Very nice design, and very simple work, the beauty of this is in the simplicity of its design, very nice work well done thank you for sharing this, the wire looked a little tough to work with, though, I am looking forward to seeing the video you mentioned using a pearl or a glass bead making the ring, I really want to see that, thanks Laura in uk
@@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978 Is it possible to make this ring with a thinner gauge metal so that more of the stone is visible? What might be the thinnest I could go without the ring bending out of shape from normal wear? Great video, thank you - I'm learning so much!
@@sheri4673 Yes but as sterling silver is quite a soft metal I would only go as thin as 1.2mm wire. Obviously the thicker the wire the more secure the stone will be.
This is a brilliant idea, thank you so much for sharing! I'm curious, do you think this would work as well with a non-faceted stone, such as an oval cabochon, or small opal?
Of course it would! Any cabochon would work. But not for opals or turquoise or soft stones. The tension of the ring is too much pressure for softer chalky stones like turquoise or delicate layered stones like opals that could crack. Use hard stones. Opals should not be covered up either. Too delicate. And best not to put it on a ring which gets too much handling on fingers. Earrings or pendant is better.
Do you think it would work to solder the shank starting at the very bottom center and attempt to go up the sides to not only make it sturdy but keep the two wires from separating over time?
@@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978 thank you!! I've been practicing this piece all night using the 16 gauge half hard copper I have on hand. Just ordered some 14g copper & I'll grab the silver for when I'm ready. Really love it, thank you so much.
Hello, I am sorry if I missed the answer in the thread, but I could not find a translation for a size "J" that you mention in the video? I am used to American sizing which are numbers. For example, my ring finger on my left hand is a 6.5. Anyone have a key to translate the sizes? Thank you in advance! Also this is a great video for me to make a simple template for fitting all different sizes and shapes of stones I have purchased with no hole.
I just checked my size stick and the American size is 5. Lots more free lessons or subscribe to over 750 lessons at www.jewellerytrainingsolutions.com.au
...for so many reasons this is a terrible way to hold a stone, its a simple design but id never ever recommend this for an expensive stone since u can just pop out the stone by slightly pushing on the sides.
This is incredibly clever! Simple but takes genius to come up with this mechanism. Jewelry is mechanical engineering.
Your wife probably loves your BEAUTIFUL work!!!!
Brilliant! Love the simplicity and beauty of the design. Thank you for sharing.

WolfeCreekCreations yes indeed that would work well
very fine, nice work
Nice video thanks. Can you tell me what the little piece of solder was made of? Thanks
Mike Albanese it's silver solder made from fine silver
Beautiful!
la pierre au tumbler ne se grafigne pas???

Soft sterling silver. Cheers

J is a US size 5 1/4, very small. You can find conversion charts online or buy one on Etsy.

I am new at this but what is the length of wire in numbers? Thank you....
It's 16cm which is about 6 and a quarter inches long
Can you use a pear shaped stone?
AT you could but the point would be vulnerable
Sorry to have to ask but you gave me the size of wire, somehow it got deleted. Again, thank you.
fantastic
...for so many reasons this is a terrible way to hold a stone, its a simple design but id never ever recommend this for an expensive stone since u can just pop out the stone by slightly pushing on the sides.
brilliant tutorial as always but I couldn't stand the noise of the hammer scratching the mandrel. ...like fingernails on a chalk board!
Thank you!!
How do ᵘ•ηᵒ what length of wire to use?¿
1.6mm round wire x 160mm was used. You will need to experiment as it depends on variable such as the stone size
@@jewellerytrainingsolutions9978 thank you. I’ve not made jewellery fir a while as been ill. But this looks therapeutic
Bravissimo
Exelente
like this!
I think I can do it
I wish he would have mentioned how long wire he started out with and for what size wire we had so we have some idea what length of wire to cut?
me too!
+Wendy W I do mention 16cm long at the start of lesson
Louise Dahms that's 15 gauge in the US, or 16 gauge if you can't get the slightly thicker size
Louise Dahms
Maybe you did not hear him at the beginning of the video. He said 1.6 mm wire and 160 mm long.
