LOL Videos are NOT Valerie's favorite activity (as perhaps you guessed) but you will still catch sight of her now and then. :)

Thanks for this video! Also love your nail polish.

You are very welcome! And thanks, I'm obsessed with fun nail polish. :)

Thanks for uploading! In your experience, how many sizes do you think one could stretch silver using this method? Additionally, would some heat help the process? I probably need to gain 2 sizes ... cheers

[@JewelryArts]

you can definitely stretch a silver ring two sizes but go a bit slowly and anneal frequently. :)

@@JewelryArts Thanks for your response, appreciate your time! I think I'm going to give it a shot 😧 ... All the best from Southwestern Ontario Canada ✌️

@@thekeeler846 Let me know how it goes! :)

Better yet stick in a hole close to same size only slightly larger then pound on the tool instead of the ring

[@bubbieble]

Hi, I am watching this video 1 year later 😆 Just curious, did it work with the 2 sizes up?

[@adrienneoliver5457]

Magick eyeballs 😂

[@JewelryArts]

I definitely need them! 😃

[@caseylowe2]

Can you stretch my ring please? For how much? I think it’s sterling silver!

[@JewelryArts]

Any jewelry store should be able to size it for you. :)
