I've watched this several times. I think I'm ready to start making porcelain jewelry. Thank you so much!
That was a perfect plate to show for a demo. Usually they are not and you have to get creative. Plates have a mind of their own.
Hello Loved it thank you for the class I learned so much! Kathe from Cali.😎
You are so welcome!
Wow! I have never seen a nipper like that. It seems to simplify the process of breaking the plate quite a bit!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Very interesting. Will definitely try your technique.
Thanks so much for this!!
Love this!!
Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing your skills.
Thanks for watching! 🌻
Thank you so much, this video saved me from spending forty bucks on a glass cutter that I don't really need right now.also I sort of ruined a. Couple small projects because I couldn't get the shoe off the bottom of my dish. Very helpful video .
You're very welcome, and thanks for watching! 🌻
Thanks so much for this detailed demo! I thought I was at the mercy of how my plates break with a hammer. I'm so happy to see I was SO wrong. I hadn't realized a glass scoring tool or the breaking plyers would work to get a desired shape with plates. I also see that I've been using my scoring tool incorrectly on my glass (for soldered shadowbox charms). I've been holding it like a pen or pencil. Looks like holding it close to a right angle to the surface will work better.
I inherited 3 collections of decorative plates when my mom passed a few years ago. They have no sentimental value nor a monetary value to speak of, so I think making jewelry with them will net more value for me. Your demo has made me more confident to give it a whirl. Thanks again!!!
You're very welcome
Thank you uuuuu sooooooo much! 🙏🙏🙏
I always wondered how you did this! I LOVE your jewelry!
Thank you!
Brilliant technique. I never thought you could use a scorer and running pliers on plates. Thanks.
You are very welcome, thanks for watching! 🌻
awesome
I have also found that with glass, after you score a line you best break it at that time. Glass tends to be self-healing and if you leave it for a long period of time, when you go back to break it there is a very big possibility it will not break correctly. I have done stained glass for 35 plus years now. I don't know if porcelain reacts the same but it is a type of glass so I would assume it would react in the same manner. Thank for the breaking trick. It looks better than the shot in the dark controlled hammer trick.
Brilliant ,it has help me a lot ,cause didn’t no could do it on the plates(Brisbane,Queensland,Australia
Glad to help, and thanks for watching! 🌻
great video thanks, i needed to know what the tools were called, and what i would need, i do a lot of mudlarking and bottle digging so ive jusrt set up a little work area to make little items with the pottery i find. thank again great video. new sub to.
Thanks and good luck! 🌻
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing 😊 Once you have the pieces cut out what do you use to shape them/smooth the edges?
You can find all of that info in my book Boho Chic Jewelry, thanks for watching! 🌻
I love your videos ty! I was wondering if I have to wrap the china pieces with copper tape before I solder. Or can I just solder directly on the china. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
You can find all that info in my book, Boho Chic Jewelry www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2208737/laura-beth-love/

hello dear I want cut or take away a lovely flower basket porcelain ,from weird chair how i need to do 🙏🙏🙏
Hi! I’m trying to learn to make my own Cabochons to set in sterling by this method. How do you file the sharp edges down? Thank you!!!
You can find complete directions for that in my book, Boho Chic Jewelry www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2208737/laura-beth-love/
Hello, do you have tours Books in french please
Thanks you
How do you smooth the sharp edges? Thats what nobody tells you. Isbitbin your book? Thank you 💛
Yes it is in my book! Thanks for watching!
I cannot find pliers like yours anywhere. Where did you purchase them? Aside from running pliers, what else can I use? Thanks!
There is a link to them in the description below the video
Where did you get the glass cutter? name brand?
Hi Mary, it's just a standard brass handled glass cutter that you can get from most stained glass supply retailers.
When checking a plate for hidden cracks, flick it with a finger nail. If it has fractures it will sound dull. You want to hear a pleasant ching or ting. Not dung.
That's right, thanks for sharing that tip! 🌻
What brand glass scorer is that? I’ve been trying to see
I bought it sooo many years ago, not sure if you can even get the exact one but there are plenty similar ones out there that work the same. I think it might be nesco?
would an exacto knife work?
Nope
Works on tile too??
Yes, it should!
Why do you push the blade rather than pull it across the plate, it looks harder that way.
Just personal preference - I have more precise control that way and less prone to slipping from the uneven surface
Have you ever cut a glass plate? Into pieces? Not china/butt glass… Pressed glass cut glass.??? Thank you
I would usually use a glass saw to do that unless it is very thin, then I would use a manual glass cutter.
