Love using string to polish, but I’ve not used the technique you show here. I tend to just get a really long piece and use it in single strands. I’m definitely going to adopt this, thank you 🙏🏻
Always LOVE your tips!! I just bought a roll of cotton string and cant wait to try this!! Wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year! Let make the Diamond Mounter channel EXPLODE 2021!!!
On platinum i use the usual tripoli to get the surface smooth and scratch free, then I clean it up as much as possible with green and then finally really brighten it up with yellow
Hi, Chris - Who did you get the string from in London ? I have had trouble finding a string to use - as new not knowing if its supposed to have - certain properties to work well Paul
You work in a supermarket also? Is it not possible to earn an income from making & selling jewellery? Excuse me for asking its just that I'm hoping to be able to support myself making & selling jewellery.
Yes of course you can! I used to sell a lot online but not so much now Im in Japan. I dont try to advertise hardly at all now. Getting a job here was more about integrating in to society rather than needing the money. Although actually I do need to earn something lol. I may do a video soon about selling on Etsy
@@DiamondMounter phew, that's good to know. I've been learning at night school for 4yrs as a hobby, but now (due to Covid & no job) I'm looking into trying to support myself with this craft. The info you are putting up is fantastic for me, thank you & happy new year
Made a ring for my wife with a split shank and can't believe I didn't think of doing this. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! These are very useful tips.
A little bees wax on the ends of the string help stop fraying and makes it easier to feed thru small openings.
Thanks! Iv never thought of that I will try it
