Silversmithing from Scratch! Making a Quartz Crystal Pendant and Ring Using Scrap Silver!

In this one, we prepare for the holiday season by making some gifts for Alexis and my niece! We start out by taking a quartz crystal that my niece found and turn it into a necklace for her! After that, we make a "Colorwork" ring for Alexis; these rings are designs to keep yarn separated while knitting colorwork projects like hats and socks! I am extremely low on silver at the moment, so I thought it would be fun to make both of these projects using only scrap silver! I think they came out pretty well, and they were both big hits at Christmas! Let me know if you all would be interested in seeing more jewelry and silversmithing videos; It is something I do on a literal weekly basis so I'd be more than happy to show you all more! I hope you all enjoy, and I will have another one out very soon! Happy New Year!

    Fabulous! Love when you work with metal. Ive also enjoyed making jewelry for the last 20 some years ❤️ ☀️Little Jewelry Hack Tip: When trying to shape tiny bezels, put some tape on your table, sticky side up. This will help hold your stone in place while you wrap the bezel around it. My fingers have lost small motor skills and I’ve come up with all kinds of hacks. 😂 I’m sure the knitting ring was an awesome present. Super thoughtful ❤ Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more silversmithing vids in the future. Stay Crystal 💫 Mari ☀️🪨💎

And the ring for Alexis is really cool. I hope it works because it is such a cool gift and thoughtful! Its amazing! Happy New Years Theo! May the New Year bring more prosperous times for us all. And my wish for you and Alexis is for Health, Wealth, and Happiness to be yours the whole year through!

    by using that much solder you are creating impureties in the silver because of the higher copper percentage in solder wire. this will make your jewelry go dark and splotchy faster.

    It’s been so cool to see all the Haunted Ridge stuff from Lisa showing up on all the channels. I just tried a little experiment heat treating that material… I hope it goes well… not sure if I had the fire hot enough long enough but there’s a video coming. I’m trying to get it to turn pink… ok I’ll shut up and try to learn something. I really want to make a necklace pendant but it’s something for the future

    You are a man of many talents, sir. I specifically enjoyed your use of various lengths of wires...I make jewelry myself, so any of the projects with lapidary or pendant making gets me excited to watch. The silversmithing was quite enjoyable, thank you for sharing your process and tips. Your videos are always giving me ideas on how to expand my hobby and maybe someday actually selling some pieces. Can't wait to see the next one!

Even though I know nothing is as easy as you make it look.😉 Just curious, did you get the rock calendars made? I know it wasn't too long ago that you asked who would want to buy one, but I just thought of it earlier today. Thanks for sharing more of your talents with us Theo@✌️🤠🤘
