Making Charms for a Charm Bracelet: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to make 3 different charms to add to the bracelet I made on the previous video. This is part 2 of 2 in making a charm bracelet. I chose to make a canoe with paddle, a paw print, and a retro rocket ship with a bezel set stone for the flame. For materials, I used 18 gauge sterling silver round wire, 16 gauge sterling silver round wire, 14 gauge sterling silver square wire, low dome half round sterling, 18 gauge sterling sheet, 3/16 inch fine silver bezel in 28 gauge, cut down, and 22 gauge sterling sheet. I also used silver scrap to make the paw. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!
