How to Make A Silver Wire Jewelry Necklace, Figure 8 Link Necklace with Red Beads

How to make a silver wire necklace, this video demonstrates how to construct the beautiful Figure 8 Link necklace and incorporate red glass beads, in easy to follow, step by step instructions. Additionally you can view still photographs of each of the steps involved at http://artfine.com/lesson/figure8/figure8.htm My standard wire is .035 sterling silver wire, soft, round, but you can also use 18 gauge nickel silver wire, or experiment with the many wires available at craft stores. I particularly like to use Black Stove Pipe wire. The construction of the Figure 8 Necklace requires the use of three pliers, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers and diagonal cutters.

Thank you for watching!!

around 9:07, 9:08 when you zoomed in I think I missed the part when you made the 1st link or maybe its not necessary? You rap the long end around and leave the side with the bead free?

Thanks for watching!

That sounds correct. Wrap the long end around its adjacent loop, resulting in the side with the bead remaining free. To add the next link, put the short end into the loop with the bead, place a bead on the long end, and wrap the long end.

This is a fabulous link! The variations that can be done with this technique is endless. I am in the process of making a chain with 18g bronze wire and sterling silver beads. It is gorgeous. Thanks!
