I've recently discovered your channel (by your successful hacking of the youtube algorithm) and have binged pretty much every video. It's so fun learning from someone who is passionate about their field! I'm gaining such a new appreciation for goldsmithing, and love to see the care you pour into each project -- thank you sharing your craft with us! But also just have to add -- every time I see that contraption you use to flatten a piece of gold, I automatically think "ahhh yes, the metal pasta maker."
Hi there, great to see gold fabrication. Thanks for showing this. I have a question: Is it ok for the pendant to have space between the bezel and the stone? Does dirt get stuck in there? Up by the bail, it looked a bit open. Maybe because gold is so much harder it's not a problem. I'm learning so please indulge a query if you can!! Thanks.
Awesome video sir. Question: How do you collect the shaving pieces of metal from your workstation? I assume they can be melted down and hold enough value to do so. Is it just a simple vacuum up procedure? Thanks.
Jesse James thanks Jesse. If the scrap metal is big enough it is simply recycled and melted back down, but for all the dust I do sweep and vacuum that up. I usually have the dust refined once a year after it has built up a bit.
Do you ever create pendant settings for Australian Black Opals or Andamooka Gem Matrix Opals? They are comparatively soft and heat sensitive compared to the semi-precious stone in this video. Thanks!
Bezel set is my favorite. I have a ring that I need the stone replaced in though, and can’t find a jeweler in my area that will do it. They say they can’t take the stone out that’s in it now without ruining the ring ☹️
Ok, you’ll start from scratch pouring your own ingot of gold to make a bezel (very cool by the way!) when most people would just buy a strip of bezel wire, but for the royal wedding band (with rubies added) you cast a plain band? Why cast a plain band?
Whenever I see your videos I'm inspired to become a Goldsmiths, the problem though is that I am a goblin and will immediately desire to hoard all jewelry until I am a dragon. It's a big problem 😌😜

Very nice pendant and well produced video. It was very relaxing to watch. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching.
The most beautiful setting IMO. I have had almost every stone in a bezel or half bezel. It also makes your stone look bigger than it is.
Insane amount of time and effort
It turned out AMAZING *-*
Great piece 🔥 looking forward to seeing more videos from you !
Jose Fx more coming! Thanks much!
Appreciate the simplicity and beauty of this piece
Beautiful! I love tourquoise and gold together!
Beautiful as always ❤
Beautiful and intriguing to watch it come to life.
Definitely looking forward to more videos.
Thanks Chris! Hoping to post once a week.
Wow great job, I got some stones I can do the same. Thanks for the training.
Love this ring
This was so therapeutic to watch! What tool did you use on the rotary tool to set the stone into the bezel?
Just what I wanted to know!
More vids like these pls! I loved it and te result was beautifull. Love the style and taste
Samira EL.Messaoudi thanks for the kind words! More videos coming :)
Modern Goldsmith how much to put gold around my jade pendant 42 mmx 30 mm x6 mm
Thank you for the detailed walk-through of your process! What fuel do you use with your Little torch?

Awesome video! What kind of white rotary disk is that being used on the edge of the bezel to clean it up?
I have to ask, how much gold is wasted my filing and grinding like that??
Your work was great👍😍
gorgeous

@@moderngoldsmith Thanks man, i appreciate the reply.

Really nice video, relaxing to watch :) you got a new sub!
Thanks for sharing and the blog article is really helpful too. What anvil tip do you use to hammer the bezel?
SO AWESOME
Nice! Thank you
Hey there, can you possibly make more turquoise jewelry? America’s stone!!
What kind of cutters are you using? My flush wire cutters just smash the ends of the wire. They still have to be filed.
I mean cutters for the bezel wire.
Same I usually take a sanding disc and just hit it quickly to create that nice flat surface!
what happens to all the gold filings?
very nice 👌🏻
What was the gold k?
do you perhaps have an online store?
Look at his about info. There's a link that says SHOP. You can also send him an email from his website moderngoldsmith.com
@@bethiebooyaahh thanks!!
Neat!
Sweet
So pretty 😘

This is the ring I want!,,
I love it
But we are very broke
Looks like Turquoise Mountain or Persian
