Hi! So happy to see you here, I hope this step by step tutorial will help you learn how to make these simple but awesome rings! Will you try the one with an open back bezel??

Some extras if interested, from a fellow goldsmith :
If you use less solder, you wouldn't even need to file it away afterwards, saving both money, time and strain. Also if you do have excess solder, file it away before shaping, it will alter the shape of the ring. It might feel safer to use more solder, but you used perhaps 3x more than this ring needed!
Also when you use your finger to push that bezel down on the file, be aware that you will push more on one side than the other, so it is good to change way a couple of times so that it remains straight, or push with two fingers from above so it files straight.
Punch hole a little closer to your edge, ofc not too close, but you could easily have gotten away with a mm distance here.
When soldering a bezel to a plate, it will require less heat, time and strain on the solder if you cut it into smaller pieces and lay it evenly around the wall instead of one big piece; the heat can make it overheat and create bubbles when so large.
It looks more elegant and feels more stable with a ring where the bezel is soldered between the band, not on top.
Very good to use as much hard solder as possible!
Thank you for sharing, and the inspiration!
excellent tips, thank you so much for sharing! I appreciate it lot ❤
I laughed so hard when you showed us where the lost gem was! 🤣 I'd like to say thank you for sharing your stories and teaching us the art of silversmithing jewerly. It has always been a dream of mine, but I never knew where to start. You have inspired me so much to finally give it a try. I have a lot to learn, but because of you, it has brought back that strong desire without hopelessness to give it a go. You and your work are absolutely beautiful! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Ditto, Ditto, and Ditto! I'm so inspired to finally invest in the tools/materials and commit! I do have some beautiful faceted & unfaceted gemstone Cabochons that are too small for beaded bezels, some of the tools, so I don't need to invest much more money to make it happen... But she makes it all look so easy..when I know that it will take years of practise to be half as good ❤️ I wish you well in your own endeavours 😊
@@j.whiteoak6408 she truly does! All the best to you as well! ❤️
i always roll/flatten my solder more so it’s very very thin and you use less
What a great tutorial. Just shows you that you don't need all the expensive stuff, very encouraging for someone like me who is wanting to get into silver smithing. Thank you!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Thank you so much for watching :) And I completely agree - you don't need ALL of the tools, especially when getting started. While there are certain tools that are necessary and some investment is inevitable with metalsmithing, there's no need to get everything all at once :)
Basia, your work is so well done. I am referring your channel to my students. Your channel and your talent are a very valuable resource, and such an excellent example of good teaching. Many can do, few can teach (well). And your videos are so gorgeous to watch. 👏👏👏
i’ve recently learned that bezel set is one of the easiest to do and so that makes sense why this is so approachable. that’s so cool. i love connecting points of learning.
It really is! Once you learn the technique and practice a little, it's very straightforward and fun :) And it's a great base for other setting techniques, too
You’re a breath of fresh air for sure.
The panic-chills moment is priceless 😄
This requires incredible patience and you make it look so easy! I’ve gathered all my supplies, but I had to take a break from trying because it’s so hard lol 😂 I finally have the courage to try again 2 months later
yes metalsmithing is a lot of work. This is just for a basic piece. When I Started I bought sooo many tools and it gets expensive.
@@annasimons389 I’ve spent so much. I had to take a break because I injured myself while wax working ironically enough which felt safer
that open bezel ring accents the opal beautifully! The flash tho! Great video Basia, especially love that you left in the silly moment of finding the opal on your arm.. giving "where is my phone, when you're on a call" vibes side note.... I did it! Thank you for all your tutorials and guidance, I have officially soldered my first pendant a full back, bezel set turquoise (pear cut) with a tube set Apatite facet dangle I didn't melt a single thing lol am going to learn polishing this week to finish the project, I couldn't have done so well on the first try without your channel and concisely delivered knowledge, Thank you again!!!
That missing opal would have made me panic, that tape is good stuff 😬.
To be honest, I was too dumbfounded and the shock hasn't set in yet, I just could not fathom where it went, when it was RIGHT THERE in front of me the moment earlier haha 🤣
🤣🤣
Once was playing badminton with friends, til the birdie was lost seemingly mid flight. When I got home and removed my jacket, the birdie was in my hoodie 😂
That’s funny! 😇
I am honestly surprised! There is so much more work than I expected. This is such an art. I’m not sure what I was expecting but there is A LOT to consider!!! 😮
yes metalsmithing is a lot of work. This is just for a basic piece. When I Started I bought sooo many tools and it gets expensive.
subbed ! 😍 great tutorial, ive been wanting to get into jewelry making
This is mesmerizing, what a fun video!
Well done! Thank you for sharing. It is always nice to get another idea for silver smithing!
Love these, especially the open bezel. Love the colours in opals. I must work out my ring size and save up for one of these beautiful simple rings. I watch for moonstone and Alexandrite too as those are my birthstones! I watch for a very simple bezel with moonstone and Alexandrite, but would be good with Opal as well - hubby doesn’t like Pearl s he grew up with the old adage that pearls are bad luck. These are gorgeous and I love watching the process. I’d love to try this,
Hubby had to get his wedding ring cut off and didn’t want a replacement, one day I’d love to make something from the metal of his ring. 😊😊😊
That's so sweet, thank you so much, love! :) I appreciate it a lot. Oh yeah, I heard that about the pearls, that some believe they're bad luck. Well, considering they come from a living organism, one can argue that we're not suppose to harvest them. I can see the point here.
Moonstone and alexandrite are gorgeous! I'm on the lookout for some lovely and flashy moonstones to make open rings like these opal ones. Hopefully I'll be able to buy some soon :)
And yes, I['m sure one day you'll be able to make your own ring bands! It really isn't that difficult and I;m sure you'd enjoy it a lot. Even if you don't plan on buying your own tools, you can always check if there are any workshops run by jeweller's or makers in your area, or "ring in a day" workshops, these are great :)
I love your channel and love the concise instruction! Great, soothing voice as well.
Definitely going to have a go at these.

Oh my goodness, that's so exciting!! Well done Alicia, I'm very happy for you 😍 And I'm glad to hear that my videos have helped you, it means a lot 🙏 Looking forward to hearing more about your experience with the polishing process and everything. Good luck!
It's so great to hear from another beginner & that it was a successful project! I'm very excited to try it myself, and I think that a pendant will be a good place to start also. Best wishes for your future projects!
Thanks Basia, I found this video very helpful and picked up a couple of tips 🙏
Really helpful video, thank you. So interesting!
Thank you for sharing your process with us!Very helpful to 'hobbyist' like myself!🥂
Thank you so much for sharing us how to set stone 🙏😍
Love the Opal, so attractive and colourful like you. 😍
So pretty. 😍. As I'm a complete beginner, your videos are great and I'm always learning so much.
I loved this!!
You skill and your videos are both excellent 😊
Great work, and thank you for the instructions for the bezels. I am going to make an open-back gemstone necklace.
Absolutely amazing I’m learning how to do jewelry making and I actually learned something from you that I didn’t know how to do. Thank you.
Very nicely done
Great video! Thank you!
This was sooo helpful Basia, I learned a lot
nice work girl nothing better than opal, i love cutting opal stones
love watching your tutorials, I've learned a lot, as always! greetings form Poland!
This was super informative and well made. I'm excited to try to make rings! I find that using a mitre jig helps me get the edges nice and clean for soldering bands
Amazing work!! Thankyou!
Excellent tutorial!
Can I say, your videos are excellent. Thorough and brief at the same time. I love seeing how you fix mistakes and overcome problems. Perhaps a few handy hacks/tips to fix mistakes would be a great?
Thank you Basia!
🧘🏻♀️🌐🕊🌻💕
These are beautiful! You do marvelous work! 🥰
Thank you so much! 🥰
Oooh! This is so cool! I think I'll make one of these soon :) Thank you!!
wow looks Amazing good luck in your new space i love your videos here in England you are very inspiring x
Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and being an inspiration❣️💞
It's my pleasure, thank you! I'm very happy you've been enjoying my videos ❤
Outstanding! Thank you!
oh wow, thank you so much!! ❤
These rings are simply gorgeous!! Ive always wanted to learn jewelry making using this technique. I have heaps of beautiful seaglass Ive collected over the years & woukd live to turn them into rings & pendants, but really have no idea how to learn all the techniques or where to get supplies
Would you ever consider making some of your previous videos again but more of a tutorial? I love your stacking and hammered ring videos but would love more detail like in this! Love your work, you’re an inspiration!
Thanks Basia, i'm definitely going to try a ring with the tiny opal i have. It's too small to try an open back, but the wire inside to lift the gem is a great idea
one of a kind beauty
Thank u very much for your videos! Its very helpful!!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it 💜
hello! I also like to make a ring by myself. Your video is a good guide on how to make a ring. thanks
Just watched with my 3 kiddos. We were all intrigued and you received 3 wows at your finished products
Awww, thank you! That's so sweet! ❤️
Wonderful! So beautiful. Your teaching style is perfect 🥰🙏
Oh wow, thank you Julia! 💕 That's very kind
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingshe is not wrong, you know!!!
GORGEOUS!!🥰🥰🥰🥰 My 1st time seeing your channel. I've been beading 18yrs and am ready to expand my horizons! THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!!💖💖💖
I'm so happy you're here! I hope you will enjoy other videos too 🥰💕 Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment
Hi Basha..beautiful rings, & perfect video instruction, thank you so much for sharing your skills..you did have me laughing when your Opel went missing, as I am always losing things, & find them stuck to me somewhere, yes, especially the tape!!..Glad you found it!..
❤😂Love your videos and voice!
Thank you so much! :) ❤️
Lol I have done that before. Great video and always learn from your video
Omg I would have done that with the missing opal haha 😂 ❤ both beautiful 🤩
I managed to lose some gems and silver bits throughout my time as a jeweler in many different ways but never like this! That was the first hahaha 😁
Дуже гарно вийшло! Дякую що поділилися своєю творчістю ❤️🏵️☺️☀️
WoW! This is a painstaking process but it's worth it in the end!
Oh absolutely, it's totally worth it 🥰 Thank you for watching!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Hello from puerto vallarta jalisco México. This are the rings i like to make and opals are local stones. Good video Basia. Saludos
cool ring
Thank you! ❤️
Very clear and concise instructions. 👍 I always lose something when I'm making jewelry. It drives me crazy but I usually discover that I'm sitting on it. 😄
Right?? It's always in some odd, but also obvious place haha 😄 Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Hello!!
Incredibly informative video, thank you!! Is it possible for you to list your materials and the brand names? Specifically the flux and bezel material brands!! I've been trying to add more tools and equipment to my repertoire hahah. Thank you! :)
Hello Basia, what a great tutorial. Very simple to follow and so thorough! I’m a complete beginner to soldering and there were a few tools you used that I’m not familiar with. I wondered if you could possibly provide a tools & materials list. I especially liked the hole punch pliers you used. I have two pair of jewelry hole punch pliers but neither seem as sturdy as yours. Could you maybe provide the brand. If my request is too much trouble, do not worry about it. I will figure it out. I very much appreciate all your content and will continue learning from you!
Graciously,
Andrea 🙏🏼😊
Beautiful job new subscriber.
Thank you! 💜
That always amazes me how it flows up or fills in the gaps because of heat ! Thank you for sharing ❤️🌹💋
I agree, it's very mesmerizing :) Thank you so much lovely! ❤️
This was sweet to watch! I have always wanted to get into jewelry making. I’m taking this as a sign from God✨🙂
The Opal hiding on your elbow was hilarious! Thank you for sharing 😂💛
Oh and subscribed! 🎉😊
Thank you, Bella Vida Mercy 💕
Love these dainty rings!! I started this hobby last January and I NEVER get tired of making them!! This is where standard sized bezel cups and standard sized cabachons REALLY save time, though!!
How are you able to use hard solder paste when joining the bezel to the rings, without the joins you just did coming undone? Does paste have a slightly lower melting temp than hard wire solder?
I remember thinking a few days ago I should start making my own rings, but after watching a few video’s and this one I’ll just stick to buying them instead. This is a science, it’s a work of art, and a gift to be able to learn all of this and make a business out of it, something I wasn’t even considering doing. I respect this art and will never feel the slightest regret again when spending a lot of money on a ring. I’m getting into gemstone rings made with quality because as awesome as SHEIN and Temu jewelry are they don’t last but a few wears and I got so sick of my rings just snapping out in public, let’s just say, adjustable zinc alloy rings with ADHD are not a great combination apparently. But when I went to a Celtic festival with a friend and bought some sterling silver rings I swore I’d never go back to cheap jewelry ever again. It may cost more, but it lasts longer.
they're so beautiful, i want them all 👁️👄👁️~💙✨ they're so in my style👌flower designs too 🤩
I'm happy you think so! Thank you ❤️ The purple one from the thumbnail, at the bottom, I wear that one ALL THE TIME! 😁😀

すごく素敵な指輪❤
作って欲しいぐらい♪
I just opened a crystal shop, and I am starting my journey of making my own jewelry. Jewelry has always been a passion of mine. I recently had to retire from my career. So, my full focus is on crystals. I have some incredible cabs and precious gems that I want to fully custom make. Any tips or videos you recommend watching. I love your style. I found your videos at just the right time. I am looking forward to learning from your videos!
I was dying laughing when you pulled that opal from your elbow! Something I might have done myself 😂👍 now if I can only stop melting the the little rings. Thanks for sharing.
hello beautiful I love your way of working 👏👌👍😘
Thank you so much Filiberto! 💕
Love the tip about using a wire step to bring the opal higher to fit around the bezel strip! Would you solder this wire step to the bezel strip? Would love to see a tutorial on how to do this ☺️
Hi Rachel! Your comment made me realize that I missed one clip and haven't added it to the video... The one where I was showing how I made that step! Oh dear 😅 That's a great suggestion! And it's connected to the subject of setting thin gemstones, so I will definitely make a video about it in the near future :)
That was a wonderful video, thank you! May I ask what tool (or vise) you were using to hold the ring when you were setting the stone?
These are so beautiful! I just started and I would love to make these! What metal are you using?
Oh That Missing Opal!!!🤣🤣 That's my life in a nutshell. Love Your Videos
Hahaha same here 😁 thank you lovely! ❤️
KALIMAYA 👍
Hi Basia! Really good work as always! Just an idea for a future video, it would be great to make a tutorial about dealing with firestain (prevention and removal). That's a nightmare, specially for those who use hand torch...
That's a great suggestion! Thank you ❤ I thought I did a video about it, but turns out I made a post on Patreon, but never made a video. So I've added it to the list of ideas and will do my best to make that video in the future too :)
Это прекрасное 🎉🎉🎉😊
Baha...the cutest thing ever. The missing opal. 😂 I absolutely already adore you and this is first time I've seen a single video of yours 😂😂❤❤❤
oh my, thank you! You're so kind ❤ I hope you will like other videos too :)
Nice work I have too many gemstones lol not enough time
Thank you for the tutorials! What gauge size is the backplate?
thank you for this tutorial. Whats that metal item you placed on the charcoal brick
I laughed so hard when you found the opal, nice to see you can laugh at yourself 😂
That is hilarious can’t believe you lost the stone on your elbow, and beautiful ring and great work on the video thanks for sharing!
Thank you for another great video! I noticed you heated your third hand tweezers to avoid them from becoming a heat sink. How do you clean them? BTW, finding your stone stuck to your arm was hilarious. At least now I know I'm not the only one. 😉😂
To be honest, I haven't cleaned my tweezers yet. The clean ones in the video are new ones :) But the older ones haven't been cleaned, so I won't be able to answer... I'm very happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching ❤
Hiya lady Stardust<
This is a fantastic video; thank you for making it and for showing two versions of the process.
I love this new style and format; it suits you. Your blush when you showed the hidden gem??? Perfection.
It seems I'm not alone in loving this film; your work has gone up several levels with this change.
When I was lighting, especially on The Clothes Show, my signature was several slashes of coloured light shining up the wall in the back of the shot. I used the two colours you are using, plus turquoise and sometimes purple. They are still my favourite colours, just now with gems.
Great choice of gems; that flash of blue when you were setting the bezel was...
Do you use a bezel rocker? I love it for smoothing down after the initial closing. I must start using the hammer handpiece with the rocker tip. That ability to push and smooth the metal at the same time is wonderful.
Stay safe, Steve xx
I'm very happy you're enjoying the videos, Steve! I will switch to smaller and daintier jewellery now (in tutorials), I think it may be more interesting for people and I also want to explore these designs more.
In this video I experimented with the light, at first I was using colorful lights and then I only used one warm white lamp. I noticed it's better when it comes to close-ups and details, so I might keep doing this moving forward. Ahh, working on sets with lights must've been very interesting! So much experience and fun memories, too. I love these colours too 🥰
Have a great evening Steve, thank you for watching and your kind comment 🙏
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing
I would love to learn how to do this. Where do you get your supplies?
Basia, regarding the open bezel ring shank: once you measure and cutout portion of ring shank how do you determine what angle to file it at to fit bezel correctly? And to make the sides evenly filed? By hand how?
can u do a video on pre made empty setting rings with cup bezels plz :)
Great video. Where to buy these files material’s etc?
Beautiful 😍
I have a question. What is the measurement of your sawblade? I think mine is to big... thank you...
I laughed so hard when you found your opal!
❤❤❤
Hi, is there a supply list for this video? Thanks and sorry I'm very new...and I thank you for this video. This is exactly what I want to make, and I have a bunch of supplies, but everyone tells you something different it seems. I just want to make exactly this lol
Is it possible to list out some of the materials you used? Metal gauges, saw blade and file sizes, and polishing pieces? Thank you!!
Are you able to do an in-depth video on the open-back bezel ring? For some reason, I'm unable to solder it correctly.
I’m mesmerized by your work 👏🏼👏🏼 Are these going to be for sale?
Thank you so much! Yes, these and many more like these will be available 🥰 I plan to update my shop in February with a batch of dainty rings just like these ones, I will make an announcement prior to the shop update 🙏
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I’ll be patiently waiting! Thanks!
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing, they are so typical of your work. I loved watching you make these, so now, with yet another visit to the coffee machine, I'm off to my bench. More Argentium to fuse together. Let's see how much I can melt tonight, shall we? Sorry about the pic a few hours ago; that is all my computer would let me do. Wonderful build and video; thank you for sharing with us all.
Stay safe, Steve xx
