For our videos below, we will reference a link to that video on our web site and a link to the same video on You Tube. The link on our web site is in higher resolution and will take longer to download, but will also be clearer to view. The link to the same video on You Tube is in lower resolution and will therefore download faster, but may be slightly harder to view. We present both links so that you, the viewer, can select the one that works best for you. For the videos below, we will also provide a link to the text and still pictures description of that project. We believe that the best way to learn these jewelry making skills is to visit both the video on the project, and the text and still pictures on our web site.

Now for some comments by the producer. We at WigJig try to be perfect in everything that we do, but we also have to acknowledge that we are only human. As human beings we have skills in which we excel and some areas where we may not excel. In our humble opinion, we really excel at making jewelry with wire, beads and gemstones and we also excel at making tools that help in making jewelry by hand. We try very hard to present our techniques for making jewelry in both text and pictures and now we are adding videos. It would be fair to say that we are rather new at making videos and perhaps our videos aren't as professional as our WigJig tools. We have tried very hard to show extreme close-up shots of the steps involved in making jewelry by hand and for the most part we have succeeded, but in some cases, a viewer will find that the combination of our pictures and text from our web site combined with our videos will be necessary to fully understand the process we used in making the jewelry item shown. In fact, in all cases, the video should be seen as an adjunct to our text and still pictures. The combination of text, still pictures, and video is, we feel, the best way to learn these techniques.
