Make a Forged Ring with Peridot: A Silversmithing Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- This tutorial is about making a cold forged ring surmounted by a pretty 9x7 mm oval Peridot. This is an intermediate-ish project. For materials, I used 16 gauge (1.3 mm) sterling round wire, and 18 gauge (1.02 mm) sterling sheet. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and a liquid flux.

I love how you explain everything you're doing Chad. Thank you
You're welcome Jay!
So simple, but yet so different and so nice! Love it 😊👌
Thanks Elin!
When they are that shape they are called a swage block I believe. So useful! Great for making tube.
Love the ring!
Thanks Just Me!
Love this design. Always learning something from you. Thanks Chad.😊
Glad I could help Meerkat!
Interesting. I would have just immediately thought to drill holes for the prongs, insert wire, and solder. Hmmm.. always learning a new way from you, Chad. 🌺 🌺 🌺
Sometimes learning the less logical way from me, doh!
@chadssilversmithing You nailed it! No "Doh" at all.
Love this! It’s a unique and creative design. It reminds me of Norwegian simplicity born of creative use of tools on hand and simple design. I like the forging with dappers on handmade hardwood block. I will try this one. 🙏🏻
Thanks Ellen! That's very kind:)
What a clever and lovely design! I'm going to try this thankyou. And I've just bought one of your sketch books! It'll be coming all the way to Aussie!
Thank you Annie! I hope it doesn't take too long:)
@chadssilversmithing same!
Pick solder, sweat solder, stick soldering all useful ..
Agreed:)
I love all of your videos and was excited to see how to do prongs! Coming back from 'pickle time' (so funny each time :) you said that you had cut a little groove for the girdle of the stone to rest on. I have wondered how that was done, so that would have been nice to see. Maybe there is another video where you show how to do that? Thank you so much for your excellent instruction! You have such a calming affect, as well 😊
Hello Shellg! Thank you:). I use a skinny cylindrical diamond burr to grind in a small shelf on each prong on the inside.
@@chadssilversmithing Thanks
i do love your designs, and must admit i steal them from time to time for my own crafts. this one has such a beautifully simple elegance to it, love it, and all explained in such a calm soothing tone.
when converting to metric though, especially when your gonna be forging or filing it, that .02mm is so unbelievably negligible, you may as well just say 18g is 1mm sheet, not to say i dont appreciate the conversion, i have no idea what gauge even means.
Thanks Pyrosparkes. It is not stealing when I’m putting things out here for just that:). On many of these I am trying to figure out how to make something similar to others’ work I have admired. I haven’t done much in the past with anticlastic shapes, so I thought it would be fun to try and this was the result:). This piece, while my personal spin on the basic idea, is certainly not unique. Thanks for the nice comment and the advice on metrics!
Very pretty but I would have like to see the whole finish of the prongs! Please don’t stop too soon 🤣🤣🤣
One of these days I'll do a prong finishing video:)
@ 👍😎
I always thought there was a much easier way to create that curvy shape for a ring by first making the ring and then putting those ball tools on top and hitting them with the hammer then switching top with the bottom and hitting again. I am sure you know which process i am talking about. I wonder why you chose a more complicated way? 🤔🤔🤔
But the ring came out great anyway. ❤❤❤
Also I was very curious how you are going to be dealing with prongs and I did see your method 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Hello Anne! I was thinking I could get a more symmetrical shape this way:). I’ll have to try it the other way to compare!
I bit of burr lube will definitely make your drill bits work more efficiently. And speed up the process.
You're right! Thanks for the tip!
