If you dont have a large anvil, putthe smaller tool on a very heavysturdy surface. The more resistanceyou have, the better the results.

You can cut down the hammering time by running the pieces througha rolling mill, and then finishing with a hammer to make it look more organic.

When I use a jewelers wheel, I liketo handle my pieces with my barehands as I have more control. I keepa small dish of water handy to dropthem in and cool them off when theybecome too hot to hold.

wire defnition

Annealing is the process of using heat to return wire and metals to amalleable state. Manipulating wire with tools will cause it to become brittleand much harder to work with. Heavy gauges of wire, additionally, aredifficult to work. Heating the wire with a torch to a dull red (in a dimly-lit

room), will enable you to more easily work the metal again. You can annealthe same piece a number of times.

Photo 13 Solder the bezel onto the heart.

Photo 14 Set the stone with the bezel

pusher, being careful not to chip the stone.Here, because of the colors of the metals, Idecided to use a garnet.

Photo 15 Make the bail. Cut 1.75" x 1.25"of 16ga. sterling sheet. Round off theends with a file. Drill two holes with the5/64" bit.

Photo 16 Bend the bail by hand aroundthe 5/16" drill bit. Then, saw it down themiddle with the jewelers saw and pull the

two sides apart like bunny ears. Refinewith 400 grit sandpaper. Polishing the bailwith a buffer looks better, because it cre-ates contrast, but thats up to you.

Photo 17 Cover the front of the piece withduct tape to protect it while youre rivetingthe bail. Cut 8mm of the 14 gauge roundsterling wire. Hammer the rivet into place.Patina the piece with ferric chloride, thenbuff it with a rouge cloth. Since this is alarger piece, I put mine on a fairly thick

chain.
