Silversmithing in 22 lessons: form, solder and assemble a hinged pendant. English dubbing, subtitles and notes.
What you'll learn

⚡ Explain how a spherical silver locket opens on a handmade hinge and closes with 3 rings threaded onto a chain.

⚡ Prepare silver sheet by annealing and rolling, calculate the disc size, and stamp and cut 2 matching blanks.

⚡ Form 2 hemispheres with a dapping block and punches, then adjust their height and edges for a matching fit.

⚡ Make small hinge components from silver wire using drilling, cutting, filing and soldering.

⚡ Position and solder the hinge parts to the shells while checking alignment and keeping the moving parts clear.

⚡ Form and fit a 3-ring closure, check for interference, and protect existing joints during later soldering stages.

⚡ Plan the polishing sequence and use compound on cotton thread to reach narrow spaces that a buff cannot reach.

⚡ Assemble and finish the hinge, and explain how its basic structure could inform other locket shapes.
Requirements

❗ Basic jewelry metalworking experience is recommended for hands-on practice. You should be able to use cutting, drilling, heating, soldering and polishing equipment safely. This is a project course, not a first lesson in workshop safety.

❗ You do not need previous locket-making experience or Japanese language skills. Newcomers can first watch the process, then seek appropriate practical instruction before using unfamiliar equipment.

❗ For the demonstrated project, prepare 950 silver sheet and 950 silver round wire for the hinge and closure, plus a chain to pass through the closure rings. The course uses metric measurements.

❗ Metal preparation tools include a rolling mill, calipers, a wooden mallet, marking tools, decorative punches, a jeweler's saw, files, abrasive paper and a silver stamp.

❗ For shaping and small components, you will need a dapping block and punches, a pin vise, drill bits, a round bur and suitable pliers, including setting pliers.

❗ Access to a suitable jewelry workshop is needed for annealing and silver soldering. The demonstration uses flux, Japanese No. 3, No. 5 and No. 7 silver solders, tonoko paste, and heat-resistant supports.

❗ Japanese solder grade numbers are retained in the English edition. They are not presented as direct equivalents to local hard, medium or easy solders. Confirm suitable materials with your supplier or workshop instructor.

❗ Finishing uses abrasive paper and sanding tools, felt and cloth buffs, polishing compounds, cotton thread and cleaning materials. Prepare tools and a workspace you can use safely before practicing.
