- How to make a silver wire necklace, this video shows how to construct the beautiful Egyptian Link in easy to follow, step by step instructions. Additionally you can view still photographs of each of the steps involved at www.artfine.com... My standard wire is .035 sterling silver wire, soft, round, but you can also use 18 gauge nickel silver wire, or experiment with the many wires available at craft stores. I particularly like to use Black Stove Pipe wire. The construction of Egyptian Link Necklace requires the use of three pliers, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers and diagonal cutters.
My spirals got so much prettier and uniform since watching this! Thank you!
Thank you! This video is worth many units in a college jewelry making class. Your generosity is much appreciated.
I made this with copper anti-tarnish wire, many years ago and it is still beautiful. I am glad to see you are still here because I think that one day I might like to make another, in silver.
thank you so much for teaching me how to clearly make wired jewelry. I literally watch all your videos! Much love from CHICAGO!
Oh my gosh! It looks so good when it's even just got four links! I can't wait to make it and you are really good at making wire jewelry. I don't even care if mine doesn't look as good, I haven't had as much practice and I'll still be proud of it. I wanted to make a pretty necklace, and now I can thanks to you. So yay! :-D
Hi, Ross! this necklace was the first piece I tried to make, using the wire I had at home. Recently I bought what in Argentina is called "acero quirúrgico", maybe "surgery steel". I made the first 4 pieces, and I just realized how to connect them!. Thanks you very much for the tutorial. You are a great teacher!
Thank you soooo much. We had to find tutorials for my art metals class, and yours were pretty much the only ones that helped.
Hi Ashwini from Chicago! Glad you are enjoying wire jewelry - it is a lot of fun! Thanks very much for your kind comment!
Thank you for a very informative and easy to follow tutorial. I like your demonstration especially because I'm not very organised and you make everything very clear with good closeup. Thank you very much.
Wow, the necklace looks really hard to do, and yet is very easy. Thanks for the vid!
i would like to thank you for making this video ,i loved it so much that i made the necklace and some earrings for myself and i made some money too ! i just followed everything you did and i got it one the first try ,thank so much!
Thank You so much for showing us how to make this great bracelet :) Greatings and respect from Greece :)
Hi - I have another 4:55 minute video "How to construct the Egyptian link, A Review " that might help to answer some of your questions. If not, feel free to contact me on my blog with your questions and I will try to help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I had watch a different video that only covered how to make the coil and went or it to quickly! Did not show how to connect them at all. He did a great job will this can't wait to start my own coils! Think I really understand this now! Love that you showed how to do it, but also pointed out what can go wrong so we don't mess it up!
You, sir, are amazing!! Can hardly wait to start this project, hopefully tomorrow.
This 2 pt video is amazing. Something so beautiful but so simply explained. I haven't seen you videos before but will keep a look out for more. Thank you.
Think you so much for this video! I just finished my necklace and it was by far my longest project and the hardest on my hands but it was so worth it! it's so beautiful and makes me feel like a Egyptian goddess lol
Thank you for posting this video. Very easy to follow...I can't wait to get started!!
Very nicely shown, very clear. Looking at the necklace, I would have tried to make the link by starting with the spirals -- exactly backwards! But now I know how to go about it properly and will be able to incorporate this technique into my jewelry. Thanks!
Great videos. You're really clear and helpful and explain the reasons behind your points in a way that makes the skills really transferable. Thank you very much for taking the time to produce this and share it with everyone :D
Glad you find the video useful! Let me know how it turns out, and thanks for watching!
U r the clearest and best wire jewelry maker I have ever seen =D good luck and keep it up
I love u ;)
Thanks for responding. I made earrings and necklaces using your Egypt technique .
This post is great. It was like you read my mind. You Rock!
man this is great i have just decided to start making jewelry and this is just great .. i am going to get my tools and materials .. because this just help me to make up my mind. I am going to start my own business now.. jewelry making.. bye bye unemployment
I have been considering a video featuring soldering - thanks for requesting this.
You're welcome - so glad you are enjoying the Egyptian Link!
Thanks for watching my video! Some people actually do start this link by making the spirals first, but I think it makes it easier to establish the center of the link, then work in the spirals.
Hi! My latest blog article explains how to avoid making marks on wire with pliers. Please go to my channel and click on the link for my blog. I can't put the link here as You Tube restricts that.Thanks for watching!
I am glad that you have found my video to be useful to you! Thank you very much for your comments!
I am going to try this right now ! So easy to understand you great job!
I'm going to try this with copper first. I wish I know how many links it takes to make a necklace. I enjoy your video. I've watched it several times. Thanks for making it.
Thank You Very Much for this Wonderfull and Easy to Follow Tutorial.

Take a look at my blog article "Jewelry Pliers Should Not Mark Up the Wire." You can find my blog link right on my channel page. Buy a good quality pair of pliers to minimize any scratching. I use Lindstrom. In the article, also, are other suggestions that you may find useful. Thanks very much for watching and for your comments!
You're welcome - glad to be of help! Thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial - very clear and easy to follow. Please fo more

Hi Hilary, I probably mentioned it in Part 1 - you can make it in 20 gauge, but I prefer 18 gauge. Thanks a lot for your feedback - hope you enjoy the project!
@DaBlondeTwins Terrific! I am glad you enjoyed the process. That's what counts. Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy the project. Let me know if you have any questions!

Great! I hope you enjoy this project! Thanks for watching!
Ooh..I want to make it right away after I saw this video.thankyuuu ♥
Thanks for the tutorial. I'll definitely try this, but I think I'll start with a bracelet. :D
Hi, I'll post a video on the closures that I make for the Egyptian Link sometime during the weekend. Thanks for looking at it.
@dreadlover How did it turn out? I hope you enjoyed the project! Thanks for commenting.
@4supergran That's what I am trying to do. Thank you for your kind words and for watching my video!
Hi Lea - it takes 5 1/2 inches of wire per link, and for an 18 inch necklace it would require about 57 links. So 57 times 5.5 would give you the approximate amount of wire you'd need for that size necklace plus whatever you need for your clasp. A good site to check out silver wire availability is Myron Toback. As far as sales go, you would need to add the cost of materials to your production time and effort. Thanks for your question!
@BlemishedOcean You're welcomed! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I will never make this necklace or attempt it but this video is very.... interesting.
Thanks for your comment and for watching my video!
Originally from Brooklyn - good call! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!
Is that a Boston accent? Back on topic, absolutely love your work. Thank you for taking the time to post all your videos and explain the techniques. Much appreciated.
This is a great necklace!
You are welcome. Thank you for your kind comments!
You're very welcomed and thanks for watching!
@MsPenchi
Although the Egyptian link involves a series of steps, it is very doable. I teach this to my beginning students, and after some practice they all create outstanding necklaces. I hope you enjoy making the Egyptian Link necklace, and thanks for watching my videos!
Thanks for watching my video! You might want to try 20ga nickel silver, then after you form it, hammer it lightly on an anvil to give it added resiliency.
You're welcome! Thanks very much for watching!
I forgot to tell u all ur videos are just amazing =D
Beautiful work, thank you.
Excellent demo.
I love this! Thank you so much!
Aww Sirr this is pure awsomeness ,yesss ! thank YOU!
@ScreeminMeeme
Thanks!! Glad you like my videos!
I absolutely adore this necklace and have made several others from your videos! Very pleased with the results and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Thank you so much!
Did you make this necklace? If you did, how long did you make it and how long did it take you to make it? I'm kind of a beginner and it seems like it's taking forever. Thank you.
Amber Holway I did make this necklace! It's about 18 1/2 in long including the clasp. I was just a beginner at the time and I want to say it was one of the very first things I made and it probably took a few hours each day and I was done in about 3 days. But for a beginner I was having so much fun with it I didn't think much about how long it took, I just wanted to produce something haha! Just this week I decided to make a matching bracelet which will be about 7 inches finished. It's just a gorgeous piece and fits so nicely on your neck! I made mine with 18 gauge silver plated Artistic Wire that you can get at Michael's
Amber Holway I wrote the reply just above and not Faith Arnott! She is my neighbor and I have no clue how it came up with her name on here! PeggyLee K.
PeggyLee Kovalkevich Thanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoy the videos! -Ross
I made it and it came out to 23 1/2 inches with the clasp. It's such a beautiful design. I love it!!!!!! It also was my first and took me about three days. Lol
You're welcome! So glad that the necklace is turning out well for you! Thank you very much for your comments!

@betsaification
Thanks for watching my video!
You can purchase nickel silver wire from any good craft or jewelry supply store. I use 20 gauge wire when I make the links in nickel silver, and .035, soft, round when I make them in sterling silver. I purchase my sterling silver wire from Myron toback inc.
Yes, I use jewelers needle nose pliers. The ribbed pliers would damage the wire.
@salexander1101 Great! Part of that is also lots of practice! Thanks for commenting.
excellent work and very good explanation, thanks
share.
I will try to make one in my new silver shop i will open in Crete-Greece, and as soon i have it done i will send You a photo :) :)
@Crisaxesory Thanks for you comments - I appreciate that very much!
@fashiongurus1 You are welcomed - glad you enjoyed it.
@LadyJoolree Thank you for your kind comments!
Contenti is a good supplier - you can find them on line. Thanks for watching!
First I love how you explained everything and second I love that I can understand you so many vids I can't gear what's being said or understand the accent thank you for speaking clearly.second great design and as soon as I can I'm going to give this a go do you think a nylon jaw pair of plat nose plyers will help stop scratching on the wire. Thank you. Again
I usually go to Myron Toback's website. Thanks for watching!
@launicayoly2 You are welcome! Thanks for your comment.
thanks so much for s haring this. i learned a lot!
Hi. I want you to know that your tutorials are excellent. I learned how to make this necklace today and even though it isn't perfect, I'm getting the hang of it thanks to your precise instructions. I have a question: how do you prevent your jewelry tools from leaving marks on the silver? I won't make this necklace until I figure out how not to damage the wire. Thanks!
Fantastic. Thanks. Merci. Gracias.
Thanks for commenting!
@xKaitlinGeex I hope you will try another project. Thanks for you comment.
@Coraxo333 Thank you! More coming!
Hi Sandra, I have a blog article entitled "Jewelry Pliers Should Not Mark Up the Wire." The link for my blog is on my You Tube channel page. Just put the work pliers into the search box on my blog page and a few articles will come up. The one you want is a few down from the top. I hope this will help answer your question.
I want to make one! :) I will try!!!!!
Use 20 gauge Nickel Silver.
or
If you use sterling silver, use .035, which is around 18 gauge.
Thank you, Cherryl - I appreciate your comment!
Thanks!!
