Wow!!!! I have been making jewellery for the past 3 years and have had pearls for nearly as long. I haven't made them as every video I have watched has knotted in between each pearl and used French-wire. I have tried the knotting with the silk thread and have even got a fair way through, before some catastrophe struck (a bit like you and crimp covers perhaps😂). I have also been unable to source French-wire through my usual jewellery suppliers here in Queensland. After watching you make this lovely bracelet I am inspires to try again, I may even have a go at using memory wire. Thank You sooooo much
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 9 месяцев назад
Thank you Bernie. I've had the same issues. I get so far and then the knot turns into a mess. I do have an Easy Knotter in my store which helps to make those knots but I've never tried it. We do ship to Australia if you are wanting to purchase from us.

Watching this reminded me that some time ago I bought a lot of the silk string in many different colors - but I don't remember what I thought I'd use it for (and obviously I never used it for anything because I'd forgotten I even have it!). What never occurred to me, was to use the silk thread for a bracelet. Happily, I have TONS of beads and pearls and your video has inspired me. I don't have French wire, but I do have wire guards and I'm looking forward to having some fun! Thank you.

I love the irregularly shaped pearls as well. More character. Just an FYI, I was restringing an old seed pearl necklace and noticed how after I was done, the stringing was not as tight. Well, I saw on another video that the person rinses the thread and stretches it out and then lets it dry. This really helped and did a better job. Hope that helps some people. Thanks for your video. 😄

You need a pair of crimping pliers. It will hold the cover really well without slipping & they crimp the crimp bead into a roll rather than a flat piece. I dont do it without these. Love pearls & french wire. I always add 3 jumprings to the toggle end as it makes it so much more flexible when fastening. If course you need to allow for it in your measurements. Silk tgread is very stro g but i would say " less likely to break"
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker Год назад
Thank you Linda for your advice. I have used my crimping pliers to add a crimp cover in the past - not sure why I didn't do it here. I still have issues getting them on. I think they are just too small for my fingers. That's OK, we got there in the end. Interesting about the 3 jumprings. Thanks for sharing that.

Oh. My. Goodness!! I just bought some beads and they came with little wire spring thingies separating each one. I thought - What is that? Where have I seen it before? I wonder if I could use it for anything? But I couldn't remember what it was, or where I'd seen it, and I couldn't figure out anything to use it for, SO I THREW ALL THE PIECES AWAY! (About 2 dozen, all the same size, like you're using!). Now I'm re-watching your video and I see it was French wire! Getting old is no fun ...

Hello Carol! I love your videos. I have already learned so much from you and i appreciate you so much! This bracelet is GORGEOUS! My question is if i am making something myself and not following a tutorial how would i know to use french silk, tiger tail, or something like Wildfire? The french silk looks pretty but you end up not seeing it. Just wondering? Thank you again, you are amazing!
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 10 месяцев назад
Hi Robin, thanks for your question. Do you mean, how would you know to use French wire? The silk thread I'm using is generally used with pearls. Fireline is generally used for bead weaving. Tiger tail is the strongest. You can still use the French wire with tiger tail if you like the look.
@loridaniel-rb4hf
@loridaniel-rb4hf Год назад
I really love this bracelet, and the French wire at the end to protect the silk string. I also enjoy the different sized pearls. The beads in between give the bracelet an extra punch. It looks really nice. Just curious, why is it when pearls are strung the silk string is used? Is silk used for any other beading? How do you know what size silk to use? Some videos that I watch you have to stretch the silk and others not?
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker Год назад
Thank you, Lori. Lots of questions. I believe silk thread is used for pearls so that it doesn't damage them. I have not used silk for other projects but I'm sure others do. I would choose the thickest silk thread that will fit through the holes - it will be stronger. Silk by nature is very strong anyway. Yes, you can stretch the silk before. I've not done this and have had no problems but it can't hurt to do it. This video started off being a knotting between pearls technique video but it morphed into a tutorial about French wire. Would you like me to do a knotting video too?

Fabulous video ❤. One thing I e always wondered about is, is the crimp bead alone enough to stop the thread from slipping out? The thread gets cut pretty close to the crimp and I’m always worried this can easily slip back through the flattened crimp. 😊
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 9 месяцев назад
Thank you so much, Ranjana. I used to feel the same way but I've not had one fail. It's all about getting that crimp bead squashed down so hard that it can't budge. If you feel unsure, you can always add a tiny dab of glue.

@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 11 месяцев назад
Hi Nadine, yes and no. I find that the wire guardians sometimes can have little burrs on them so I wouldn't use them with silk thread. I've also done a video on using wire guardians which you can find here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_R9_fJmgcY.html I really like the look of the French wire which is why I would use it over a wire guardian but they both do the same job if you're using a stronger stringing material.

Thank oui Rosabelle. Did you mean knotting between the pearls? That was my intention but it just didn't happen that way. Or, did you mean knotting it and not using the crimp bead?

How do i know size of french wire i need for my beading wire. I love this tutorial. Thank you
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 8 месяцев назад
That's a good question, Ruth. You need to find out the inner diameter of the French wire and the diameter of the wire you are using.

I was looking at how organized your room looks. May I ask do you store your beads in those jar plastic containers. Please help always looking for a neater way.

Yes, I do store my beads in the jars, but remember I own an online store so I have over 3,500 products. Here is a link to my studio makeover video which you might find useful. I'm planning on doing an update sometime too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ltg4BzA1UQc.htmlsi=5RU4tZmEJJMy8A0M

Carol-do you worry about the Griffin silk fraying since you cut it at the crimp tube? BTW-I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS.😊

@The_Stylish_Maker 2 месяца назад
Great question Angela. The reason I used the French wire was to stop any fraying. I wouldn't use a crimp tube and silk without it. I've never had it fray around the crimp tube. You could always tie it off instead of using a crimp tube and use a crimp cover to hide the knot it you're having that problem.

Hello I like to ask if you could do a video on why string or when compared to bead stringing wire? Right now as I watch you working on this bracelet could using stringing wire be better to ensure jewelry last longer or is there a reason why not to do that?
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 4 месяца назад
That's a great question, Michele. You generally only use silk thread with pearls. Silk is surprisingly durable. You would normally knot the thread between the pearls which is what I intended to do in this video but it didn't work out that way. The reason is so that if your piece breaks you don't lose all your pearls because each one is knottted separately.

Hi Debbie, I'm sure you can buy it at your usual jewellery supply store. If not, you could try Fire Mountain Gems if you're in the US. www.firemountaingems.com/search?searchtype=Shop&keywords=french+wire

Very lovely! But I must say…in the very many tutorials I’ve watched, I’ve never seen anyone else use a crimp with silk thread. They always use bead stringing wire. I’m curious to see if the crimp doesn’t end up cutting the thread.
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker Год назад
Thank you, Lori. I thought about that and I did watch a tutorial where someone (Beadsmith) had used a crimp bead. I don’t think that it will wear out the thread simply because of the direction of the pressure of the thread. The thread is going through and the stress is not pulling the thread at right angles to the crimp bead. I will wear it lots and see if I can wear it out, then I’ll report back.

You can always use a crimp bead inside a clamshell for extra strength too.

I always wondered what French wire was? Is it sturdier than a wire guardian? Or is it more for looks?
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker Год назад
Thank you, Lorena. I think possibly a wire guardian could be a bit more sturdy although when using silk thread, I would be worried that it would cut the thread. I would definitely use a wire guardian if I was using something other than thread. I do love the look of French wire though.

Hi! I’m finding that my thread is fraying or snapping on some of my pieces after people wear them. I’m thinking it’s the abrasion against the sharp edge of the crimp cover. Is there a way to finish a silk thread necklace without a crimp cover or using something that will rub?
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker 2 месяца назад
Great question. It may actually be the crimp tube that's cutting the thread. There are a couple of things you could try. First you could try coating your thread with beeswax. I used to do that when I was hand quilting and it stopped any fraying. Second, you might try using the Magical Crimp Forming Tool which negates the need for a crimp cover. Here's a video about that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UKnf5AFGNlQ.htmlsi=oWTdzuFWrMj8Dw7R

I have a pearl necklace that has broken. I salvaged all the beads and b ok the ends of original clasp. I would like to restring in a manner that if the strand broke again, beads wouldn't fly everywhere. How do I do that?
@The_Stylish_Maker
@The_Stylish_Maker Год назад
Hi Pamela, sorry for the late response. You would make a knot between each bead. This tutorial actually started out being one where I demonstrated doing that but it didn't end up that way. I may still do that one, so please keep watching.

I’m new to jewelry making. I just read something this week that said do *not* use crimp beads on beading thread bc it may break. Help!

@The_Stylish_Maker 11 месяцев назад
Hi Adrianne, great question. Lots of people don't use crimp beads on silk thread but I've never had a problem with it, especially when I use the French wire. I know that doesn't really help if you're getting conflicting advice but I've seen others use them too - like Beadsmith and Fire Mountain Gems who are the big boys in jewellery making.

Are there more variations for covering wire, a side from wire guards and french wire?

You could also use a bead bandit - www.amazon.com/BeadSmith-Bead-Bandit-Crimps-Silver/dp/B007MQNCZA. This video might help. It's about covering your crimp tubes but you might pick up some information in it - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6MNkAZM7xmU.html. Thank you.
