[Beautyforhire]

[Careneri]

Love this video and you're very easy to follow. Can't wait to watch the rest. I will definetly try making this one.

[xyatagan]

great work !

may this question be allowed:

did you ever see a bracelet be broken because its just bended wire?

would it be better to solder the links before linking it together ?

best regards,

[ScreeminMeeme]

Excellent tutorial. Very informative. Can't wait to try this. I look forward to many more of your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)

[realisticart]

@ScreeminMeeme

Thanks!! Glad you like my videos!

[electriclolly]

Thank you! This video is worth many units in a college jewelry making class. Your generosity is much appreciated.

[realisticart]

@electriclolly

Thanks for watching!!!

[MsPenchi]

This is beautiful! What level of difficulty would you say this is? I am a beginner to wire jewelry making but this does look do-able!

[realisticart]

@MsPenchi

Although the Egyptian link involves a series of steps, it is very doable. I teach this to my beginning students, and after some practice they all create outstanding necklaces. I hope you enjoy making the Egyptian Link necklace, and thanks for watching my videos!

[gun327]

wow! awesome. n u didi superb job in explaining thm.m off to purchse the wire n do this n m subscribing to u.

[realisticart]

@gun327 Great - thanks!

[00honey000]

U said in the 1st video that u used a 5 1/2 piece of wire? no wonder my links are smaller then yours! oh well I still like your work, thanks again......

[betsaification]

I want to make one! :) I will try!!!!!

[realisticart]

@betsaification

Thanks for watching my video!

You can purchase nickel silver wire from any good craft or jewelry supply store. I use 20 gauge wire when I make the links in nickel silver, and .035, soft, round when I make them in sterling silver. I purchase my sterling silver wire from Myron toback inc.

[betsaification]

Where can I buy the wire? thanks!

[bazzingalore]

Great vid but could you just show us how to make one and then use prev made ones to show us how to link them?

[len3449t]

Your videos are awsome. They've helped me out a lot. I'm just starting out making jewelry, and the sterling silver really caught my attention. Thanks!

[realisticart]

@len3449t Great- good luck to you! Glad the videos help.

[launicayoly2]

Aww Sirr this is pure awsomeness ,yesss ! thank YOU!

[realisticart]

@launicayoly2 You are welcome! Thanks for your comment.

[salexander1101]

My spirals got so much prettier and uniform since watching this! Thank you!

[realisticart]

@salexander1101 Great! Part of that is also lots of practice! Thanks for commenting.

[KristinaMonte]

Wait....come back... where did you go?? How do I finish this?? do I add a clasp to close the chain and how?? Use my fantasy???

[habhob10]

I like it tooo much ... but i want to know how many part of wires to make the necklace?

[realisticart]

@habhob10 If you refer to the number of links for an average necklace, I use 56. A 6-inch piece of wire makes one link. If this is not what you are asking, please let me know.

[habhob10]

@realisticart thank you ... that's exactly what I ask about it

[Yongchundaiquan]

Thanks for responding. I made earrings and necklaces​using your Egypt technique .

[realisticart]

@Yongchundaiquan  Great!

[DaBlondeTwins]

Oh my gosh! It looks so good when it's even just got four links! I can't wait to make it and you are really good at making wire jewelry. I don't even care if mine doesn't look as good, I haven't had as much practice and I'll still be proud of it. I wanted to make a pretty necklace, and now I can thanks to you. So yay! :-D

[realisticart]

@DaBlondeTwins Terrific! I am glad you enjoyed the process. That's what counts. Thanks for your feedback!

[fashiongurus1]

[realisticart]

@cutie5308dp  Thank you - I appreciate that!

[xKaitlinGeex]

Mine doesn't look as good as this. I tried, but one side will be lop-sided. It just doesn't work for me.

[realisticart]

@xKaitlinGeex I hope you will try another project. Thanks for you comment.

[eac2586]

Fantastic!

[realisticart]

@eac2586  Thank you!

[ChojiHamon]

I assume you are using jewelers needle nose pliars that are smooth and not ribbed correct?

[realisticart]

Yes, I use jewelers needle nose pliers. The ribbed pliers would damage the wire.

[Crisaxesory]

excellent work and very good explanation, thanks

share.

[realisticart]

@Crisaxesory Thanks for you comments - I appreciate that very much!

[EgittoMyLove]

wow

[oLynxXo]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'll definitely try this, but I think I'll start with a bracelet. :D

[mcchrissy2010]

This is a great necklace!



[sincityfunnygyrl]

THANK U THAT WAS WONDERFUL

[ChristSoilder]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to lear more! Does anyone know how we could incorporate gemstone bead "chips" ? I appreciate the help in advance :)

[renamason]

i would like to thank you for making this video ,i loved it so much that i made the necklace and some earrings for myself and i made some money too ! i just followed everything you did and i got it one the first try ,thank so much!

[llu14]

i love you vid i made my mom and my bets friends one but out of nickel silver and bronze it turn out great keep making vid cues there are very easy to follow and think you for posting this

[MrConkamar]

man this is great i have just decided to start making jewelry and this is just great .. i am going to get my tools and materials .. because this just help me to make up my mind. I am going to start my own business now.. jewelry making.. bye bye unemployment

[tifdun1]

hi realisticart, thanks for the video, it was easy to follow. i'll be watching for other video's you've produced. i do have a question in general: do you know what kind of metal to use to make a push/pull clasp? the kind where you pinch one piece and push it into the other piece then release it and it springs back up securing both pieces together. i tried making one but used the wrong type of metal and it doesn't spring back up. any help you can give me will be appreciated. thanks

[realisticart]

Thanks for watching my video! You might want to try 20ga nickel silver, then after you form it, hammer it lightly on an anvil to give it added resiliency.

[tinaworrall]

excellent! im going to try this now :-) Thank You

[Winksartist]

Excellent tutorial - very clear and easy to follow. Please fo more

[Demon4403]

Wow! Thanks so much for these videos! Can't wait to try some of this tomorrow :) You explain things well & I learned a lot. Thanks again !

[cjcaress69]

thanks so much for s haring this. i learned a lot!

[realisticart]

Thanks!!

[DivaJacobs313]

I see the wire is round soft, but, is it 20 gauge, 19 gauge? thanks....

[realisticart]

Use 20 gauge Nickel Silver.

or

If you use sterling silver, use .035, which is around 18 gauge.

[DivaJacobs313]

ok thanks so much... was just working on some wire rings.....

[ullaernstr]

@realisticart > I am confused about the gauge for the sterling silver one: 18 gauge is 0.048 inch and .035 inch is actually 20 gauge (0.036) according to some charts I have found. Which one should I use? Thanks

[BlemishedOcean]

@ullaernstr i dont really think it matters 2 much im not an expert at this so i can b wrong but if u use a smaller gauge then u should just make it smaller...i hope this helps

[DivaJacobs313]

thank you so much... I am new to the world of wire wraping.. My father is a jeweler by trade and I always wanted to learn... but fear of the torch and buffing machines etc. too harsh for me... and I love jewelry... Now I can still enjoy making jewelry with a much easier method.... thanks... all info is appreciated...

[DivaJacobs313]

Are you going to show us how to put the finishing closure on it? or did you already show us? thanks...

[realisticart]

Hi, I'll post a video on the closures that I make for the Egyptian Link sometime during the weekend. Thanks for looking at it.
