Making a silver or copper twisted wire cuff bracelet can be easy using some basic sacred geometry.
Wire wrapping for jewellery making can be a quick and effective technique to use.
This simple seven strand wire twist makes an elegant cuff bracelet.
In this video I quickly demonstrate a procedure

Coming from a work background in precast concrete, a common stressing strand has the same 7-wire section profile, although obviously being high strength steel it doesn't twist so tightly and I'd never seen it as following a sacred form before. Intriguing. Also, I'm impressed with the fabulous effects and designs you achieve without all the fabulously expensive tools that are available. A refreshing and encouraging set of videos. Best wishes

@Nickscreativestuff Год назад

hi Andrew, interesting to read the seven strand profile is used in the concrete industry … must be a very strong form. I suppose calling it sacred geometry was me trying to hype it up a bit although I do find it an intriguing subject. being a hobbyist I can only dream of owning some of the high end tools available to professional jewellers … thanks for watching … Nick

I was mesmerized by the twisting and melting! What did you melt on the ends of the sterling silver?

@Nickscreativestuff Год назад

hi 12mygirls, to finish the sterling silver twist I soldered bronze ballbearings on the ends after drilling a hole in them for the wire to locate in … cheers … Nick

@jcsun7743 2 года назад

This is very excellent. Using sacred geometry in our art is always the most pleasurable and beautiful. If you don’t mind, what gauge are you using? The charcoal hole method is innovative. I’d love to see your procedure on melting the brass ball bearings on the ends. Do you have a facebook page?

@Nickscreativestuff 2 года назад

Hi JC, thanks for your comments, wasn’t sure about using the word sacred with all its connotations … but what the heck … went for it anyway … have always loved the look of geometry and symmetry … The copper i used was 1.7 and the silver 2mm diameter. Great playing with charcoal it’s a very versatile material. Did more of it in this previous video … ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aOaysr1cq4w.html A hole is first drilled in the bronze balls that fits tightly over the silver wires before soldering with traditional jewellers silver solder. Got left behind with social media… so RU-vid is now the only one I do. All the best you … Nick

hi Roland, The warm acid used for cleaning is Sodium BiSulpate.

@anandyallappa3704 17 дней назад

Beautiful ! May i know 1.what can be used to secure the ends if no bronze balls are available pls ? 2. Does the charcoal enable quick fusion of the end ? Tks for a repky from anybody with experience on that. Anand from Mauritius

@Nickscreativestuff 17 дней назад

Hi Anand, I have seen pieces of flat silver sheet soldered onto the cut ends and shaped for a neat finish. i’m sure simple cap ends would also look good. Being so reflective charcoal helps build heat enabling the metal to melt a lot quicker it’s also soft enough for shapes to be carved allowing the molten metal to fill a hollow and form a shape on the end of the wire … N

@ambkbero2 Год назад

Can you show how you drill out the bearings and the gauge of the wire used? Awesome design!!

@Nickscreativestuff Год назад

hi Ambkbero, The ball bearings aren’t easy to drill out straight unless you have a lathe like I do. The wire diameter i used to make these twists was 2mm … cheers … Nick

@jimbartley9125 2 года назад

Very nice Nick. Can you please tell me what acid you are using and where you purchased it from. Nice idea with the charcoal to melt the ends of the bracelet. Cheers

@Nickscreativestuff 2 года назад

thanks for that Jim, there are a few different options for cleaning with acid … safety pick and other products from jewelry supply companies, hot vinegar and salt mix and the one I use is from over the counter at my local hot tub supply company it’s called pH reducer. It’s a product that is sold to help manage chemical levels in the spa and swimming pool industry. I should say this is for information purposes only do not try this at home … I do like playing with charcoal I was hoping to have a go at make some one day … all the best … Nick

@Nickscreativestuff 11 месяцев назад

Hi Mr. Mzungu, there’s a spot test chemical for silver however instead of buying a small bottle of it, you may be able to go to a local jewellery shop and ask them to do a test. The music is called The Five Rivers. I thought it had a bit of a cosmic sound. it’s from story blocks in the LumaFusion app … N

@raggedbreath 8 месяцев назад

Love it. Very useful tutorial. When you twist the 6+1 strands what does the thickness of the bracelet end up as? Is it 6 x the thickness of the individual wire? Thanks

Hi raggedbreath thanks for that, the diameter of the seven strand twist will end up being three times the diameter of individual wires … N

@JelMain Год назад

The geometry of the hexagon's fairly simple, it's an extrapolation of a brick wall. Offset each row, and you have 6 inflection points. It's also an extension of the triangle, one of the strongest known forms.

@damienolive2185 11 месяцев назад

Hi Nick, do you know the name of the tool you can use to make a chain square. I've seen a round Byzantine chain been pulled through it. It was rectangular in shape made of stainless steel at the center was a single circle with some sort of adjustable metal wheels that cause the round chain to be square off.... Didn't look like a bespoke tool, but can't find it anywhere on line...

@Nickscreativestuff 11 месяцев назад

Hi Damien, I think what you’re talking about is whats called an adjustable square drawer plate. I once saw a really big one being used in a video with adjustable wheels in the centre. this was made by an old Russian jewellery tool production company. I have seen a newer version that is a lot smaller here is a link to one I’ve seen shabertools.com/en/draw-plate-square/ good luck with it … Nick.
