We took these old bangles, melted them down and made them into this classic, cushion-shaped signet ring!
This has got to be one of the coolest parts of my job, the sentimentality of taking something that was once loved but now unworn and transforming it into something else that will be loved, worn and passed down from generation to generation - it's a good feeling to be part of something so beautiful and meaningful!

oh man, it's so cool that you posted this! when i was first learning to make signet rings, there were so few videos on youtube that showed you how to make them by hand - most go via the cad or wax carving route, so this is going to be so useful for lots of people :D making a signet entirely by hand is SO satisfying and fun, and it's a super useful exercise as it teaches you how to plan ahead with the measurements, while still giving you creative freedom and room to make some changes in the process, and trains your eye for achieving symmetry. everybody should try making a signet by hand at least once - every single time i've seen people do it, they're absolutely stoked about the process and the result :D thank you for sharing this!

Using tape is a fantastic idea! I usually use a clear matte spray, which works well for engraving, but for things like this it will save a lot of time!

Glad you liked the idea. I keep trying new methods and it’s great to hear about the spray option too.

Always dig your videos 🔥💀🔥 Would love to see one where you set a gemstone intaglio in the top. Can’t find a video to learn how to make a real traditional gemstone signet

Very nicely done. I haven't made one yet but you've inspired me to put one on my "make this" bucket list. Keep up the great work and the wonderful video work too! Great music too.

Can you do the hammering of the ring to the 5:30 to 6:50 on silver as well, or just gold because its more soft then silver.

@jacothejeweller 3 ай бұрын

Absolutely. In fact silver is softer than gold and definitely platinum so it’ll form so much easier 👌🏻

Beautiful ring!! how much did it end up weighting??? Im getting one for myself!!

Great video and treasure man thank you so much 🤘 As someone else mentioned it is hard to find any how to videos on top notch signets. I am about to start using your video to make a US size 6 and another one size 8. I believe the 6 is very close to the size you made? Do you have any exact measurements for length to cut to before bending the bar into a ring shape for either size 6 or 8? I saw the equation you put on the screen but I’m a little slow 🤤Thanks OG!

Hi jaco I’m an apprentice jeweller from Australia I just found your channel your amazing, I’m not in the best situation jewellery wise as there isn’t anyone teaching me at the moment all our jewellers left so I’ve been teaching myself for about a year do you have any ideas on what I can do to up my hand make school(other than watch your channel haha)

Hey Griffin and welcome - KZfaq is an excellent teacher and I’d suggest following as many of us as possible. ‘DON’T PANIC’ as this episode suggests. I’m self taught all the way and it can be done. Good to have you onboard 💪🏻
