Hi! :) My name is Nives and I'm coming from Croatia (country near Italy). I ordered your book and got it before 3 days. From the start I was amazed
with...
If you are making your own filigree wire, I'd go with dead soft 24 gauge round wire, but half hard for the square frame wire. Being in Croatia, I would look...
Is anyone working on learning this beautiful art? I have all of my supplies but keep hesitating. Wanting to learn and yet afraid of failure. Plus, I really...
Hi everybody, My name is Tod and I am from Oklahoma City. I am brand new to jewelry making, but I have made some cool things and this seemed like a natural ...
Hi Tod, The filigree wire has order number 100-831. There was a mix up last year and the wire that got into the catalog was only twisted, not flattened, so...
I tried entering 100-831 or 100831 in their search engine and it wasn't there. I looked through all the silver wire manually and found 100821, but it doesn't...
it's in stock...you have to call them though, as it's not in their database online...I will email Kevin Whitmore at Rio and mention it to him though Jeanne ......
I just got an email back from Kevin Whitmore at Rio about the wire not being in the online database and he said he'd get that fixed asap.....Let me know if...
Welcome Tod! Where in Oklahoma City are you? My brother lives off of MacArthur. I live out by Tecumseh, Shawnee area. I am so anxious to get started on this...

Hi, Well I took matters into my own hands and thought I would try one last
thing. I use my small twisted silver wire and ran it thru my pasta machine.

I've gotten quite a few new member requests recently....and would like members who have not yet introduced themselves to do so....and older members could feel...
Hi everyone I just got THE BOOK about two months back. Its totally addictive. I actually only had my first experience of silversmithing in July when I ...
I have to say that I still am amazed when I hear how far away my book is being sold! It¹s really cool to know it¹s getting around to so many other countries...
Its a small world, and becoming even smaller with fast internet. I think you are going to have quite a few people from our club buying your book. Everyone is...
settings are a royal pain.....they are my least favorite part of silver work! I make most cab settings, but buy my faceted settings, but you said they are hard...
I'll look into getting the gallery bezel. I've really admired it on some of your cabs. I'm assuming its the stuff that has a sort of fleur de lis look. I...
Hi I've added some pics of my projects. The tiger's eye earrings remind me so much of eyes I'm going to try making a neckpiece that looks like a pair of eyes....
Hi Sharmila, You have done a wonderful job! I love the tiger seye earings as well. I
was wondering where all the other pics went as well. I hope to get...
looks like you are getting the hang of things! One small constructive advice on the earrings...I see at least two places where you haven't gotten the teardrops...
