GomeowCreations thank you for this inspiring video! I am curious - is this manmade opal? All opal I have seen so far is translucent with various sparkles.
@@GomeowCreations Can other stones be crushed and used in this fashion? I have lots of agate, picture jasper, (less expensive!); if I can crush a stone can I use it in this process you demonstrate here? I don't know if the glue would damage the stones or their coloring...
Finally! A true "how to" video, and none other than how to create a channel ring inlay! Thank goodness I watched this...and I will be over and over. You have a very good mind and soul, for showing the entire process, also not too fast, not skipping steps, and speaking in terms that all can understand. I'ma new subscriber, and I can't wait to see what else you have on video. T.H.A.N.K.Y.O.U.
Such a BEAUTIFUL ring. A lot of work but worth it in the end. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Opal is not only my birthstone but it is my favorite. Love the video .... it is like we are right there and you are instructing us how to do this.
This is how a video needs to look like. Very well made. I have made 2 rings like this. One with crushed turquoise stones and one with some other stones, don´t remember there names. I used superglue because i didn´t know about the resin at that time. Now i own a Photon printer so i know what resin is. I wish i own a small lathe like yours. I had to file my rings with hand. Good job.
Sweetheart, that's truly beautiful. I don't even like opal for the mohs factor and they fade. But you fixed BOTH those things. This is a beautiful ring but more, it's a great project!
@@GomeowCreations I guess most people start with a small basic table and a few tools and then it just naturally evolves. But really.. hats off to you. Please keep these projects and videos coming, it's very informative and inspiring!
@@tealdreams If you aren't doing metal work and would like to, may I say - just jump in! I began with the bare minimum in a corner of the basement with a working window, and used a small torch similar to one used in cooking- you can make great things with minimal tools at a small table in a room with ventillation - that's the only restriction - the fumes from soldering require ventillation. Now, 6 years into it I've got a great set up that allows for more creativity and ability to work with a greater variety of materials - but I almost never started because I thought I needed a designated work area and a ton of tools (the Beaducation channel on youtube shows how to get started making great pieces with minimal tools and space). I encourage anyone who is fascinated by metal work to give this a try. Wire cutters, hammer, pliers, a small torch, and sand paper - I think thats all I had in the beginning and it was enough to keep me busy the first year. Best wishes to anyone who's thinking about taking up this craft! Thank you GomecowCreations for an excellent video!
Sheri Lynn Thank you so very much for this comment! Perfect timing as well! My New Year’s resolution is to just “jump in”. Have a wonderful, successful, prosperous 2020 everyone!
6:17 How interesting! About a year ago I bought multiple tools for jewelry making because I had already made jewelry but not rings. Although I’m not going to start making any right now (because I have a couple of other projects to finish), I feel I could do it thanks to your video(s).
Yeah, ring making like this isn't that hard and you can even do it without using a lathe th-cam.com/video/k2JKO5Pgjwg/w-d-xo.html If you have any questions feel free to ask. 😁👍
Haha thanks, I like building the design of the only. You can see it a little better in this video, it's to the point that it looks almost like one stone th-cam.com/video/k2JKO5Pgjwg/w-d-xo.html
After i finish sanding mine i like to put ca glue on top wait that dry complety et redo a quick sending and polishing and it work realy great the opal get shinny
Great vid, thank you! I’ve been using resin in my jewellery for a long time, but haven’t yet done inlay on a ring. You make it look so easy! Although I’m sure the lathe saved you a lot of time... I would love one! Must get me some crushed opal, it’s stunning!
GomeowCreations I tend to made pendants with crushed pyrite, selenite, flowers and other natural items I can find foraging. That’s how I started making jewellery, but now I’m using my metal smithing skills combined and making the bezels etc., so combining the two is great fun. However, I always use super clear slow curing resin, I haven’t tried the UV stuff yet. I have a UV curing lamp that I used to use for my nails(!) do you think that would be strong enough to cure it in order to file it?
Awesome, thank you for your tips I’ll definitely be taking note, one thing I love about making jewellery or two things lol, soldering and the final polish. 👌
I love your work, you have really inspired me & will try to share whatever I hopefully come up with on social media if it's any good & worth the critical feedback as the bespoke items you create are astonishing! 💜
First let me thank you for all your amazing and informative videos. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed and learned from them. If I may ask a couple of questions: 1) I'm considering purchasing a lathe and I'm curious if you have a recommendations for a mini budget lathe. 2) May I ask are there any advantages over UV Resin vs. CA?
Hello, your videos have really been helpful to me on my journey. I'm wondering if you can tell me what gauge your sheet of silver is in this video, as well as the square wire. Thanks
Hey! Thank you for your videos! Could you explain me in more detail, what you did in 34:03-34:06. At first the ring is dim, and in the next frame it shines. Did you polish it before adding resin? I‘m trying to make the same ring (with amethyst) for my gf and i‘m stuck here. My ring looks really lacklustre...I’ll be very grateful for the answer!
Check out this video it might help with the polishing problem th-cam.com/video/mZI1F9Hy3Xo/w-d-xo.html But you really shouldn't use amethyst, it a very hard stones so cutting it down will take you a very long time and it might not look as good you you might think in small chips so you would have to use big chunks and that would make it even harder to cut down.
Tbh, when I started making the ring, I didn't even think about the fact that amethyst is a hard stone. Well, we have what we have x) I love your videos very much! Good luck with your next projects and thank you!
I didn’t see a reference to the UV light strips you use in the video. I checked out your tools list link as well and didn’t see it there. Any chance you can share that please? Sorry if it’s there and I missed it. Thanks.
My comment. When you have used the sheet of silver to do the ring shape, was it possible to use the sheet twice as tick,and then you use the machine,to do the gap in the middle, to save from doing an other two tin tinges ,and then soldiering on to the big one.?
Yeah you could do that but it would need to be about 3x the thickness of silver and cutting that down with the lathe would cut our a good amount of silver. You would then have to clean all the silver chips up and melt them down to use them again or recycle it.
Just buying materials to have a go at this for the first time. Questions: 1. Regarding your maths. Why multiply by 3.14? 2. What's the solution your using to clean the ring.? 3. Where can you buy the silver sheets and wire?
Hello there ! Just wanted to ask if you have any tips to deal with bubbles when doing an inlay ring using UV resin ?? I like to keep a bit of transparent layer of resin above the materials but they almost alway get bubbles in them and when sanding down the excess i just get ugly holes filled with powder from the sanding process. Thanks in advance !!
What is the pickling solution you keep on talking about I will be a beginner I would really like to know thank you I’m very interested you’re awesome you make some awesome jewelry
Since you have a lathe, would it be easier (less soldering and sanding) to carve out a center channel from a thicker band, then back-fill it with the glitter and resin of your choice?
Yeah you can do that but your will have to make or find some 2mm sheets of silver to do this and you going to want to collect the silver metal chips to melt back down into more workable silver.
How long would the resin hold going through everyday activities, cleaning, hand washing, etc.? And would it be easy to repair if there was any damage overtime?
I've been watching some of your videos. I really like how you show with the larger tools as well as just by hand. I did have a question though, can you, and would it be easier to, heat the material ie ring a little first then put the flux on then the solder? I've done other metal works in the past but not sure if you can with jewelery.
Thank you and resin vs CA.... Guess if I had to point out one thing is that I can polish CA easier and UV resin can be cured with light really fast so you don't have to deal with different chemicals. Round vs square wire, square works best for this because it lays flat on the inner band and makes it easier to solder it all with no lines or holes
You mentioned you used some of the glow powder along with the crushed opal, but you didn't specify which color you chose. Could you please let us know which color you decided to go with and why? Thanks!
When I make rings like this I try to pack in as much of the stone and metal as I can so it is all just held together by the resin or glue. They seem the last a long time and I have not no complaints so far. 😁
Wow how beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing great tutorial. I have question about what kind of the machine I need to attaching a mandrel ( red color machine you used or any kind of machine could you suggest me please?)
Hey, so that is called a lathe and here is a link to the setup that I use www.amazon.com/shop/gomeowcreations?listId=2R4TNA7WYWF9P that being said that it is kinda expensive to get started with. You can make a ring like this without a lathe and I have 3 videos about it and I will link them here. th-cam.com/video/k2JKO5Pgjwg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/jhpKZFrXw78/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mZI1F9Hy3Xo/w-d-xo.html
Hello, the ring looks great. You said you deliberately didn't use a super glue, why did you decide against it? Could it also be that the resin looks a little cloudy? Or is that deceptive? Many greetings from Germany
Thank you and I used it to show that you don't have to only use CA glue. I have made a ring that just had the UV resin in it with nothing else and it was crystal clear with no fog. 😁👍 It's just another way to do it really and it might be easier for some people.
Yes they can but some don't. You can test UV resin with a small piece of it in the sun for a couple days and if it starts to yellow or anything then you'll know it's going to yellow over time. This particular ring is kind of old now and I also did a test on it leaving it in the sun and inside of water for like a week straight and currently as I type this it is in the ground for another test and it's been there for about 4 months. 😅
Hello and thanks for all of your wonderful videos. I was wondering if you would know if I could use a Foredom bench lathe with the same attachment that you used on your lathe? I really don’t want to buy one more expensive tool, but I have arthritis in my hands and doing this by hand (I watched the other videos already!) would be troublesome for me. Thanks!
May I ask how much you had to invest in the materials just for the ring and if you sold it what kind of profit did you get? Last question how many hours did it take you to create your beautiful ring?
It might be just me, but after you polished the UV Resin and opals, there were places it seemed like it was a slight milky color over the opals. Was it the lighting or is it not crystal clear?
No problem 😊👍. I have just use the same resin to fill in a ring to protect the design that's inside of its and after its polished you can't even tell that there is a resin in there because I have clear it is.
Ahhhhh I see! I was watching with an 11 month old friend so I missed some of the audio around that part. I thought you used the lathe on the first coat. Again my 11 month old friend distracted me 😂. Thank you for your reply. I enjoy your videos and am looking forward to seeing more. I’m just starting out and trying to get the tools I need to get as good as you are, if that’s possible! Thanks for the links and tool producer names you share. I’m stocking up on used tools now. But some day!
Can you please tell me more about your lathe? Is this an actual jewelers lathe that you can buy or is it a modified wood lathe that you just need to buy a chuck for? What is the brand of your lathe and how much did it cost you? Thank you.
Thank you for such a great video! Is there any way of manually smoothing the ring after the stones have set for example filing? I don’t have the machinery you use x
How much would you charge to make me one. That came out beautifully I use uv resin all the time. But can’t make rings. No garage or extra room for laith or fire lol

I am curious - is this manmade opal? All opal I have seen so far is translucent with various sparkles.
** nevermind - I just saw that it is synthetic:)
Can the UV resin be sealed with a top coat (like UV nail gel) in order to make the resin more shiny?
I'm sure it can be used but a most people don't 😁
@@GomeowCreations Can other stones be crushed and used in this fashion? I have lots of agate, picture jasper, (less expensive!); if I can crush a stone can I use it in this process you demonstrate here? I don't know if the glue would damage the stones or their coloring...

My birthstone. 🥰How I wish to have this on my birthday. 🥺
SO YOU ARE THE ILLUSIVE LORD OF THE RINGS... GOOD TO KNOW.
😅
@GomeowCreations what is the machine you used to spin and sand the ring???
It's a mini lathe. If you are in the USA I can send you a link to them
Hello, your videos have really been helpful to me on my journey. I'm wondering if you can tell me what gauge your sheet of silver is in this video, as well as the square wire. Thanks
I think I used 22g sheet and 16g square wire but I do know that the sheet metal is 0.6mm and the wire is 1.3mm 😅👍
GomeowCreations Thanks so much!

Just buying materials to have a go at this for the first time.
Questions:
1. Regarding your maths. Why multiply by 3.14?
2. What's the solution your using to clean the ring.?
3. Where can you buy the silver sheets and wire?
How do you get the sandpaper to stick to the paint stick?
Magic? lol but really I just used a staple lower down on the paper and made sure not to have that part contact the ring when working with it.
Beautifully done!!
Thank you 😁👍
Nice ring, enjoyed your video keep them coming 👍
Thank and will do. 😁
Well done !
Simple and good looking.
Keep it up . 👍😊
Thank you 😁
What a great piece, thanks for showing!

Can you explain to me the "pickling Solution" and how long the pieces soak?
th-cam.com/video/1mPAXsKXb1Q/w-d-xo.html this video will help
Great video, would using smaller pieces of opal would help eliminate the larger voids where there is just resin?
Yes it would.
Nice and informing video; thanks. What lathe do you use in this video?
What gage silver did you use for the band? I don't know what to order and I'm ADHD AF. .6mm thickness but nothing is telling me what gauge 🥺
Hay cool. So I’m trying to make an Inly epoxy Resin ring how would you do that?
Very nice work!
Thank you 😎👍
Is CA better than UV for glowpowder, opal inlays?
It doesn't really seem to matter
Truly fascinating.
How long would the resin hold going through everyday activities, cleaning, hand washing, etc.? And would it be easy to repair if there was any damage overtime?
I've been watching some of your videos. I really like how you show with the larger tools as well as just by hand. I did have a question though, can you, and would it be easier to, heat the material ie ring a little first then put the flux on then the solder? I've done other metal works in the past but not sure if you can with jewelery.
Yeah that will work as well. 😁👍
what type of gold flake would work best to do an inlay like this?
came here to see how you worked resin into a circular object was not disappointed.
😁
Nice video, and I may have missed this, What is the benefit of the Resin vs CA glue? Benefits of square wire vs round wire?
Thank you and resin vs CA.... Guess if I had to point out one thing is that I can polish CA easier and UV resin can be cured with light really fast so you don't have to deal with different chemicals.
Round vs square wire, square works best for this because it lays flat on the inner band and makes it easier to solder it all with no lines or holes
Will thin gauge steel or tin work?
no
You mentioned you used some of the glow powder along with the crushed opal, but you didn't specify which color you chose. Could you please let us know which color you decided to go with and why? Thanks!
I think it was a blue
i wonder how durable and long lasting is this material? great video
When I make rings like this I try to pack in as much of the stone and metal as I can so it is all just held together by the resin or glue. They seem the last a long time and I have not no complaints so far. 😁
@@GomeowCreations excellent! thanks for your reply:)
Love your videos
Well thank you very much 😊
OH my love this ring. :) hay you should make a wood inlay ring like this using UV resin. also love all your ring videos :)
Thanks and that is a good idea 😁👍
Hay! Sweet can't wait to see it ! Neat thanks hugs 🙌🙆
Wow how beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing great tutorial.
I have question about what kind of the machine I need to attaching a mandrel ( red color machine you used or any kind of machine could you suggest me please?)
Hey, so that is called a lathe and here is a link to the setup that I use www.amazon.com/shop/gomeowcreations?listId=2R4TNA7WYWF9P that being said that it is kinda expensive to get started with. You can make a ring like this without a lathe and I have 3 videos about it and I will link them here.

Hello, the ring looks great. You said you deliberately didn't use a super glue, why did you decide against it? Could it also be that the resin looks a little cloudy? Or is that deceptive? Many greetings from Germany
Thank you and I used it to show that you don't have to only use CA glue. I have made a ring that just had the UV resin in it with nothing else and it was crystal clear with no fog. 😁👍 It's just another way to do it really and it might be easier for some people.
Hi, I have heard that uv resins yellow over time, have you had this issue?
Yes they can but some don't. You can test UV resin with a small piece of it in the sun for a couple days and if it starts to yellow or anything then you'll know it's going to yellow over time. This particular ring is kind of old now and I also did a test on it leaving it in the sun and inside of water for like a week straight and currently as I type this it is in the ground for another test and it's been there for about 4 months. 😅
Hello and thanks for all of your wonderful videos. I was wondering if you would know if I could use a Foredom bench lathe with the same attachment that you used on your lathe? I really don’t want to buy one more expensive tool, but I have arthritis in my hands and doing this by hand (I watched the other videos already!) would be troublesome for me. Thanks!
May I ask how much you had to invest in the materials just for the ring and if you sold it what kind of profit did you get?
Last question how many hours did it take you to create your beautiful ring?
It might be just me, but after you polished the UV Resin and opals, there were places it seemed like it was a slight milky color over the opals. Was it the lighting or is it not crystal clear?
So sadly it is crystal clear, the "white" spots that you're seeing are actually the silver back plate where I missed some areas with the stone 😅
@@GomeowCreations ok, thank you so much for your fast reply!
No problem 😊👍.
I have just use the same resin to fill in a ring to protect the design that's inside of its and after its polished you can't even tell that there is a resin in there because I have clear it is.
If you put a high shine on the first layer wouldn’t you have a more depth of shine in the opals? Or would the second layer not stick?
Yes and no. So when I put the 2nd coat on it was to fill in gaps in it. So it's going to be cut down to the same leave ether way. 😁
Ahhhhh I see! I was watching with an 11 month old friend so I missed some of the audio around that part. I thought you used the lathe on the first coat. Again my 11 month old friend distracted me 😂. Thank you for your reply. I enjoy your videos and am looking forward to seeing more. I’m just starting out and trying to get the tools I need to get as good as you are, if that’s possible! Thanks for the links and tool producer names you share. I’m stocking up on used tools now. But some day!
Can you please tell me more about your lathe? Is this an actual jewelers lathe that you can buy or is it a modified wood lathe that you just need to buy a chuck for? What is the brand of your lathe and how much did it cost you? Thank you.
Please could you tell me what polishing compound you use please?

Thank you for such a great video! Is there any way of manually smoothing the ring after the stones have set for example filing? I don’t have the machinery you use x
th-cam.com/video/k2JKO5Pgjwg/w-d-xo.html this might help 😁👍
Fantastic !!!
Can you attach those carbon ends and the ring part on a woodworking mini lathe?
How much would you charge to make me one. That came out beautifully I use uv resin all the time. But can’t make rings. No garage or extra room for laith or fire lol
