Download or read book Your Guide To Making Jewelry With Silver written by Tommy Heisey and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver is a white metallic element, harder than gold, softer than copper, and second only to gold in malleability and ductility. Represented on the Periodic Table of the Elements by the symbol Ag, silver is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. Silver is considered one of the noble metals because of its excellent resistance to oxidation. Historically, silver has played a prominent role in the production of jewelry and objets d'art and is usually alloyed with another metal to harden it enough to maintain the desired shape and details imparted to it. Learning the skills needed for making silver jewelry could prove extremely beneficial. When it comes to making such pieces you need to know where to purchase the right kinds of supplies. In this book not only do we discuss what's needed to start your own silver jewelry-making venture but also provide several projects you may want to try out. We also recommend you attend a silver jewelry-making course if you can as well. If you're having problems finding courses we highly recommend you look online for what you need. You may even find an online course that enables you to learn in the comfort of your own home. As a beginner, the kind, of course, you should be looking for is one, which covers the basics. The kinds of skills this course should be teaching you relate to soldering cutting, shaping, and texturing the silver plus polishing it. Also look for courses that teach you skills such as making jump rings, hooks, and clasps for earrings. Finally what you should be looking for in a course is one that'll allow you to make a number of different pieces of jewelry from silver. The actual process of turning a piece of silver into a piece of jewelry is not only very technical but also allows your artistic side to flourish. Once you've finished making silver jewelry either for yourself or for someone else, can prove extremely satisfying, especially as you watch the piece develop and grow.

About the Expert Genny Wilson has been making jewelry for about six years and has no plans to stop anytime soon. Originally starting to make a little extra cash at a local festival, she found it so enjoyable she decided to give her creations away as door prizes. “I was immediately hooked.” She says,“From the moment that I finished my first piece there was no going back.” When asked why she loved it so much the hobbyist replied, “I’ve always loved making things, I love the idea of taking a bunch of things and making something new out of it. It’s much more enjoyable than buying something at the store because you took the time to make it with your own two hands.” So, what made her decide to share her jewelry making knowledge? “I’ve seen a lot of newcomers on the scene, people that for whatever reason have decided to try their hand at making jewelry. A lot of these people are just like I was when I started and have no idea how to tell the difference between a jump ring and a headpin. I wish there had been a detailed guide I could have used as reference back then.” HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
