Some extras if interested, from a fellow goldsmith : If you use less solder, you wouldn't even need to file it away afterwards, saving both money, time and strain. Also if you do have excess solder, file it away before shaping, it will alter the shape of the ring. It might feel safer to use more solder, but you used perhaps 3x more than this ring needed! Also when you use your finger to push that bezel down on the file, be aware that you will push more on one side than the other, so it is good to change way a couple of times so that it remains straight, or push with two fingers from above so it files straight. Punch hole a little closer to your edge, ofc not too close, but you could easily have gotten away with a mm distance here. When soldering a bezel to a plate, it will require less heat, time and strain on the solder if you cut it into smaller pieces and lay it evenly around the wall instead of one big piece; the heat can make it overheat and create bubbles when so large. It looks more elegant and feels more stable with a ring where the bezel is soldered between the band, not on top. Very good to use as much hard solder as possible! Thank you for sharing, and the inspiration!

Love these, especially the open bezel. Love the colours in opals. I must work out my ring size and save up for one of these beautiful simple rings. I watch for moonstone and Alexandrite too as those are my birthstones! I watch for a very simple bezel with moonstone and Alexandrite, but would be good with Opal as well - hubby doesn’t like Pearl s he grew up with the old adage that pearls are bad luck. These are gorgeous and I love watching the process. I’d love to try this, Hubby had to get his wedding ring cut off and didn’t want a replacement, one day I’d love to make something from the metal of his ring. 😊😊😊

That's so sweet, thank you so much, love! :) I appreciate it a lot. Oh yeah, I heard that about the pearls, that some believe they're bad luck. Well, considering they come from a living organism, one can argue that we're not suppose to harvest them. I can see the point here. Moonstone and alexandrite are gorgeous! I'm on the lookout for some lovely and flashy moonstones to make open rings like these opal ones. Hopefully I'll be able to buy some soon :) And yes, I['m sure one day you'll be able to make your own ring bands! It really isn't that difficult and I;m sure you'd enjoy it a lot. Even if you don't plan on buying your own tools, you can always check if there are any workshops run by jeweller's or makers in your area, or "ring in a day" workshops, these are great :)

How are you able to use hard solder paste when joining the bezel to the rings, without the joins you just did coming undone? Does paste have a slightly lower melting temp than hard wire solder?

Hiya lady Stardust< This is a fantastic video; thank you for making it and for showing two versions of the process. I love this new style and format; it suits you. Your blush when you showed the hidden gem??? Perfection. It seems I'm not alone in loving this film; your work has gone up several levels with this change. When I was lighting, especially on The Clothes Show, my signature was several slashes of coloured light shining up the wall in the back of the shot. I used the two colours you are using, plus turquoise and sometimes purple. They are still my favourite colours, just now with gems. Great choice of gems; that flash of blue when you were setting the bezel was... Do you use a bezel rocker? I love it for smoothing down after the initial closing. I must start using the hammer handpiece with the rocker tip. That ability to push and smooth the metal at the same time is wonderful. Stay safe, Steve xx

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Жыл бұрын

I'm very happy you're enjoying the videos, Steve! I will switch to smaller and daintier jewellery now (in tutorials), I think it may be more interesting for people and I also want to explore these designs more. In this video I experimented with the light, at first I was using colorful lights and then I only used one warm white lamp. I noticed it's better when it comes to close-ups and details, so I might keep doing this moving forward. Ahh, working on sets with lights must've been very interesting! So much experience and fun memories, too. I love these colours too 🥰 Have a great evening Steve, thank you for watching and your kind comment 🙏

I remember thinking a few days ago I should start making my own rings, but after watching a few video’s and this one I’ll just stick to buying them instead. This is a science, it’s a work of art, and a gift to be able to learn all of this and make a business out of it, something I wasn’t even considering doing. I respect this art and will never feel the slightest regret again when spending a lot of money on a ring. I’m getting into gemstone rings made with quality because as awesome as SHEIN and Temu jewelry are they don’t last but a few wears and I got so sick of my rings just snapping out in public, let’s just say, adjustable zinc alloy rings with ADHD are not a great combination apparently. But when I went to a Celtic festival with a friend and bought some sterling silver rings I swore I’d never go back to cheap jewelry ever again. It may cost more, but it lasts longer.

Basia, in one of your videos. Saw you measure the length needed for your bezel using a paper tape. What was that?

Hi, is there a supply list for this video? Thanks and sorry I'm very new...and I thank you for this video. This is exactly what I want to make, and I have a bunch of supplies, but everyone tells you something different it seems. I just want to make exactly this lol

Lovely video as per usual ✨ What were the attachments you used at the end to clean up the bezel?

Thank you 💜 I used 3M and Dedeco bristle attachments, I showed them in the video, which colours I used and in what order :) Edit: oh, and the Eve pumice wheels, honey and grey

Do you use hard wire or half hard wire to make these ring bands?

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing, they are so typical of your work. I loved watching you make these, so now, with yet another visit to the coffee machine, I'm off to my bench. More Argentium to fuse together. Let's see how much I can melt tonight, shall we? Sorry about the pic a few hours ago; that is all my computer would let me do. Wonderful build and video; thank you for sharing with us all. Stay safe, Steve xx
