thank you so much for sharing your lifetime of knowledge with us
I agree with others ,thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Of all the tutorials ive watched none of them thought to turn the lights off when annealing to show what the term "cherry red" actually means visually. So thank you very much.
Clearly, you live in a lovely DRY, non-oxidizing place, such that you can keep your metal out of storage! What a luxury! Beautiful studio!
Hi! Yes, it's very dry here. Colorado high country. Thanks for writing and for watching!
Fabulous & informative as ever :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience.
Really enjoy your videos, and have learned something from all 3 I have seen, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
After watching this video a second or third time, I made the ring using 12 gauge copper wire. It turned out pretty darn good. Thanks
Well, let's see a photo! Friend me on Facebook so I can see
Thank you! Another excellent lesson.

You make it look so easy. You are my muse lady Thank you!
Love it! Send photos when you make them!!
Thank for sharing. Your an excellent instructor. Love your videos, can’t wait to see more :)
Thank you for sheriing.
I am thankful for your Skill.
Thank you. When you are adding options that require the bands to be spread apart (using stones etc) do you do anything different with the soldering process or do you just solder and move them apart to the desired distance?
Hi Diane, thanks for watching. So, if you are adding an element between the waves, you would not nest them together when you solder the backs together. You would calculate the right amount of space between the waves to accommodate the bezel (or prongs) and solder the two together at one point in the back. Then sometimes your design calls for you to spread the opening in the front after you've soldered the two rings together. I do that using something cylindrical (like tubing or a pencil. I put it between the bands at the front and roll it toward the back until it expands them evenly to the right amount.
I don't know how else to explain it with words.........
Thank you for sharing this ring and techniques. If I put stones in the ring, how do I have to do it? I solder the ring first and how do I get a stone to stay in the gap? Ik understood, that you make the gap rather smaller than the stone and then you open it to put the stone in - and then? Greetings Susanne
Hi Suzanne, you will solder a bezel setting or a prong setting in the space. You may need to file a seat for it to sit correctly. Good luck!
@@melaniekline4895 thank you, I will try it.
Your videos are amazing! Thank you so much! When I click on the links to chart it shows up not available. Is there a better link?
I can't wait to try this one+
Beautiful
Is zam ok to use and finish with or would I need to polish after that also ?
Hey Julie, Zam should do it just fine.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for commenting, Larry!
I'm going to attempt this w a bracelet... wish me luck!
Good luck for sure! Send me a photo. You may have to friend me on Facebook to do that.
@@melaniekline4895 will do!

Thanks again for watching.
Do you ever use Zam?
Hi Ramona, thanks for watching!
I have great luck with 4xxxx white diamond tripoli. I know others like the luxi products, zam, etc. I've never given them much of a try. When I did, I found the surface greasier and harder to clean than trip, even in an ultrasonic.
@@melaniekline4895 I got a stick of blue rouge from Harbor Freight of all places. :-) Seems to have a wax base. Easy clean up.
I see you use the self pickling flux much more than others. I like it too for most things.
Hey Melanie. I am enjoying all of your videos. Thanks so much. Can I ask what brand of torch that you are using. Is it acetylene only? I use butane torches now but need to upgrade. I will be trying to make a few double wave rings soon.
This one is the best one to buy for general work. I usually use a #2 tip and keep the pressure around 12.

But sometimes you really a min torch like this for hot precise work. You should own both someday. I have a splitter connection on my acetylene tank so I can run both torches from it. I'll send a photo for you later today.

@@melaniekline4895 Thank you for this information about torches. I am learning a lot!
whats the degree of thickness
What's dead soft? If I wanted to use a 14k solid gold wire to make a band. Does this matter? If so what kinda wire do I need? Also is soldering gold wire the same thing as wire?
Dead soft is a choice of the temper (less or more springy) that you can order from your supplier. It's your best choice for wire that you are going to bend or twist.
14k wire can be soldered with your same silver skills but with a smaller flame because it will heat quickly and melt.
Where did you get that case that holds your silver ? One of my troubles is my memory because of brain cancer and that would help tons. Is it specially made for jewelry, CD's or something else ? Thanks !
Here's one. I found mine at a second hand store. See them there all the time. JUMBL™ 17"- 31 Slot Wooden Bill/Letter Organizer with Drawer - Natural www.amazon.com/dp/B004AKU02Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_QESRQA8BWBJ4EK9Q8FFR

There are so many things wrong with the way you make jewellery, I don't know where to start.
You make jewellery like a car mechanic would make jewellery - clumsy and ham fisted! If you were in the UK, you could come to me for some lessons. People - do not listen too much to what this person is telling you, most of it is WRONG! Phil (from philongold)
Phil that is rather harsh and unfair. I appreciate her style and teaching.
@@RosatheSilvermuse I am sorry Rose but you are not going to like this either:- Judging by what I see on your RUclips site Rose, you don't know how to make jewellery properly (if at all) yourself. Furthermore, I will tell you what is not 'fare ' - that is, total armatures or beginners making comments about what I have to offer. I am a Master Craftsman with over THIRTY FIVE years experience of Designing and Making, Gold, Silver and Platinum Jewellery incorporating Precious and Semi-Precious Gemstones, many of which I cut and polish myself! I am not saying I am the "end-all-and-be-all of jewellery making, I have LOTS of things to learn, but I do know WELL MADE jewellery, when I see it, and what I see in this piece of Melanie's work, certainly is NOT it! Look at some of my work on my ETSY site and you might see the difference in the quality of workmanship. ATB Phil
Dude! That was wrong..
@@PhilStevensphilongold Phil I'm impressed with your self esteem, I don't have any jewelry making on my you tube. I buy jewelry from likeable people one of which you are not. Knocking other people doesn't make you look better, it makes you seem petty. I might have checked you out but now I know it would be a waste of my time. Enjoy your own company as no one else could I'll pray for you. Humility is a good thing. Good day.
I’m going to give this a try! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and for writing. Glad to hear you learned something new!
