    What kind of pliers are you using ? Also which do you like to cut with ? I feel like my cutter pliers are not making a smooth cut .. maybe a little diagonal cut.

      Hakko makes good cutters - they either make them in Italy or the USA. THey're inexpensive and excellent value. We wholesale them ($13). Likewise, you want spring loaded jewelry pliers that are not heavy. We sell them for $13.50.

    Hi there, I’d like to weld white gold bracelets - what material would you recommend I use for jump rings that would be durable and match the white gold? Thanks!!

      THere are white gold jump rings, although I don't carry any. White gold still tarnishes (yellows) over time, although it doesn't go black with silver blackener, like silver does. If you do not have access to white gold, I would certainly use sterling silver jump rings. Also, there isn't anything wrong with doing two tone (yellow gold jump ring ) and make it an accent for the bracelet.

    Hi! Love your videos :) How do you go about choosing the right size jumprings? Also, what's your best hack or video to minimize blowing one?

      Thanks for this message!! Comments and questions help give me ideas on what other videos to film! I think I will film a clip for this - thanks!
      Find the thickest jump ring that can go through the chain link if you're working with thin chains. The easiest to weld is 22ga and 24ga - at 6-7w power. 26ga or thinner is trickier, but I've just filmed a hack - I'll post it because it is difficult to describe.
      Please subscribe, if you haven't done so already - I'm going to try to film something each week based on the questions I get asked. Maybe you'll find some others useful.
