Just recently found your channel. Really great tutorials - you cover all the important basics of your projects and do a super job of explaining. 😁👍

it's lovely!

[@haririalaa6487]

lovely like your eyes :)

[@cgpartistry]

Serious question, Would it be possible to add cremation ashes to the inside before you solder the final piece on?

[@crazy4beading]

i'm a huge fan! love this project. did you do a video on the earrings you're wearing? i looked and can't find one!

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

Hi, yes there's one pinned at the top of my Instagram profile, called Earrings Tute :D instagram.com/makeitkimtoday/

[@crazy4beading]

@@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126 found it! love them. would never have thought they were jackets? do you know the gauge of the bezel wire you used in this project? going to try my hand at it! thanks!!!

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

@@crazy4beading The bezel was a 5mm cast bezel cup from Kernowcraft. The main metal was 1.5mm square gold-filled wire. The earwire was 1mm round :)

[@crazy4beading]

thanks for the help. i was really asking about the bezel wire you used in the hollow bead. thanks again!!

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

@@crazy4beading Ahhhh :) I'm not sure, I think it was about 1mm thick. Anything between 0.3-1.5mm would work fine.

[@GottliebGoltz]

Thank You. Jewelry has always puzzled Me. Yup.1

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Great information! Thank you!
Just curious ... would there be any issue with quenching the piece in the Pickle solution rather than in water. Since the Pickle solution works better when hot, wouldn't that help speed up the cleaning process, instead of quenching in water, then having to warm the piece back up in the pickle solution?

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

Yes, and many people do but from a teaching perspective, it's not safe as there's a risk of the pickle spraying at you when the hot metal hits the solution, especially with big pieces.

[@dolfinmagikpro]

That makes sense! Thank you!

[@annjessup1670]

That’s very cool looking!! Thank you ❤

[@sheena8869]

Definitly want to try a hollow form! so brill
