How To Hollow Out Rocks. A lot of people have asked me how I hollow out river rocks to make my river rock necklaces, so I took photos of today's process to share with you.
I recommend drilling softer sedimentary rocks (sandstone, limestone, etc). When scouring the beach for rocks, these tend to be well rounded. Those that are not rounded are probably harder igneous or metamorphic rock and are likely to break apart while drilling or even break your drill bit. Materials Needed: High speed rotary tool (I have a large, used drill press), but I've read that a dremel tool works well.A small (2mm diameter) and large (10mm) hollow, diamond-tipped coring bit.Plastic container to hold water so you can drill your stone under water (I use an old dog bowl).

Well, I had to make cord ends and a clasp for it as I didn't have either in bronze. I did have 20G bronze wire and this is how I went about making the findings. The 20G wire gives a more delicate look. You could also go for thicker wire like 18 G or lower for the clasp. This style of clasp is ideal for chain maille jewelry because the double loops resemble the double rings used in the weaves. COIL ENDSI coiled some lengths of wire around a knitting needle.

Precious jewelry making wire (namely sterling silver, fine silver and goldfilled) can be classified in a variety of ways: About wire material There are two types of jewelry making wire, when it comes to materials: 1) Precious materials: sterling silver, fine silver, goldfilled and karat gold.
Sterling silver is the preferred material due to it's relatively low cost and ease of use. Sterling silver wire is mixed with a small percentage of other materials, which makes the wire more malleable but not too soft. Fine silver has a higher content of silver than sterling, however, it can be too soft and becomes easily kinked or unraveled. Karat gold wire is very expensive and sometimes brittle, therefore should only be used by more experienced wire wrappers. Goldfilled wire is covered with quality gold, and is also perceived as being precious, but does not carry the expensive price tag as karat gold.

Comme je vous l'avais annoncé, voici mon tuto de bague en fil de métal.
Tout d'abord il faut savoir qu'il existe plus d'une sorte de fil de métal et aussi plus d'une épaisseur de fil. J'utilise plus d'une sorte de fil dépendamment de ce que je désire réaliser. Il y a des fils très souples et d'autres plus rigides. J'achète certains fils en quincaillerie et d'autres en magasin de matériel d'artisanats ou de bijoux. Si vous commencez à travailler et expérimentez avec ce matériau vous trouverez ceux qui vous plaisent le plus .
Je prends parfois du fil en acier inoxydable de 20 Gauges (se trouve en quincaillerie), pourtant pour le même calibre de fil on trouve des fils assez malléables et d'autres qui ne le sont presque pas (d'une marque à l'autre les caractéristiques ne sont pas les mêmes).
