This really does rock. I'm saving this video and I'm going to watch it again and again so it sticks in my head.
Excellent video!!!
Thank you, Cory
Great work and craftsmanship
I took a great interest in your fall away bracelet clasp. I would enjoy a short video dedicated to just the making of the fall away bracelet clasp. Thanks
Thank you for watching Serapio. I’m very proud of that clasp as it was only an idea in my head rather than something that I’ve done before and for practical reasons worked brilliantly. I will add this to my to-do list and make sure to press record the next time I have to make one.
@@jacothejeweller Thank you for being so kind as to share. I'll watch for your post on the clasp.
Me too!
Incredible!
Thanks mate, its actually quite refreshing to have an artist commentating his way thru the project, great job.
Thanks buddy. I’m getting more comfortable with this whole camera and filming thing. But it needs to be done - thanks again 🙏🏻
super informative thank you!
Perfectamente ejecutado y explicado. Muchas gracias
Thank you!!
Mesmerizing 🤩
Beautiful Diamond Bracelet😊Wish It Was “Mine!”
Great bracelet, wonderful work👍. I watched your video with great interest. Thank you .
Awesome!
Love it!
Oh my goodness! It looks amazing. I had no idea how much work goes into making a piece of jewelry specifically the tennis bracelet.
Thanks for that 🙏🏻
thank you it was very useful
This is so fascinating to see! Thank you for sharing. I had no idea what all went into making my bracelets!
An absolute pleasure Alisha
An amazing video, so much detail and dedication. Thank you for sharing.
🙏🏻
Awesome video bru. I really wanted to see the whole process after I saw your other video on just the settings, awesome work!
Cheers Ben 👍🏻
Beautiful job buddy
Wow, absolutely stunning!
😊🙏🏻
Wow thanks for this video! I always wanted to know how this kind of bracelet was made. Awesome work!
Many thanks Juliana, I’m glad you found it interesting. 😊
Wow! Thank you. I’ve always stayed away from making these from scratch but I think I’ll try after this (goldsmith for 12 years). Love your work style!
Joris, I feel your pain. These are so much cheaper to buy but so satisfying to make. Good luck man - you are in for a lot of fun.
Awesome work as usual Jaco, I like how calm you are with your voice and the work, your shop and tools look pristine (the way they should be). I also admire how you approach your work and don't cut any corners. The whole video was amazing, to the point, crisp with details, without gimmicky camera tricks or over the head background music, while at it, I love your original music, adds a bit more character and charm. Just keep them coming mate.
Thanks Gopal, such a lovely compliment. I love this work. I wish I could do more original music though. It’s the most fun to make the entire video, jewellery, edit and music but time runs out so it’s not always possible. Thanks again for the lovely words.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and displaying your talent with this video. You have a new fan.
Super kind words are always welcome 😉. You are very welcome and happy to have you here.
This is a very interesting and useful lesson! I am very grateful to the wonderful master!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻
PS - the fall-away clasp is super nice... the solid strip of metal is much more durable/secure than the wire ones. I'm constantly adjusting the wire safety catch on the side of my tennis bracelet. BEAUTIFUL WORK! ❤❤❤
Just getting into silversmithing and really appreciate the time and detail you went into here. Will definitely be watching more of your content 👍
Ah this is great to read, welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video, it’s our pleasure to make these - as long as they’re helping, we enjoy the process. 🙏
Wow, really awesome job! Thank you.
Thanks Vince, I appreciate that.
only been making jewelry for two years but i will have to try this! love the video! 🎉
Once you start, it’ll be fun all the way through. Just keep your focus and do it - then let me know how you did 👌🏻
Such an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for that. Very well explained too, Not many goldsmiths with this quality of tutorial on UA-cam.
Thanks Daniel. I wish I had more time as I’ve got a bunch more to edit. I appreciate the feedback- have a great day, Jaco
There are jewellers who won't show you all THEIR TRICKS of the trade.
Very helpful, thanks 🤟👍
Thanks Pierre. Thanks for contributing. This channel is for all of us 💪🏻
Informative and helpful craftsman levels to strive for 👏🏾👍🏾
Thank you for that 🙏🏻
Thanks. :-) your comments are just right -
I like that you don't smear anoying back ground music over all, keeping it to the commentless parts
You are welcome 🙏🏻
Very Nice
Thks for share very much
BEAUTIFUL
😊
thank you for your videos.
Thank you for watching. 💫
Wonderful video!
Very kind of you to say 🙏🏻
So greatful for.this video fully detailed.
Thank you Jose. The aim is to make content with purpose. I try and show things that I had questions about when I started out. I’m glad you liked it.
Impressive work.
Mikael, very kind of you to say. Thank you.
Thank you, I was looking for such information
Glad to help Manson 👍🏻

Hi. Is there the same fixing system for square stones?
@ I will try and do a video focusing a bit more on different stone shapes and how to set them. But for four claws the method would be similar 👌🏻
@@jacothejeweller Thank you. I will be grateful for the next movie.
tnx for the demo sir ilearn a lot...
I’m glad you did 🙏🏻
I've always liked the tennis bracelet.I did my jewellery apprenticeship in Johannesburg,i started in 1982 and qualified in 1987.I worked for Morris Mensky then went on to work for world famous SID FORMAN for about 4 years.
Good stuff Stephen. I know the years you speak of. It was a different story back then all together. Old school. And Sid was a genius. I worked there too.
Very interesting!
Interested nice design
Joven Maestro, le quedo Hermosa ,Gracias por su paciencia y conocimiento excelente profesor mi Dios lo bendiga ,Feliz Fin de semana . LO SIGO
gracias por sus amables palabras
Thank you very much!!!
It’s our pleasure - we’ll keep these kind of videos coming.
It's beautiful
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
👌WOOOOOOOW
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jewellery making has always been one of my dreams but not as well as cooking😊😊. Your work is second to none👌👌👍👍👍. Keep up the good work❤❤
I’m glad you enjoy my videos Parnik. Thank you for the kind words. I need to sharpen my cooking skills at the same time 😄
@@jacothejeweller that is so kind of you🌹🌹
Love the video! Quick question though if I’m working with different size stones (eg: 3.9-4.1mm) stones should I just keep each setting area 4.1 and drill different size holes for the different stones to keep it looking even?
Hey Jeff, I would stay on 4mm. Mid point. Your stones are so close - rather let the settings dominate the design and let the diamonds do the sparkling. Thanks for the feedback and good luck.
Hi Jaco, thanks for the tutorial i really like your work. How do i go about getting a custom tennis chain?
Hi there! It’s our pleasure to make these videos, glad you like it. The best way is to send me an email jacothejeweller@gmail.com OR drop me a message on instagram @jacothejeweller 🙏 and we can chat about it there or set up a meeting via zoom or your preferred platform.
Hey Jaco, just thought I'd throw this in, not trying to sound like a know it all but try using Nikko Polish for Platinum. When I was doing literally hundreds of machined bands we switched to it and man what a difference. We only used 1500 straight to 8000 but probably should have gone maybe 2500 first and green Dialux I personally preferred on Palladium only. Love any Vids you do as I'm always learning. Thank you for sharing 👍👍
Thanks for that Rob. I will definitely have a look into this and thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
Anything to make the process go smoother. Have a great day.
magnificent
😊
Very cool, love your comments on the tutorials. Were you a jeweller in south Africa?
Er
Hi Vanessa, I was. I spend the last 10 years of my life in the Garden Route of South Africa was owning a retail / manufacturing business. 25 plus years all together. I now choose to work alone to focus my attention on what I love most - which is one on one custom work.
muchas gracias
De nada. ¡Gracias por ver!
Parabéns e muito sucesso amigo
Obrigado. Estou feliz que você tenha gostado.
Very nice, well explained, & i love the sound effects :-) What equipment are you using to get those closeup shots?
Thank you Andrew, our set-up has since changed but at the time I was using a Canon es80/90D with a basic kit lens (I think).
Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks Jaco
How/where did you learn to make jewellery?
You are welcome. I’m self taught but have been at this for 30 years now. I’m glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you ! hey so i have asked in the other video, So you Do solder in the end the little wire connections , right? you connect the links with the wire from one side of the link, through the hole, and bend it backwards. Then tap on the wire so it will sit in the grooves that you made, and Then soldering it ?
Again, thanks for your videos!
You are welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos - yep solder all the wire parts that fold around. Then flatten them out and cut the excess. You are good to go 👍🏻
Très bon travail pour la rivière de diamant rien à dire trop fort Merci pour la vedio excellent
Merci pour le commentaire. Vous êtes très gentil de le dire.
New to goldsmithing, that safety chain seems like a good project to start with soldering.. any videos on a how to make that style of chain?
Trevor 👋🏻Welcome and thanks for watching. A friend of mine made a video on making a chain like this -
you can watch it here 👉🏻
ua-cam.com/video/GnV3NlkThZw/v-deo.html
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
@@jacothejeweller hey thanks a lot🙏
Fantasties!!!!
Dankie Tokkie 🙏🏻
Is the wire you are using ro link the peices together precious metal aswell or a different material?
Hi Sam, the wire is platinum (same metal as the bracelet) 🤙
Thanks for your question. 🔨
Hi Jaco I have a sterling silver tennis bracelet with 0.5c diamonds & a lock clasp for safety on the side. Do I need an extra safety chain added to it? Can I do this at home? How would I go about it? Thanks for any advice 😃
Hi Carol, it certainly would add another safety mechanism to your bracelet. Usually the clasp and catch on the side would be enough but don’t deal with a pin that has worn through around the clasp area (which is where it often occurs). So to add a safety chain would be recommended for extra safety. You could buy a safety chain from a local jewellery supplier and with a pair of pliers you should be able to add this as the little o-rings are typically open. Just bend them sideways and close them again. If you have any issues with this then a local goldsmith would be happy to add it for you. Hope this helps and sorry for the late reply, Jaco
I'm starting in goldsmithing and I can't get tired of watching this video, because I'm about to learn how to make this model of a box and your video is super useful, thanks for the work, the only problem is that I can't find this silver bugle ready for sale.
Hey Henrique, I’m so glad that you find the video helpful. All my pieces are made for individuals and that’s why you won’t see it for sale. Thanks for watching and good luck with your journey. It’s a fun job 😁
@@jacothejeweller I'm from Brazil so the translation is wrong, but I wanted to say that it's hard to find these silver straws to set the stone.
@@henriquesantos.official it’s easy to buy silver tube in the uk. But it’s pretty easy to make too. I always made it when I lived in South Africa. I might make a video to explain it better.
@@jacothejeweller Yes, I would be very happy for the explanation of how to do it, because here in my region it is almost impossible to find accessories ready to assemble jewelry, and these 4 mm silver straws would be enough for me to make chains, bracelets and other things.
This is such a great learning video. I am currently planning my exam piece to finish my apprenticeship and would like to make a line bracelet as part of it. However I was thinking of larger settings, about 14mm. Is that too large to ensure the bracelet will bend nicely around the wrist?
That sounds like a fun project- 🤞🏻 just scale up the wire thickness or even use plate at that size. Send me a picture on Instagram ‘jacothejeweller’ when you are done with the piece. And thanks for watching.
It’s crazy in goldsmithing that every step you can fk up the whole piece an have to start over. That risk begins at the beginning an ends when finished lol
Hey I like your removable workstation did you make that or did you buy it?
Hey Keita, I use GRS tools - you can view it here grs.com/product/benchmate-encore-qc-stone-setters-package/
VERY nice. I am going to try and assemble a line bracelet in platinum, but I'm not making the settings. Still, it's excellent how you did it. Most interested how you made the box clasp, not to mention the safety chain! I assume the "tongue" of the box clasp is just regular platinum, yes? It's not any type of "spring metal"? Thanks for saying that you use the HOTTEST SOLDER YOU CAN USE. My gut tells me to use 1400-1500 solder... Your tutorial is of great help.
Well, I may just use 1500-1600 solder. The settings I bought already made from a supplier. I just wanted to know what number solder to use and you answered my question. But LOVED how you made the box clasp. Really excellent work.
Wow Minda, what a boost to have such great feedback. I'm so glad that my video gave you some inspiration - Good luck. This is a VERY satisfying project to finish.
@@jacothejeweller I BET it is! I'm eager to try it. Someone told me to use white gold for the "tongue" of the clasp because of "spring ability".... Is your tongue on your clasp platinum, too? (I plan to use all platinum), but is that what you did, too?
@@mindakrawitz8698 I used platinum all the way. You can harden the bend by hand and this helps a lot. But as you can imagine, this part doesn’t have to be as strong because there are other safety components to assure that the whole clasp is secure. But for me it’s platinum all the way 😊
@@jacothejeweller That makes perfect sense. That's how I'm going to do it also ;-))))))))))
Thank you for this video. I am not a goldsmith, but I love jewelry and watches. For my 28th birthday I got myself a yellow gold tennis bracelet (1ct) and I wanted to know what the whole process was :D
Thank you for that Sabine. I’m glad to see you are enjoying the process behind the product. I enjoy making these videos so keep watching 👍🏻
I love this!❤❤❤ I'm a novice silversmith/hobbyist who fell in love with making wire jewelry 5 years ago and 3 years ago I started silversmithing on a very small scale. I haven't perfected making collets or prong settings YET but it's on my to-do list and I can hardly wait to attempt this bracelet. One problem though... I don't really understand or I can't actually see exactly how you are soldering the links. It looks like you just pushed the wire link inside the collet but it must be a jump ring you're closing, right??? When you're pushing it in, are you closing a jump ring that will be soldered together permanently to connect the collets? That sounds logical to me albeit difficult but maybe I'm mistaken? Thanks so much for sharing this tutorial. It's very generous of you and gives me something to aspire to. 🙂
What a lovely comment - yes I do solder each one individually. I use an easier solder for this 👍🏻 thank you for the kind words.
Hi mate, where di you get that bench peg with the different accessories?
Hey Leo, GRS tools. Good stuff all the way. Have a look at their website here grs.com/
Would you be kind enough to do a tutorial on clasp options.
Clasp options are on the list 👍🏻
What kind of wire are you using? Is it Sterling Silver? Apologies if I missed it in the video.
No worries Sean, this one is platinum. I have a video on making a line bracelet which was done in silver just to explain the first few steps.
👌👌
Hola buenas tardes disculpe como podría adquirir una pulsera así me encuentro en la CDMX, gracias, felicidades quedo de lujo,..!!
Hi Vicente, thank you for the question - I will have a website soon which would make it much easier to buy my pieces but for now unfortunately I don’t export. I need to learn Spanish. Translating this was fun 😊
This was beautifully done...so impressed by your extreme attention to detail, & your patience...thank you for allowing us to be a part of your project...much respect~ Linda Gregory (Everett, Washington~12:20am.)
Wow, what a beautiful comment to read. Thank you Linda. Mutual respect 🌻 Thank you for being part of this community, all the way from Washington, that blows me away. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
when you solder silver and want the flux layer removed afterwards, what (heated) acid or liquid is used i couldnt hear nor figure it out yet
thx
Hi Minho, I currently us a shop bought powder but would highly recommend alum crystals on a hot plate. I’ve also used battery acid (sulfuric acid) in the past with backing soda as a neutralizer. This works well for a powdery white silver finish. But be careful with the fumes on that one. Good luck.
Thạnks
You are welcome. I enjoy the work which makes it easier.
Where can I buy line bracelet? I have the diamonds just need a 7 row line bracelet? Can u help?
Hi there, thanks for your comment! We'd love to help. Could you send an email over to us with a bit more information like the size of the diamonds, the metal you would like the bracelet made in and the country you are based in? We can always set up a virtual or physical appointment from there on. The email address is jacothejeweller@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you. - Jaco
do you glue the wound on your finger by superglue?
I do indeed 😊 but that’s just me. I’m sure we all have different ways. This one has worked for me for close to 30 years 💪🏻
Hey... So I've got a tennis bracelet that is over 100 years old and is very fragile, I was wondering if you know a person or could you remake it using the Dimonds and the silver just to make it a bit less fragile?
Absolutely. Are you in the uk?
Am Lisbon Kaira I want to know how made round settings before solder the claws
Hi, thanks for the question. You could buy ‘tube’ and cut them to size if you are making a lot of settings or if you can’t buy metal in that shape where you are, you’d measure the diameter of the stone and multiply it with pi to get the length, measure the height of the stone to get the width and roll the metal out to your desired thickness. This will get you close enough but you’d have to experiment to see what works best. Good luck 👍🏻
i am also from south africa and am looking at becoming a jeweler, any tips?
Hey Matt. Start with what you have and buy tools as you need them. I started on a flea market and ended up with a shop. It’s all possible. Have a look at the channel - from the end of this month I’m hoping to go weekly. Good luck 👍🏻
What is that bench pin with different attachments called?
Hey, the two I tend to use the most are the GRS BenchMate and the Knew Concepts Sawing Bench Peg - hope this helps. 👍
I dream you d make one for me )
What do you file the metal down with?
Hi there, is there a specific part of the video are you referring to? 🙂
Where did you get a 4mm lens burr? Thanks.
Hi Edward, thanks for getting in touch. I’m in the UK, so the tool suppliers here are always stocked up. But the terminology I’m using might be a bit South African. I believe it’s called a ‘bearing cutter’ here
@@jacothejeweller Thank you very much for getting back to me. I am also in the UK currently temporarily. Cheers, Edward
Do you have a webpage or an email? The fb link is not working. Thank you very much.

how many links minimal in a tennis bracelet
Hey Nicholas, it depends on the size of your stones/settings and the wrist size. I just measured the length of the bracelet and then divided the stone size into that.
I need help finding the right dremel and attachments
Hi Deborah, how can I help?
can men also wear this bracelet or is it made for women ?
Interesting question Elli. Traditionally for the female market but these days I find that jewellery crosses the barriers. So let’s call it personality rather. If you prefer a masculine look, I’d perhaps stack a few bracelets next to each other to create volume. Wearing the bracelet on it’s own will look delicate. But this is a tricky area depending on culture, demographics. I hope that this answers your question - perhaps a good topic for a video 🤔
@@jacothejeweller It's an interesting topic, thank you very much for the help 🙂
This is Pt 950 ? 🤔
Platinum 950 👍🏻
super glue the best
It’s such a life saver 😎
Can someone tell me what the labor cost is for something like this?
Hi Ari, send us over an email at jacothejeweller@gmail.com - is it something you’re interested in having made? Or are you wondering how to price your work for a piece like this?
@@jacothejeweller I actually have a tennis necklace that was shortened and have 6inches of clippings left over, but it’s literally six 1 inch pieces. So I’m curious to see if it’s possible to turn it into a bracelet instead by scrapping the gold and re setting the diamonds.
