Making an Infinity Knot Pendant: A Silversmithing Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This tutorial shows how to make a stylish infinity knot pendant. The stone is a 9 mm Prasiolite (green Amethyst). This is an advanced level project. For materials, I used 16 (1.3 mm) gauge sterling round wire, and 16 gauge (1.3 mm) sterling square wire. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux.

I really like this pendant Chad. Definitely putting on my to build list. Thanks for clear instruction as well.
You’re welcome Bill! Show me when you are done. I’d love to see it:)
I love this one. I will have figure what stone I have that will look nice and give it a try.
I have no doubt that you will make something pretty Van!
Love this, very classy. Thanks for sharing with us
Thanks Julia:)
Very pretty. I love it! Thanks Chad.
Thank you Melinda!
Great video, lovely design, thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Pat! You’re awesome:)
I love your channel, the videos are filled with amazing projects! Greetings from Costa Rica. I love how much detail you place into the information you share.
Thanks Carlos! Greetings from Colorado:)
Beautiful pendant!
Thank you!
Very nice Chad, great tutorial!
Thank you Jim!
Thanks!
That is super generous deltajane! Thank you so much:)
A wonderful project thank yoy
Thank you Kassem!
Elegant! I might do this one (or a version of it)
Thanks Rockkris! Send me a pic to my instagram when you finish. I’d love to see it:)
Oh wow! That's a stunning piece of jewellery! Awesome work Chad and thanks for sharing. Take care and have a fantastic weekend. Dragon fly jewellery looks great, and they always remind me of summer.
Thank you Gazz! Have you been watching since I made the dragonfly piece about two years ago?
@@chadssilversmithing I've not seen that one. Added it to my watch later.
Thank you for another beautiful pendant Chad!!! Love watching your work!!
Thanks Wyn!
Great design. Might have a go at it for some earrings with some bezel set garnet cabs and twisted wire that I’ll oxidise. Give it a gothy twist.
Do they tilt at all when hanging. Where the bail meets the top of the 8 looks like it might make them do so?
BTW insect wise ppl love a Dragonfly!
Thanks Just Me! I ended up adding a second 16 gauge ring on the back to deal with the depth of the pavilion on this stone, and this elevated the lower part of the piece reducing any tilt. Have you seen this? ruclips.net/video/Xj5T9nH8Qu4/видео.htmlsi=XTpqYgekpzC8x7-n
@@chadssilversmithingThanks Chad!
It`s a very good construction and very good to make but not good to make if the calotte of the stone is domed to heavy. the calotte is then sticking out. Günther Clemenz
Thanks Günther! I ended up adding a second ring on the back to deal with the stone’s depth.

Thanks WizardKitty!
Love love love this pendant. ❤ Do you do anything to prep the solder before you cut it up?
Thanks! I do not:)
So, no matter how many points you have to solder, you only use hard solder? Thank you for your videos!
For the most part:). I occasionally use a bit of easy on things at the end when I’m worried about unintended flow like hinges and spinner rings. Thanks for the nice comment!
I really like this design and one day soon will start working with silver - right now I’m learning to facet and I’ll need to also something with the stones I cut! Your videos are a foundation block for my learning thank you!!
I noticed at 20:56 as you were soldering the inner and outer loops together that the left “arm” was heated enough to turn red then it suddenly drooped. Does that happen when silver hits annealing temperature and softens if not supported underneath or is that a sign of overheating?
I think I let that get a little hotter than I would have preferred. I backed off before anything got too melty. I could have supported it somehow better so it couldn't shift at all:). Generally never want things to get that red if one can help it.
Stunning! As always! Quick question.. do you think 18g for the round would work with the 16g square? Also, do you always use dead soft or half hard, etc? Appreciate all your talents!
Hello Quantum GirlE. 18 would work just fine, but would look a little more delicate. I buy dead soft for everything for the most part:)
I cut it twice and it was still too short.
Third time's the charm!:)
What’s a barbel(?) base? 😅
I’m not sure:). I may have mumbled something that sounded like that during the video, but I’m not sure what it was…
