Hi Madison, the Metal Starter Pack video includes all the silver I order from Monsterslayer.com. Their website is a little outdated and can take some time to learn. You could also check out riogrande.com for silver. However, there turnaround times are much slower that's why I recommend monsterslayer.com

This video has almost everything ive been searching for.. A couple of questions though. How about Stone setting round wire. What gauges would you use for making settings like a basket setting etc? or does it vary by stone size? 2nd Question. What would you recommend for mens rings? Usually they are thicker, wider etc.
@SpiritMountainSilver
2 жыл бұрын
I don't have any experience with basket/prong setting unfortunately. Only bezel setting! I haven't made a men's ring myself, however there are other wires that would work great for a thicker, sturdier ring such as #3 low dome wire!

I use dead soft for almost everything. I personally don't have any use for half hard/hard. They are much harder to work with. Dead soft makes the silver much more pliable and easier to work with and you can always work hardened the metal to meet your needs!

Hi there! I usually purchase an assortment of stamps that I used both on silver wire and silver sheet depending on the size of the stamp! I usually stamp on 6-8 gauge half round wire so I will buy stamps based off the dimensions of those wires. As for bezel wires, I use 1/8” and 3/16” most often! For really small stones I will opt for 3/32” 😊
