Thank you so much for making these videos! I know they take a lot of effort, but being able to see a real professional and their technique really inspires me to keep practicing!
Thank you, In my videos I try to show one of the many possible techniques to make a jewel. each one then, based on his ability to his story and his masters, can reinterpret him as best he can.

I love your videos! You are my favourite channel on TH-cam! I'm currently a student at The Alberta College of Art and Design and I am majoring in jewelry and metal smithing! This is the kind of thing I hope to make in the future. You have amazing talent and your knowledge of craftsmanship is incredible. What I wouldn't give to pick your brain about jewelry making for a day. Thank you so much for making these videos, they are extremely helpful in my work and I've learned a lot. You're the best! :)
I thank you, but do not limit yourself to what you see in my videos, techniques for jewelry making are many and many are craftsmen who use different techniques. Refine your skills and always experience, so work will never bother you. For the future market also learn 3D modeling on compueter, 3D printers to produce jewelery quality waxes begin to have affordable prices.
What I like most about your videos is that you don't do lost wax casting. You demonstrate far greater skill then that. It is a joy and inspiration to watch you create scaffoal. I just turn down the volume and enjoy.
Thank you for a free tutorial of you fine abilities. And for taking the time to record and upload it. Now all you got to do is solder on a couple of jump rings and polish again ;)
Thank you, this was one of the projects I carried out at the goldsmith school that I freqented at the beginning of my work history, I guarantee you that the professors of my school demanded even greater perfection.
I love your work scaffoal. A quick (and newbie) question if you don't mind : is this a durable clasp compared to, say, a spring ring or lobster clasp ? By that I mean, does the mechanism last and function well over time, with possibly thousands of opening/closing ? Besides, is it sturdy, does it resist being accidentally "pulled"/snatched ? Thank you for your help.
Each closure has its use and its reason to be used, even for aesthetic choices. This closure, if made well, lasts over time, integrates well with some types of chains, bracelets and necklace clasps. (I use google translator, excuse the errors)
scaffoal thank you very much for your answer scaffoal. I am working on a « standalone » clasp that ties both ends of a spliced rope. I craft the clasp from titanium and I explore new ways to make it, hence my question.
I have made several attempts at this closure with varying degrees of success. The problem I have is that when soldering the release button the spring, the spring loses its spring. Have you had this problem? Further to my last comment, I was using .7mm 925 silver and the closure was a bit smaller than yours which I might add was much more pleasing to the eye.
I never thought of describing the tools I use, I assumed that the basic tools of my trade were known to everyone. If you are interested you can visit the online shop of Luigi Dal Trozzo, supplier of tools for goldsmiths, on the site you can find photos of all the equipment. If you need specific information you can contact me by email that you find on my site that I advertise at the beginning of each video.
Great video thumbs up...I'm curious with the handmade lock lose tension and how to fix it if so? Also why do alot of jeweler's especially Miami cuban link makes use casted locks?
The problem i had was soldering the push button onto the tongue part,without making the tongue soft and becoming weak and sometimes too soft to work.Do you let the tongue air cool or dunk in water ,acid asap after soldering to keep it's strength?
Does that mean you would solder (weld) on another component? Perhaps jump rind attachment? It is very beautiful. Thank you for making these gorgeous videos and pieces.
Spettacolare! Ma vendete questi gioielli?Perche ho appena notato che avete un negozio in via repubblica a Parma(io vivo a parma) e potrei essere interessato!
Certo vendiamo i nostri gioielli e non solo. Spesso realizziamo gioielli su ordinazione e trattiamo anche occasioni. Se interessato può passare per chiedere ulteriori informazioni.Saluti
Thank you i thought to make the tongue from one piece of metal and bend it into shape,but then you still have to solder the push button onto the top of the tongue.Thanks again.
I have made several attempts at this closure with varying degrees of success. The problem I have is that when soldering the release button the spring, the spring loses its spring. Have you had this problem?
Thank you most kindly for your reply. Yes I understand that the spring needs to be work hardened after it is heated but the spring is quite small (less than 5mm x 10mm x.5mm and work hardening tends to deform it somewhat. The spring release button was formed by slitting the end of the spring into three prongs. The centre prong was bent upwards to form a small goose neck which when pressed down, released the catch. Very difficult to work harden. Never mind, I'll work out something, perhaps using fine spring steel. By the way, your work is most elegant.
muy buen trabajo, yo soy joyero desde los 13 años , solo que para mi, el detalle en el interior también cuenta, yo aprendi a hacerle el mate de oro por dentro de las joyas, así el brillo, es afuera y por dentro también
Es cierto que una joya debe terminarse de la misma manera en todas las partes, incluso en aquellas ocultas a la vista. A menudo, las demandas del mercado nos llevan a omitir detalles ocultos a la vista.
scaffoal un saludo colega!! Ya no estoy en la joyería, pero amo este oficio, en mis memorias los kilos y kilos de kilos de oro que trabaje, dicen que uno deja de ser aquello que es, y yo soy un joyero! Saludos!!
This type of closure is expensive to manufacture, it is used for important hooks or bracelets. there are similar closures made with molds by specialized firms, less refined but much cheaper. However we can make to order what the customer wants and send it. If you are interested you can contact scaffoal@oro-diamanti.it for quotes and shipping costs.
I looked through all the questions and nobody asked how the beautiful clasp is to be attached to a necklace, how odd that no one else wonders, did I miss something?
I think one of the most important part in clasp making was missing. After soildering, heat ruins elastic form of the clasp(it's inevitable after annealing process). How come do you manage to get it back without scratch?
Hola, impresionante la habilidad que tienes para elaborar joyería, quiero saber por favor ,qué soplete usas, al,parecer es gas/ aire, el que uso yo es de gas/oxígeno
Eu sou ourives,porém apredir fazer fecho de gaveta de outra forma,vendo esse vídeo gostei da forma de fazer muito top, vou fazer desse jeito bem melhor luxo.
correct plate thickness. nothing to do with thinner commercial for low weight construction. all of them we see with free tutorial and fine abilities, as @wonbadood says. all structure from melting to polish.
Hello, Thank you for your video! Is it possible to give the sizes and measurements in order to understand the proportions and the principles ? Thanks again :)
thank you, I'm sorry I can not give you the thickness of the metal because normally I do not measure it. it is the experience that shows me how many measures I must use, they change according to the characteristics of the metal I use.
scaffoal Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it! I'm happy to say that with the help of your video and a book that I follow (and my experience...) I succeeded in the task ((: Thanks again!!

Love your videos
Muy muy buen video. Excelente trabajo!
Thanks again Mr.Scaffoal for a very impressive video.
thank you
That "click" is the most satisfying sound to a goldsmith! Also, how come I've never seen you break a saw blade? Lol
yes, I too, like all mortals, break the blades during processing.
I used to watch this channel. Took ages to find it again.
If you were to teach classes at a school, I would go cause you’re so good
That is beautiful, thank you for sharing;-)
Very impressive!!!...thank you for sharing with us👍👍.
thanks
😉👍 WOW Thanks THIS WAS EXACLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR 👍 NOW I CAN GET FINISHED WITH MY PROJEKT ...
thanks to you
Hi. Thanks for your instructions.
Interesting to see how different smiths using the same tools constructs the exact same mechanism in different ways.
Siempre un placer ver tus trabajos , felicidades Scaffoal
gracias
Another great video Alberto...thank you! Any chance you could take some aspiring gold and silver smiths on a tour of your workspace one day?
who knows, maybe one day I could....
So much work and detail into a small piece off jewelry that I would think was made by a machine because it’s that perfect
Thank you, this was one of the projects I carried out at the goldsmith school that I freqented at the beginning of my work history, I guarantee you that the professors of my school demanded even greater perfection.
Well made, great job !!! Congratulations !!!
thank you
Great sir well done. It ll help us a lot 🙏🙏🙏
thank you for very helpful videos!

Have you had this problem? Further to my last comment, I was using .7mm 925 silver and the closure was a bit smaller than yours which I might add was much more pleasing to the eye.
it is normal, the metal when it is heated loses its elasticity. you have to hammer the spring lightly, in order to harden it.
Wow. I know I’m really late to this video but can you give links to the tools you use? It would really help beginners like me.

thank you
And thank you for telling me this
Great video thumbs up...I'm curious with the handmade lock lose tension and how to fix it if so? Also why do alot of jeweler's especially Miami cuban link makes use casted locks?
It is easier to make a short video than to explain it in words, as soon as I can I do it. Cast parts are often used because they are cheaper.
Great !!!!
Yes nice job bravo from ✊🇧🇬
thank you
Muchas gracias amigo
How do you re work harden the spring after soldering?
great video
thank you
Thank you so much!!!
quick question if anyone can please help me out here. When making box clasps should I use deadsoft or 1/2 hard metal?
this is amazing
thank you
Exquisite!
Thanks
The problem i had was soldering the push button onto the tongue part,without making the tongue soft and becoming weak and sometimes too soft to work.Do you let the tongue air cool or dunk in water ,acid asap after soldering to keep it's strength?
After welding, to restore the strength of the spring, you have to hammer it slightly, to work harden the metal.
How do you attach a necklace or bracelet? I see no connecting places. Beautiful piece!
it can be used for various types of jewelry, depending on the use the necessary pieces are welded.
Does that mean you would solder (weld) on another component? Perhaps jump rind attachment? It is very beautiful. Thank you for making these gorgeous videos and pieces.
wow great
thank you

I looked through all the questions and nobody asked how the beautiful clasp is to be attached to a necklace, how odd that no one else wonders, did I miss something?
That totally depends on what you're attaching. Three strands of pearls would be completely different than a large Cuban chain, for instance..
Flying Chef probably because that's a dumb question
@@leticiablau8593 there are no dumb questions especially when you are trying to learn something new :)
I think one of the most important part in clasp making was missing. After soildering, heat ruins elastic form of the clasp(it's inevitable after annealing process). How come do you manage to get it back without scratch?
if the slot that allows the passage of the spring is precise, it takes very little for the spring to catch.
beautiful is the art of jewelry crafters.
thank you

How long does it take to make one
