Jewelry Making

fifi asked:


I currently make jewelry with beads and other materials but am very interested in learning how to solder, set stones, and do more metal smithing. I live in wisconsin, milwaukee to be exact and don’t know where to find classes or places to buy supplies and learn. Can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!!

I’m in a jewelry class at school and I am making a key chain in the shape of a seal with copper. I am currently trying to hand polishing it, but the metal keeps (i think?) tarnishing where I hold it. I think it is reacting to moisture or chemicals or something on my hands, or maybe just air. I was wondering if using clear nail polish would prevent it from becoming dull when i move on to another part of the metal to polish. Does this work?
If not, any suggestions?

i need some good websites that show images of how to solder a basic ring. also any other good websites on basic pendant/bracelet making would also be good. i need it for my college project. thanks for your help

Weather their just starting out, or well into the hobby. I would say that my level of involvement is at a beginners stage. But I have a boat load of supplies accumulated. Seriously, a lot of beads. I would love to see some of the work that people have found, or made themselves. So many of the designs that I find in the books are horrid. Thanks! P.S. if you know of any good websites that are free and provide instructions please let me know.

I need to buy empty lockets or empty cameo settings today or tomorrow!

this past weekend i went to the AACCS (aboriginal art and culture celebration society) Aboriginal Day Celebration at the vancouver art gallery. there was a booth selling jewelry, that was handmade under the name of Spirit Dancer Earrings (i am pretty sure about the name) if anyone knows an e-mail, website, or phone number for the people who sell/make this jewelry i would really appreciate if you shared it with me. The jewelry was beautiful but unfortunately i had to leave before i could purchase any, and now the celebration had ended. So my chance to get some there is no more. I would love to find a way to contact this company. Thank you all very much- Hayley
