How to Make A Silver Wire Jewelry Necklace, Egyptian Link Part 1

How to make a silver wire necklace, this video shows how to construct the beautiful Egyptian Link in easy to follow, step by step instructions. Additionally you can view still photographs of each of the steps involved at http://www.artfine.com/lesson/el/eli.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 Egyptian Link Necklace requires the use of three pliers, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers and diagonal cutters.

Thanks for watching my video! To see how to attach the Egyptian links, please view "How to Make A Silver Wire Jewelry Necklace, Egyptian Link Part 2. I begin to discuss how to attach the links at this location 4:40 Because of the complicated nature of this link, I needed to present it in a 2 part video series.

[BlueCrystal316]

Very nice job! However, I didn't see how they were connected to each other to form the link.

Glad you liked the video! To make the Egyptian Link Necklace I used 20 gauge wire. I also often use 18 gauge.
