We are a manufacturing jewellery workshop, specializing in handmade jewellery. Over the years, we have seen our industry change drastically with the introduction of CAD. Around 95% of the next generation jewellers coming through, are not being taught the traditional handmade skills & techniques that were once a fundamental part in making handmade jewellery. We are providing these videos to educate anyone willing to invest the time to learn old and new techniques so these skills do not die.

Soldering setting to ring in platinum. *invisible soldering*

Soldering settings into solitaires without leaving evidence of a solder enter point, also no cleanup required around the setting after it's been soldered. Check out our Instagram for progress pictures posted every day. refraction_manufacturing
Is it possible to do it on an inside of a ring? I have a black diamond ring and inside is a layer of white gold.

Ok ok. Excuse my language but platinum is a bitch to melt! I finally succeeded in getting mines melted today, but I don’t think the ruthenium has fully alloyed with the entire ounce. Had I not watched your video last night, I would’ve been freaking out bout trying to get it out the crucible, but like you said, it contracted. I ended up with a little of the Wesgo crucible stuck onto the metal. Ima just file that off though or do like you did. I tried melting the platinum about a month ago and the shit wouldn’t melt for nothing. So, I’m happy to see that I atleast got it to melt today. You make it look so easy to melt. After I use these three ounces, I’m sooo done with platinum. I’ll stick with the easier to melt and pour gold.

Which alloy used to soldier platinum metal?
Thank you so much for this video. Any chance you can demonstrate cleaning and smelting platinum filings? 🫣🙏🏼🤗
Surfing TH-cam, seen your video, have comment: I have an idea for you, what about machining some adjustable vise jaws and using your vise to help form your work piece. I don't know how many times I lost my small work peice, after it fly's off my mandrill, working on small work peices like that. You find it later, but you might need it now. Just saying !
Ok
What will happen to the grinded powder of Platinum? It will be wasted of high value.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video.
Super
How many grams of products can be done rhodium from 100ml 2gm bottles
Hi love the video what is your crucible called I’ve tried searching online but it comes up with the cup type not the block type you’re using plus you mention not to use steel tweezers so what’s the ones that you used thanks. Hib
Which alloy are you using to weld Gold with platinum?
Hi! So…the loud popping noises that I just had when melting an I got…is that the air bubbles exploding?🤨
Shouldn't you use hydrogen / oxygen flame rather than hydrocarbon has?
is there a loss of platinum when you melt it?
Fuck yeah man...I want to grab a oz. I play Advanced Dungeons & Dragons obviously Platinum will always out value gold the market is manipulated.
I have three kg of platinum nuggets I am selling ..... communicate with me ... I wait
What fuel are you using for the torch?

Nice. I never worked in platinum, just gold and silver. My old shop started working in platinum casting long after I left.
th-cam.com/video/jzthc0vqSSY/w-d-xo.html Is it platinum ore?
Thanks for sharing
With the round collet plates. 28deg vs 32deg, is it worth buying both?
You got my sub
What are we looking at?
What material is the heat "mat" you work on top? It looks much more durable than solderite or vermiculite. Thank you for a solid video!
Nice video. Will be using a graphite cap from now on. If you tip your steel firetongs with platinum, you won't contaminate your melts. A bigger torch is recommended. Once melted a platinum ingot with a Smith's torch. The torch got so hot it melted the solder and blew the copper tip into the platinum..... wasn't a good day.

Quantos graus derrete a platina
Can you tell me, how to make this solder? what l need to added to pure platinum to make solder?
Mate its best to buy your solder from your metal supplier.
@@refraction_manufacturing6193 l know that, but l live in Ukraine, and cant find it in any internet shop
@@refraction_manufacturing6193 yeah here in mexico we don't have that kind pf shops , can u please tell us how to do it?
Hello! Many thanks for the video. I have exactly the same equipment and somehow I haven't managed to melt any quantity of platinum. Using a very similar surface as you. I thinks it might have to do with the potential I have set my gas and oxygen with. Do you think that might be the case?
Tip size is a must! Size 7 tip or the larger melting tip and hitting it full blast. If you haven't done it before you have to blast it with all the smith torch has but it will melt. Side not before you start clean your melting station so nothing can light up and if you are worried pull out. When your not confident that's when mistakes happen.
Just watched your video and did my first platinum melt. Haven't made anything with it yet but I was able to roll out to 0.8mm sheet and it looks very healthy. Many thanks for sharing.
Great thanks for the feedback mate!

Hi
Considering the price of rhodium right now, what does it cost for a liter of that solution?
Rhodium is up and down like a yoyo at the moment but last time I checked a 2 gram solution was around $1700 AUD
Do you know anything about platinum recycle. com ? because I sent them my findings and they wouldn't offer me anything? I did all test's myself and it passed to be platinum. Hydrogen peroxide test passed, acid test passed, heat test passed. and It is also non magnetic material. The only they told me was they didn't know what it is and couldn't determine to value it. So I asked her if she could at least tell me what metal it was and all she said was they assumed it was just some type of natural formed metal rocks? lol have you ever heard of such a thing?
Hey Jimmy, no never heard of them. Best to have it tested by the person who is going to buy it and have the deal locked in on the day.
Isn't all metal found in rocks. Besides aluminum which what we have is mostly man-made via electrolysis from bauxite.
What torch do you use ?
Just a little smith tourch mate
@@refraction_manufacturing6193 hey, actually I was trying something similar with copper and kitchen torch with butane. Could make the metal flow. Do you know the difference between Smith torch and the kitchen torch or what I could be doing wrong ?
@@swaroopcool22 kitchen touch for cooking will a much softer and lower temperate flame. If your working with platinum I highly recommend updating your melting torch 👌
Good video, but the subtitles said to have food in Okeechobee when you said to have good melting goggles. 2:34
Haha thanks for the feedback mate, I'll have to look into that.
Hey Jake great video Trust you charge the claw replacement to rebuild as you are doing the same job. Only Better no solder. Lasers are a TOOL but we still need to be recompensed for our skill. Had mine 10+ years and would not be with out it. John
Yeah mate reclaw and reset. I price according to the job and after outlaying so much for the laser, time taken becomes irrelevant.
Genial el vídeo! Jamás imaginé que se podría fundir platino con el Little Torch. Que aleación de platino utilizas en este caso. Saludos desde Chile.
What kind of gas is recommended for working with platinum?
We are just using LPG but Acetylene is great.
What torch are you using methane, propane? Small torch can melt the platium?
Smith torch with LPG

What torch did you use? Smith’s Little torch?
Yes just a smith torch
Hello, how much bari pressure I need to set up on oxy regulator to obtain necessary degrees for platinum melting? I use propane and oxy and a smith torch with oxy head. Thanks!
35ish psi or just under 200 kpa is what we have ours set to.
Hello, I want to fuse or solder a 24k piece of platinum to another 24k piece. Someone told me that can't be done. What do you think?
it can be done with a great deal of care, if you make both pieces thicker than you need them to finish you will have room to clean up the fuse join.
