Honored to be featured in September issue of Malaysia 品 Pin Prestige magazine for being a Malaysian Handmade Jewelry artist. I've shared how I have came about making jewelry and what I have learned and earned from building this Handmade Jewelry Business.

How To Collect Silver Bits and Silver Dust, Wire Jewelry Tutorial

I posted a topic asking what do I do with the silver dust left on my bench the other day in Wire Wrapped Jewelry Artist facebook group, and everyone suggested me to collect them and wait for it to accumulate, then sell it back to Rio's or melt it to create something. I never really had to collect silver dust until I started to drill my silver wires and blanks, using metal sheet puncher will leads to some silver bits for me to collect too, and I figure picking them up from the bench might be a little tricky because these silver dust or bits will get into those holes on my wooden bench.

So I took this opportunity to recycle two of my ST. DALFOUR 1 Ounce Jars to collect my silver bits and silver dust.

Here's the video - please excuse the fan spinning sound at the background, I was using an USB fan near my workbench lol.

P/S: I put a ceramic plate on top of my wooden work bench before start drilling my silver pieces just in case the hand-twist drill will drill through the wooden workbench and the wood dust mixed up with the silver dust.

Let me know what you think!

Interchangeable Knotted Flower Petals for Studs and Hoops Earrings, Wired Chinese Knot Jewelry

I am totally excited about this newly finalized creation!
I was cracking my head on what do I do about the knotted flower petals and then I decided to leave it as it is so YOU can decide what to do about it. :)

With an almost 11mo baby I have, as usual, very limited time to work with my wires, so this pretty took me about 5 days to complete, averagely 2 hours a day, so it's a total 10 hours, not too bad for a handmade jewelry project. :)

A side view of it, so you have some idea on it's weave. I bend it a little to give it some waves so it won't look as boring:

I first fit my 0.8ct Diamond Ear Studs to it, it gives it a new life instantly!

And it goes really well with my Platinum Enhanced 92.5 Sterling Silver Ear Studs with Cubic Zirconia Stones too.. :)

I then test it out with my Rose Studs Earrings, it is still looking pretty.

And last but not least, just yet another very popular studs design of mine: ZHU Studs.

It works for hoops earrings too - the plain ones. :)

A quick video on it's look and feels:

DIY Closed Circle Knotted Pearl Trim, Wire Jewelry Tutorial Video / Slideshow

I have put all steps to create this knotted pearl trim together into the slideshow, though you could still download the PDF version of it.

The benefit of making a pearls trim with this technique is that all pearl beads (or any beads) are individually knotted in between, therefore preventing the beads from scattering everywhere in case of the necklace being broken.

You may download your complimentary PDF version of Closed Circle Knotted Pearl Trim Jewelry Tutorial today and go make something nice and safe for yourself or your little one. :)
