Emerald and Agate Pendant: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This video tutorial shows how to create a nice Sterling Silver and gemstone Hollow form Pendant. In this one I set two small Emerald Cabochons, and two small green dyed agates. The materials I used were: 12 gauge sterling square wire, 22 gauge sterling sheet, 26 gauge sterling sheet, 18 gauge sterling sheet, and 3/16 inch fine silver bezel strip in 28 gauge, hard silver solder, and My-T-Flux. This one features how to create hollow forms safely, as well as using an object as an inspiration for a jewelry piece, in this case, a retro table lamp. This is an intermediate project. 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?
