Just a friendly reminder that if you sell one of my designs or post pictures online I'd really appreciate if you include "design credit to Fantasia Elegance @ Etsy.com/shop/FantasiaElegance" Thank you all
Hola ... hermosa pulsera, la harè pero en material plata y por supuesto te darè el crédito como corresponde ... y es mas te enviarè la foto ... mil gracias por compartir ... un saludo desde Colombia
Wow... this is absolutely gorgeous! ❤❤❤ I can't wait to make it especially since it's it's my size and you've removed the guess work (designing bracelets' measurements on my own hurts my brain - LOL!). I have a tiny bench block but I don't have a jeweler's hammer so would it be ok if I use my carpenter hammer instead (I could tape the head if needed)? 🤔 Or would it make a difference in a not-so-good way to use it? Thank you for this fabulous tutorial (just in time for Christmas gifts! 😊). YOU are always so helpful and VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! 😊
Hi Tammy! Thanks so much for the kind words. I really hope you enjoy making it! You could certainly try a regular hammer with a taped head. The only issues I foresee are that the hammer head surface might still leave some roughness on your wire (jeweler's hammers have a very smooth finish on the head) and that the hammer head might be large enough that it's hard to hammer just where you want to. You could always put a jeweler's hammer on your Christmas list! ;)
@@FantasiaElegance I see what you mean. It doesn't look as good. Thanks so much! There are so many tools I want (LOL!) but I think I WILL put a jeweler's hammer on my Christmas list for sure. 👍😊 Can't believe holidays are almost here.
I just love your designs! You really are exceptionally talented! I make wire wrapped jewelry also and soldered jewelry too. I love your designs so much. Do you draw your designs first or do you just come up with it out of your head as you make it? I'm fascinated by how other jewellers make their jewelry and designs. I can't wait to see more designs from you!
Aw, thanks so much, Terrie!! I almost always do at least a rough sketch before making a new design, though it definitely evolves and changes as I'm working.... sometimes the wire just tells you it wants to do something different than you had planned!
I'm new to making jewelry but loved this design. I just got all my copper wire in and started with the first piece. I could use some advice. My loops didn't stay loop like which I figure will improve with practice. My hammer skills are horrible. That is where I need much advice. Parts of the copper is wider than other parts it looks horrible...lol So I will happily take any advice you can give me. I will be practicing till I can do it right... but I may have a lot of scrap material to send back to Rio Grande. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Thank you, Doris! I've actually done one already here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LKJ4Y4-Ikco.html And will do more in the future :)
Hi again. I couldn't wait for Christmas! LOL! 😀 I ordered the hammer through your link. It was a great price and FREE 1-day Prime Shipping. Thank you for that!! 👍 Now I'll be able to make one and mail it as a bday gift by Monday of next week. I was going to get the cheaper ($5.90) bead reamer also via your link but it is no longer available and it doesn't have an availability date. 😢 However, there is a set of 5 for $6.99 (& Prime shipping) that includes several types/sizes of reamers and 1 flat file (all diamond tip). It showed up as an alternate on Amazon. I don't know how your end of the partnership works but if this set is something you can create a link for, I'll gladly wait and buy it through your link. I won't post the link until I get your response. Cheers! 😊
Hey Tammy! Haha, I understand. I frequently end up buying myself "early Christmas gifts" too ;) Hm, thanks for the heads up! It's frustrating that Amazon items go unavailable so frequently. But I know the set you're talking about; I was looking at that one as a possibility to recommend as well, because it's got good reviews too. Here's an affiliate link to it: amzn.to/2O34fLy As far as links goes, my understanding is that if you initially navigate to Amazon via one of my links, anything you purchase in that shopping session counts as a referral from me, not just the item you first linked to. Of course we're talking pennies or dollars difference, but every bit helps! :D Thanks so much!
I'll be using this design as a base element for a center piece of swirls that include some rubies in sterling silver. Very nice design, sturdy and elegant! And, after watching Part 2, I have to tell you that sometimes, even after kindergarten, English isn't easy. :D Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching; so glad you'll be able to adapt and use my design :) Sometimes I can't help but laugh at myself when going back and editing video.... something about recording yourself makes your brain take a break, I think. Haha
Bonjour, votre travail est très délicat .Merci pour ces tuto que j'essaie de suivre avec du fil électrique que je dénude, mais ça prends beaucoup de temps et souvent il se casse. J'aimerai s'il savoir OÙ je pourrai acheter le même fil que vous. Merci d'avance.
Hi, if Rio Grande doesn't ship internationally you can get a wide variety of copper, brass, bronze, wire etc., in many different gauge sizes from www.CopperWireUSA.com I buy my copper wire there and they will ship internationally; however, I buy my precious metals such as 925 Sterling and other random supplies from Rio Grande using the Fantasia Elegance links when possible. I hope this helps. Cheers! 🙂
@@FantasiaElegance Hi. Please see my reply to this person. I can remove it if it's a problem. I just wanted to let them know where to get copper wire if Rio Grande does not ship overseas. CopperWireUSA.com doesn't charge shipping within the USA so I get my copper round wire there but I always get my silver or fancy shape wire from Rio Grand and use your links when possible. Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials! 🙂
@@tammygurl64 Hey Tammy! Thanks so much for linking to that resource! I don't mind at all ^_^ I don't actually have affiliate links from RioGrande (they don't have a program for that yet) like I do from Amazon, so I just include the links in case it helps anybody. I don't actually make any commission off of them. Although I really should ;)
@@FantasiaElegance Oh ok, good! 🙂 I posted before I thought how it might affect you. You should get at least a little something from Rio Grande. Maybe that will change in the new year. I was certain I followed your link to them once when I bought sterling but it must've have a link for Xuron precision cutters I bought last year from Amazon which are awesome btw. I've slept since then. ;-) LOL! I actually need another pair that will cut 16 ga wire or slightly larger I will definitely use your link when I decide to buy them. 👍 I never stick with a hobby very long but I started studying videos the first half of last year and I have a select few channels (including yours) that I follow religiously. By late July 2018 I bought my first wire supplies/tools and have been making jewelry ever since in my spare time. Even if you don't get paid for your tutorials, please know that you are much appreciated. I would never have learned this hobby if it hadn't been for a friend and people like you! I am ever so grateful. 😊
I have been trying to purchase the materials to make the bracelet with no luck can you send me a website or guide me in the right direction. I really would like to make this bracelet even though I am a beginner. I have been trying all day. I await your response, Thank you. I just love it so much.
Hi Gladys, thanks for watching! I purchase my wires from RioGrande.com, but you can also get them here at Amazon: Square: amzn.to/2STTvSk Round: amzn.to/2rYXouq and Half Round: amzn.to/39ya9gi And the link to the bead I used is in the description section.
