I do sterling silver wire wrapping in a few of my pieces & use these scissors to cut the wire: https://www.amazon.com/Joyce-Chen-51-0220-Unlimited-Scissor/dp/B0000CFLH7

These will work well on 22ga & 24ga silver, gold & plated, and though I have 3 pairs (for use in different areas of my studio), they all still work really well after 10 years of use. If you purchased a long chain of pre-made, just use these scissors to cut through a link and add your jump.

(Example of my wire wrapping so you can see how awesome these scissors are at making clean cuts: https://www.etsy.com/listing/578151951/amethyst-sterling-silver-scroll-earrings )

As well, you can make a loop at the end, make a 90 degree turn, and neatly make loops around the the two cords together (so the loop is at the end) and then crimp your own wire. This way you can make your own colors, and make it as long or short as you need, and add another loop if you want to add another bead.

Wright's Copper Cream works wonders. Rub it onto the copper and let it sit for a little while (5 min or so) and then rub it off under running water. I'm not sure this will remove sticky tape residue, but it will give a nice polish, so this could be a final step after following /u/fashionforward's advice.

If shes not into beaded jewelry kinda thing maybe try something like this? its a basic kit for necklaces and earings not limited to beads. She could try wire wraping stones or even just shopping for loose pendants and chains. I hope this helps.

It might have been this one . It’s been a while. Haha

Reference books are always handy, though!

You could always get her a Dremel work station like this one. Then a pair of soft jaw pliers. Why soft jaw pliers? Well it gets her hand away from the cutting/drilling edge, important if she is working with small stones. And the soft jaw wont mar the stones. In addition to that gripping small things when you have arthritis can aggravate the condition, with the pliers it will take longer for her hands to become fatigued.

this is the flux I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQPX8W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s05?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was trying to solder fine silver bezel wire so I could set a stone, there wasn't any light coming through,
and I was soldering on a charcoal block.
So definitely not big stuff. And no matter what I tried, the solder wouldn't flow.
I bough solder from two different people off amazon and tried the whole range, easy through hard. Nothing.

Etruscan Granulation is probably a good place to start. Oppi Untracht's books on jewelry making have chapters on granulation that go into the technical details.

Sorry that came across so dickish. ZBrush is used for a lot of jewelry. There's also ZBrush core. You can get a refurb wacom tablet and ZB Core for like $160 off amazon.

Just a quick amazon search: torch. You want the butane refillable ones. Even the cheap ones will work but don't get the tiny cigarette ones. Harbor Freight (if available in your area) has a cheap one that's around $10.

If you want it to look simiar to this... https://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Gold-Diamond-Cut-Earrings-Shepherds/dp/B002E9IQHY

Close the loop on the left. Open the loop at the bottom of an earring hook. Place both loops from the earring in the hook loop. Close hook loop.

It's a ring to close jump rings.

edit to add: It's this thing https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0053SHODK/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_Nq7ODbEF7F6DN

I believe it's a slide bail or tube bail. Amazon link

I already wear glasses, so I use something like this.
