Making A Coin Bezel: A Silversmithing Tutorial

Рет қаралды 7,988

Күн бұрын

This video tutorial shows how to build a bezel for any coin. This project is appropriate for an middle level beginner. This type of setting allows you to wear a coin without damaging it. The material I used were: 14 gauge sterling square wire, 22 gauge sterling round wire, 26 gauge sterling sheet, and 3/16 inch fine silver bezel. I'm trying to get better closeup shots. Let me know if this is an improvement over previous videos. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful?

That was a very interesting tutorial. I have two small coins that I would like to make into a pair of earrings so am very grateful for your tutorials thank you. 😊

A simple larger ring mandrel is to buy an aluminum baseball bat at a local good will store and saw it in half. One end makes a great ring mandrel. The other end works as a bracelet mandrel

I don't collect coins so much anymore (although, I'll certainly never pass up an interesting looking coin!) but I too have always been bothered and very dismayed when I've seen a coin pendant with a hole drilled through it. Like, it's your coin so do what you want with it I guess, but it always seemed odd to me that someone would essentially destroy something they'd like to wear/display. Anyway, fantastic video and having a closer angle really helps with following the details. Thank you so much for all the time you take to share your knowledge with the world!

Hi Chad, the camera angle was great. Yep, we missed seeing top of your head :). Thank you for the video, I also realized that pennies, in Canada are made of real copper only till 1997, so I learned .... watch the date if I am going to solder.

If you need a mandrel bigger than a ring mandrel and smaller than a bracelet mandrel, they make EARRING mandrels

That’s a good thought Pippin! I actually made a mid size hardwood mandrel on my lathe that works pretty well:)

Hi Chad love this example as I'm trying to find a good way to bezel a double cabbed (front and back) stone for a pendant, could you offer an example. Love your tutorials keep them coming. Cheers

@chadssilversmithing Жыл бұрын

You might try a thinner gauge of wire for the ledge inside the bezel for something with a domed back so it sticks out the back a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion Glowtron8:). I’ve never actually tried a traditional locket, but was considering doing that to see if I could come up with a good design. As far as a concealing locket for a coin, I will think about some ideas for that. It may be a while before I try that one though:)
