    So, I have made beaded jewelry for nearly 20 years, and even taught others, but when making my wrapped loops I never tightened the wire as I went. That was brilliant! Loved this video and simply cannot wait to make an entire chain for a necklace. Already see the end result in my mind! I have subscribed!

    This will be perfect for using up some old sterling silver wire I have not yet found a use for! I suppose I could get a clasp or two out of it also =) I will try this out on some copper wire first in order to practice and get the muscle memory down before cutting up my precious silver 😅😅

    Thanks, Susie! I'm sorry that part was confusing. It doesn't help that I was struggling to stay in the camera frame, I'm sure! Basically, I'm looping the wire around to create a teardrop-shaped loop that the hook will go into. Once you've looped it all the way around to form a closed shape, you will finish it off by wrapping the tail around the space just above the first, smaller loop that we formed. I hope that helps!

    Why does hammering it make stronger?

  • @FantasiaElegance

    @FantasiaElegance

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hi Shan, thanks for watching! It all boils down to chemistry. Hammering metal like this, also known as cold forging, forcibly changes the crystalline structure of the metal. These molecular-level changes reduce the ability of crystals within the lattice to shift around, so the metal becomes more resistant to deformation (i.e. hardened). You can also achieve more subtle hardening through the same effect by simply bending the wire back and forth multiple times (aka "work hardening"). The changes to the crystalline structure can be undone by heating the metal to it's re-crystallization point, then letting it cool slowly, a process known as annealing.

    Nice chain, but you fuss too much with the loops and talk too much. Make the loop and leave it. Stop fussing with it endlessly. Its not perfection, its a chain. No need to talk every second of the video. Give it a rest. Gaps of silence are restful for ears.
