6 DIY Jewelry Design Ideas For Guys - Men's Bracelets and Men's Necklaces
When it comes to designing, I think I’ve been ignoring a very important client throughout my career at SilverSilk. Who is that client? Me of course! I love wearing necklaces and haven’t made many at all for myself. So I used this tutorial video as an excuse to force myself to create designs and fulfill my desire to make men’s jewelry. Here, I create six designs with basic wire-wrapping techniques and use the SilverSilk findings in a modern, innovative way to hang pendants from. Watch this video to get inspirational ideas on how you can create jewelry for the guy in your life.
