Jimmy designed a new pendant and introduced it to his jewelry II class in 2021. This pendant introduced a bunch of new skills (some of which Jimmy had never taught before) and challenge the skills you gained through Jewelry I.
Skills used
- hollow form construction
- piercing
- tube bezel
- charcoal block casting
- decorative rivets
In this video Jimmy creates three elegant connectors.
You can use these to connect to your jump ring instead of connecting the jump ring directly to the jewelry.
This is one of the skills jimmy finds essential as he has always found importance in having details in your jewelry.

other techniques shown:
- Mixing metals in your work
