<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 7836388, member: 56859&quot;]Been a while since I&#039;ve made any jewelry.&nbsp; Most of my tools and hobby equipment are still in storage after moving but I got out a few things and starting working on some chains and such.&nbsp; The chain I&#039;m holding was made over the last few days, starting from 18g 14k gold filled wire because that&#039;s what I had on hand.&nbsp; I&#039;d love to make the same chain in 24k but can&#039;t justify the expense for such a whim-- it would take ~3.2 ozt (or more) for a 46 cm necklace.&nbsp; Other chains in the picture are either fine silver or .935 silver, plus one 24k chain of a rather experimental construction.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1347300[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I do a little bit of traditional jewelrysmithing, mostly fabrication and some stone setting.&nbsp; Making chains is soothing.&nbsp; The repetition helps clear a cluttered mind <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; The necklace I&#039;m holding is ~51 cm long, 5 mm wide, and contains ~350 links, each made by hand and linked one at a time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t even wear jewelry regularly... I just love making things <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
