Video Description:
In this video I decided to make a ring like I've never done before. I used a laser engraver to outline the shank and gallery rails. The ring was then cut out of 18K gold, and and the soldered together. The claw prongs were then soldered to the gallery rails and the 3.07 carat lab-grown diamond was then set into the ring.

If you are interested in making jewelry, but you don't know where to begin, I made a course! www.benchclass.com/jumpstart-for-jewelers Also, it felt really good to make a relaxing video this time. Enjoy :)

WOW! 24k content that I'm here for! Such an incredible process that mixes modern technology with old-world craftsmanship to create such a beautiful ring. You really ARE a Modern Goldsmith!!!!

Sometimes, when I watch videos like this, I regret that I've didn't change course to goldsmithing, while I was at school 18 years ago. I feel like I would have so much more fun working like this :3

then you are only 40 years old, take some courses or something :) maybe swing by a local goldsmith, and talk to them about it.

Not trying to promote too much, but I do have a course for people wanting to get into this trade, even as a hobby! See the pinned comment.

I really love watching all the different techniques of making a ring. With this ring and other small things made out of page stock do you need to worry about internal stresses in the metal while working on it? Does the affect whether you choose to cast or make something out of flat stock?

Therre was a LOT my father didn't teach me before he died. How do you manage to keep pieces in place during soldering? As soon as the flame hits the borax, things always move?

@moderngoldsmith Ай бұрын

It's tricky for sure. The gallery rails are fitted to be held in with a very small amount of tension. Repositioning is sometimes needed after the coating. The prongs were done being placed by hand, but carving notches into the gallery rails helps guide where they should go

@spustatu Ай бұрын

So, I've also seen many videos of you making rings out of... I'm pretty sure you've used a specific term for them, but I can't remember it. Bars? Little bars of metal that you roll and bend and shape into a ring. Why was this ring not made that way? It seems like bending a bar would save on potentially lost material from cutting that plate with a saw. Just wondering! Thanks for the great videos!

@moderngoldsmith Ай бұрын

That is the traditional way to make a shank, out of ingots (the bars you mentioned) I got a laser recently, so I thought it would be fun to try something entirely new. I first designed the shank in CAD, then laser marked the shape on a 2mm thick sheet of gold. I'm not sure that this method "loses" anymore material because 99%+ of the material is recaptured, regardless of which method I use. Thanks for watching and the great comment.
