Learn how to turn an old, non-working wristwatch into a beautiful keepsake locket similar to the example. We'll start with a watch case and found objects, add some wire, learn some winding, bending and shaping techniques and turn it all into a unique piece of jewelry.
Skill level: Intermediate to Advanced
Supply List:
Students must bring one or more watch cases; men's watches with an approximate 1 inch diameter work best, but most any size can be used.
A large steel washer (approx. 2 inch outside diameter) will server as the back of the locket (it doesn't have to be rusty, but it helps!)
Also bring one or more small photos (small enough to fit inside the opening).
Basic jewelry making tools:
round nose and flat nose pliers
wire cutter
small hammer
bench block or anvil
Optional equipment:
Jewelers saw and a "Gizmo" winding tool
