amazing teacher!
Are the rounded parts of the bangles supposed to be flat after your hammer them on the mandrel?
No. Just hammer lightly to help texturize the wire and get it back into shape. Hammering will also harden the wire, making it a bit more sturdy!
