Making a 1920's Inspired Necklace: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to make a retro festoon pendant featuring two faceted Prasiolites (green Amethyst). This is an advanced level project. For materials, I used 16 (1.3 mm) and 18 (1.02 mm) gauge sterling round wire, 14 (1.6 mm) and 16 (1.3 mm) gauge sterling square wire, 26 (.41 mm) gauge sterling sheet, and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) fine silver bezel in 26 (.41 mm) gauge. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux, and this time a little easy paste solder at the end.

I love you do so many different styles! I made one of the mid century modern pendants from your playlist yesterday. My hubby is obsessed with that era. He loved it. This is going to be tonight's project. 😊 You are the only RUclipsr where I love every single design you've made! I truly think following your videos got my skills looking much better. Appreciate you sharing your passion, hobby, and artful skill. 🫶
