I start the work with a large square wire cut corners.

I anneal it to make it softer. I heat it with a blowtorch then cool it quickly with water.

The rolling mill, an essential tool for the jeweler's work. It is used to reduce the thickness of the material by crushing and elongating it.

I pass the thread between the rollers from largest to smallest.

The pulling bench allows me to use very little energy to pull my wire through a die which will round my wire by reducing its diameter and lengthening it.

And here my thread is elongated while decreasing in thickness.

It is the same principle as the rolling mill, but it allows you to choose the shape of the wire and work more precisely.

I cut the wire in two...

And after a few polishes...
