Line Bracelet [Tennis Bracelet] Goldsmith Tutorial - At The Bench 

What an insane bracelet to have made by hand. Really impressive, I hope one day I will be able to make these types of jewellery. You're one of the best jaco!

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

Thanks mate, its actually quite refreshing to have an artist commentating his way thru the project, great job.

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.

Oh my goodness! It looks amazing. I had no idea how much work goes into making a piece of jewelry specifically the tennis bracelet.

Excellent video!!! Thank you, Cory

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!

An amazing video, so much detail and dedication. Thank you for sharing.

This is a work of art and you’re an artists I’m so glad you carried on narrating your videos, I think without hearing the passion you have on your voice for what you do it wouldn’t be as effective, you’re truly a joy to watch hun, thank you. I’m so new to silversmithing and the way you explain things just makes it so much clearer thank you ❤🙏

Perfectamente ejecutado y explicado. Muchas gracias

Awesome video bru. I really wanted to see the whole process after I saw your other video on just the settings, awesome work!

Great work and craftsmanship

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.

Wow, absolutely stunning!

Wow, really awesome job! Thank you.

This is a very interesting and useful lesson! I am very grateful to the wonderful master!

Incredible!

Wow thanks for this video! I always wanted to know how this kind of bracelet was made. Awesome work!

This is so fascinating to see! Thank you for sharing. I had no idea what all went into making my bracelets!

super informative thank you!

Such an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for that. Very well explained too, Not many goldsmiths with this quality of tutorial on RU-vid.

only been making jewelry for two years but i will have to try this! love the video! 🎉

Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and displaying your talent with this video. You have a new fan.

Awesome!

Hi Jaco. I first recently began to watch your videos and i became most stunned by your careness and abiltiy to handle your tools with so much preciseness. I have just started to make a Line Bracelet in silver with 3.2 mm mixed colour sapphire for my wife. I hope that i will be able to control my breathing and make it as precise and beatiful, as you have done. I love your way of passing on your skills as goldsmith, with great advice accompanying the videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope that i will become better over time. Best regards Allan

thank you it was very useful

Just getting into silversmithing and really appreciate the time and detail you went into here. Will definitely be watching more of your content 👍

Love it!

Mesmerizing 🤩

Great bracelet, wonderful work👍. I watched your video with great interest. Thank you .

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

Informative and helpful craftsman levels to strive for 👏🏾👍🏾

Thank you!!

Joven Maestro, le quedo Hermosa ,Gracias por su paciencia y conocimiento excelente profesor mi Dios lo bendiga ,Feliz Fin de semana . LO SIGO

Wonderful video!

Impressive work.

Beautiful Diamond Bracelet😊Wish It Was “Mine!”

So greatful for.this video fully detailed.

Beautiful job buddy

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! ❤❤❤

Very Nice

muchas gracias

thank you for your videos.

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.

Thks for share very much

tnx for the demo sir ilearn a lot...

Very helpful, thanks 🤟👍

BEAUTIFUL

Thạnks

Thank you very much!!!

Interested nice design

Thank you, I was looking for such information

It's beautiful

Wao . I Really love it ❤

Parabéns e muito sucesso amigo

👌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❤❤

Hello, I'm setting over 45 years, never set the Diamonds on the Bottom of the bracelet, always a little bit higher. so the braclete will have volume. your work it's Fine!

Fantasties!!!!

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 👍👍

Très bon travail pour la rivière de diamant rien à dire trop fort Merci pour la vedio excellent

magnificent

Hi Jaco, thanks for the tutorial i really like your work. How do i go about getting a custom tennis chain?

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?

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!

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

Very nice, well explained, & i love the sound effects :-) What equipment are you using to get those closeup shots?

Hi sir i hope you are doing well. Can you tell me is it possible to make this bracelet under 15gm?

Very cool, love your comments on the tutorials. Were you a jeweller in south Africa? Er

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks Jaco How/where did you learn to make jewellery?

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.)

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?

Am Lisbon Kaira I want to know how made round settings before solder the claws

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 😃

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

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?

Hi mate, where di you get that bench peg with the different accessories?

Would you be kind enough to do a tutorial on clasp options.

👌👌

Hola buenas tardes disculpe como podría adquirir una pulsera así me encuentro en la CDMX, gracias, felicidades quedo de lujo,..!!

Hey I like your removable workstation did you make that or did you buy it?

What is that bench pin with different attachments called?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Where can I buy line bracelet? I have the diamonds just need a 7 row line bracelet? Can u help?

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.

What do you file the metal down with?

I like to know how you hook each one on your table

do you glue the wound on your finger by superglue?

Is the wire you are using ro link the peices together precious metal aswell or a different material?

What kind of wire are you using? Is it Sterling Silver? Apologies if I missed it in the video.

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. 🙂

👍👍👍

I need help finding the right dremel and attachments

i am also from south africa and am looking at becoming a jeweler, any tips?

Do you have a webpage or an email? The fb link is not working. Thank you very much.

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?

Where did you get a 4mm lens burr? Thanks.

Casting and laser soldering is the way.

I dream you d make one for me )

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.
