Update 2/17
Thank you to everyone who has commented and enjoyed this video! I am currently only working for fun. My shop is closed, but I am actively setting up a workshop so that I can get back in the game! I moved back to Alaska, and am currently living in my tiny cabin in the woods trying to help the people in my village bring back the Haida language and traditional harvesting. Thank you, and I wish you great luck in whatever path makes you happy. Damaan agang hl kingang! (Take good care of yourself!)

I have been solding a few years now and I have gotten to the goal of making tube settings. I have found this operation to be very hard. I have dropped more stones and more parts than ever before! Ty for this video.

I am not into jewelry making and only saw your video when I was searching for videos on how to solder, but I have to say, this looked really cool and I never realized the amount of work that actually goes into making a ring. Thanks a bunch.

The solder wouldn't jump as much if you heated it with the flux...the flame heats the flux which will hold the solder in place. Have tweezers nearby though because there is always the risk of them popping :)
@rockosjewelry
@rockosjewelry 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I have found that with the super tiny pieces, I prefer to let it jump around and bother re-placing it after the flux has hardened. Others should definitely play around and see what works best for them. For me, I can see more exactly where the solder will sit this way. It helps me keep from having an accidental bit of solder get on the silver, which bugs the heck out of me.

that is a big torch, after your done with the jewelry you can go sweat some pipe..... buy a jewelers torch, oxy/accet or oxy/propane (what i use) and life will be much simpler...... I only worked with silver once and mostly done gold or platinum, with the gold you just ball up the solder with heat and use a pick to pick it up and place it where you like, done prong re tipping with flat solder and flat gold stock.....simple keep up the good work

How would you reattach a sterling silver band on the side of a bezel that already has a stone on it? one of my citrine rings broke off where the band attaches to the bezel around the stone and I'm worried about trying to re-solder it and damage the stone
@tammygurl64
@tammygurl64 3 жыл бұрын
Hi. Let me start by saying I'm inexperienced but have been learning about gemstones and soldering, etc. this past year. According to the extensive gemstone list in the link below, Citrine cannot be torch fired. studylib.net/doc/8154687/gemstone-firing-guide I have seen videoes where people submerged a gemstone in water while soldering a ring but can't remember what type of stone it was. If your ring is very sentimental it might be a good idea to remove it from the bezel before repairing. It's definitely safer for your stone. Sorry, I don't have any video links but you should be able to find some videos here about stone removal and even videos where the stone is submerged in water. Not sure this was helpful but good luck to ya' just the same! 🍀🙂

Where are you located, I need to visit your shop to fix up my little Goldy ring but with some "diamond", which has weak holding "leg" jamming the stone into the ring base. Are you close to Florida State?! When I lived in New Jersey in 2017, I got lost golden cross, of my step father, and the Diamond Mine jewelry store asked me to leave the cross with them because they never fixing in the store but sending some place else... Eventually, I lost it from my wallet in Florida State in last year 2018... The good news and the bad ones. The good is the CROSS cannot be used from the other people's, because it is destiny of the baptized person with all his sores... But, the bad new that the even cheap gold is the dollars cost - got lost because it's hole got apart from the cross; the cross was made by self crafted way and had not too symmetric form.. It looks like "Social Services" confiscated it from me with all my destinies of my passed away step-father in 2015.

Wondering if, for such tiny components, if silver tubing could be cut to size instead of wire you have to solder?
@rockosjewelry
@rockosjewelry 7 жыл бұрын
Absolutely. It would probably be a lot easier. I like to work with limited supplies and do it the hard way. But yes, you could definitely fabricate a setting with two sizes of silver tubing, or with heavy wall tubing and a stone setting bur that drills a seat down into the metal.

Hi, I don't make necklaces very often, but when I do, I tend to handmake the findings and solder the jump rings so they don't open. I would imagine you may also be able to find small rings that double around like a keychain does, or something like that.

This was the only tutorial video I made when I was selling jewelry full-time, and I'd like to have better quality videos out there so it doesn't have to be harder than it looks! When I first started, I had just been laid off from a good job, and it was so hard to find the info I needed to get going on my own with $100 budget for tools and no experience. If you have any feedback for how to make things more helpful, I'm interested!

+Gordon Burns In the US, the "l" is quite properly not pronounced. English is an odd language; you simply cannot generalize pronunciations from one word to another this way, especially from one country to another. However you do it elsewhere doesn't make it the One True Way. No need to make fun of someone who is saying it absolutely correctly just because you are uneducated about the oddities of our language - and dialectical variations.

Or maybe have a TALK or WALK with some FOLKS that might tell you to CALM down and put some SALVE or BALM on your chapped PALM and take your CALF for a WALK and stretch it out. Have a coffee with some HALF & HALF, even an ALMOND or some SALMON and think of our great president LINCOLN and just enjoy this great video. And if all else fails, go to google and a computer pronounce it for you. sol·der ˈsädər/ noun 1. a low-melting alloy, especially one based on lead and tin or (for higher temperatures) on brass or silver, used for joining less fusible metals.
