This tutorial shows how to make a simple traditional locket. The stone is an oval dyed blue Agate. This is an advanced level project. For materials, I used 18 (1.02 mm) and 20 (.79 mm) gauge sterling round wire, 14 gauge (1.6 mm) sterling square wire, 22 gauge (.66 mm) sterling sheet, and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) fine silver bezel strip in 26 gauge (.41 mm). As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux, although I used a bit of easy paste solder for the last soldering operation.

It is important to use safe practices when dealing with fire, sharp tools, and chemicals. Here is a video on safety: [ Ссылка ]
