Making A Statement Ring with A Rectangular Faceted Stone
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2022
- This video tutorial shows how to fabricate a bold statement ring that always grabs attention. This project is intermediate level. The materials I used were: 18 gauge sterling sheet, and 16 gauge sterling round. For this example I used a relatively large rectangular faceted Rutilated Quartz, but different types and shapes of stones could produce some cool variations. This video is a bit longer, but is a complete tutorial, so I think it is worth the watch time. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful?

Would really love your E-book book, but being in Aus is a little beyond my budget. your work is lovely and I've been following for awhile now. you are such a good Tudor. I've past you name on to many of my Australian friends for you. Have a fantastic day Chad. kind regards Sandy (Australia)

Thanks Sandy! Hope you have a fantastic day as well!
I don't normally like big rings but, I quite like that one. Fantastic work as always Chad and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gazz!
Thanks for the video man. I’ve been searching everywhere on how to mount baguette/ square stones. 20 min through finished helped me with everything
I’m really glad this helped! Thanks for the nice comment Javieair:)
Thank you for making faceted stone tutorials lately! That's been my next biggest hurdle-they're so much more precise and finnicky than cabochons. I appreciate your help as always
No problem Cody. I was super intimidated by faceted stones at first, but they’re not too hard after you’ve set a few. I think round prong settings are much easier than this rectangular one. Thanks for watching!
I had a "duh" moment watching this. I am working on a 8mm cushion cut cz ring. I spent a couple hours chasing it around around trying to make this setting . When I saw you bending the wire around the drawing I said " well duh" why didnt I think of that. The forming is advanced for me but how else do you learn except get in there and try. Thanks for sharing your expertise
You are welcome Verda! I'm glad I could help:)
This project is inspiring me to try something similar 😊 thanks Chad!
Send a pic to my instagram when you're done. I'd love to see it Ann!
I'm going to try this example, nice ring. Beautiful stone!
I find rectangular faceted stones a little challenging. Let me know how it goes! Thanks for the comment Chris.
@@chadssilversmithing I'll send a picture and let you know how i go :)
I have found to just do the ring onto the cradle and then turn the ring on its side and file the bottom, and it makes the bottom of the ring narrower I mean to file it across the bottom on its side.
Good idea Carol! Thanks for watching:)
Thanks!
You’re welcome:). Thank you for watching!
Thank you!😍🙏
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching:)

❤🎉 Hola desde Chile 🇨🇱 very nice cocktail ring , thank you Chad It’s great I’ll give it a try,,,,sorry my English
Thanks Gabriela! It’s always fun to know these reach people from so many places. I’m glad you found it useful:). Take care.
Hey there glad to find your video. I was wondering if having nice long wires for the prongs, helped distribute heat so the wires do not melt when you solder?
Thanks
Hello Ruth! I've actually found that if you leave them too long, they are kind of vulnerable to melting if you're not careful, so just a bit longer than you'll need.
@@chadssilversmithing OK Cool. With just single wires without a basket, Ive been taught to stuff them down into the block but this is difficult to do with a bezel getting in the way. Glad to see its possible as you have shown!
Chad, why do you deduct the bottom of the basket with the length?you weren't totally in camera view, love how you explain things.
Thank you for the nice comment Marie! Sorry about moving out of frame. Every once in a while I get in the groove and forget I’m filming my hands:). The bottom of the setting becomes the top part of the band encircling your finger, so you need to deduct its width from the length to achieve the size you are shooting for. I hope that explains it for you. Sometimes hard to explain concepts in the comments:)
I saw one like this at the gallery, I love this ring it's beautiful! Where did you find the stone? I need to make this, thanks Chad!
Thanks Andrea. I bought some at the recent show in Denver. Thanks for the comment!
I always suffer from making rings for those stones. I tried do this from 2 sheets by sawing and filing, but i cant solder it right. Than i tried to do entire "basket" from solid block of metal. But it takes toooo much time and metal loss. I really need this white block.
The Magnesia block really can make prong settings much easier. They’re not that expensive, and in my opinion, super handy for multiple situations. Thanks for the comment Dragon Dog!
Do you try to make that black mark land in the very middle of that fold?
I'm not sure what you are asking here Ma Wi. Could you clarify?
Thanks so much Chad ! You were asking for suggestions on future videos so here goes ! I’m looking for an elegant way to ‘silverframe’ a piece of woven or knotted fabric (e.g. micro-macrame) of about 1 mm thickness. I don’t want it showing folded edges and of course I guess soldering would burn the piece. Any bright ideas ? Greets from Barbados !
Thanks for the question. Could it be behind glass or clear plastic?
@@chadssilversmithing Well I wanted to keep the organic fabric look and feel to it and at the same time it shouldn’t get/stay wet. Behind a piece of glass or so, it could stay damp and rot. I was thinking of spray resin but soldering would still be a challenge I guess.
@@Frigger20 Possibly a shape wedged inside of a slightly larger version of the same shape like one of those frames for holding fabric to do needlepoint? I will think on it:)
