    You can use a piece of hanger wire to make the jump ring

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  19 часов назад +3

      I usually use silver when I make smaller jump rings. I think hanger wire would look sort of cheap. Besides, our hangers are all plastic.

    To make a bigger jump ring, just use metal wire, I've done it with several pendants, and it works like a charm.😊❤😊

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  19 часов назад

      I make much smaller jumps rings, maybe 1/4 inch in diameter out of 20 gauge silver wire. It doesn't seem like that small wire with a big diameter would stay together very well. It should probably be soldered together. How do you make yours?

  • @robzombieshot
    @robzombieshot 18 часов назад +2

    Big enough to just loop through a silk cord. Fold in half, like a point, poke through then loop the ends through and knot.

    • @MichiganRocks

      Ah! Someone else told me to make a simple bail knot. That must be what they were talking about. I feel silly not thinking of that myself.

    You don't need to jump ring all you need is a piece of satin cord and use a basic bail knot!

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  19 часов назад

      That's great news. Now I just need to learn what a basic bail knot is. I was picturing a cord or chain going through, but the hole is perpendicular to the direction it should be.

  • @TruthWillSetYouFree832
    @TruthWillSetYouFree832 7 часов назад

    That looks nice, Rob! Have you thought about putting in a countersink in the hole (or rounding it) to make it a bit "softer" of an edge for anything going through the hole? Maybe it's not that sharp and that might be risky for the material.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  Час назад

      I don't think I've ever made a pendant with a hole like this, so I haven't really put much thought into it. I could put some silver grommets in the front and back. The problem with rounding it is that it would be difficult to polish that rounded over edge. I don't know if it would look bad unpolished or not.

  • @Objective-Observer
    @Objective-Observer 18 часов назад

    I wouldn't use a jump ring. A silk cord with a knot on top to help it lie flat. Add some small beads and knots for a little more texture and you have an awesome piece,

    Love your work and your videos! Can a perpendicular Dremel be used to cut that hole in a stone even without the natural dip you started this one in? (with a diamond tip I imagine.)

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  Час назад +1

      I drilled the first 1 mm hole with a Dremel. The only problem might be getting a big enough bit for the Dremel. Here's a recent video I did on drilling holes. ruclips.net/video/hxSzB65Mneg/видео.html

    You could also use a black or brown cord making a knot to lay flat. No need for a vale…

      Someone else explained how to tie the proper knot. It's easy, so I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't think of that.
