Turning the Gold and Gemstones I found into a beautiful Ring!!

- When i first discovered gold underwater years ago I was immediately hooked and it has now become a major part of my life and shaped the way in which I live it. As a young impressionable young man I was influenced by my pop who spoke of gold in the Mersey river where he owned land. I soon got myself a metal detector and set out to find myself large gold nuggets. The problem was I had no idea how to prospect at that age and soon lost interest. Twenty years later my wife got me hooked again after a successful fossicking trip in NE Tasmania. I returned home and researched the web for gold deposits and gold mining history in Tasmania and with the extra information now available online I was able to find my first few pieces of alluvial gold. I've always wanted to make a ring from the gold I've collected and that time has finally come.

Well done Levi you guys just made a beautiful family heirloom👏👏
I had an ounce of my gold made into a ring, pendant & earrings for my wife on our 25th anniversary.
I think the fact that you found the gold & stones makes the jewellery even more special.
What a beautiful piece of film. I was captivated from start to finish. I've had lots to do with Shelly - The Gem Mistress, and couldn't be more impressed with what she creates. I'm so happy you got exactly what you deserved. Thanks for sharing that with us. I was a bit teary to be honest x
Beautiful. Today is our 46th wedding anniversary and your ring and the love behind it brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing.
Your heart and soul is in that ring! Absolutely amazing! And Nichol has mad skills! I'd love to learn how to make jewelry!
the edit on this was incredible . one of your best to date ! beautiful ring too
Thanks Jordan
What a wonderful video! You're wife was so happy, and as we all know: Happy wife = Happy life! Blessings to you both.
Levi that was so well edited thanks for sharing a very special moment with us the ring 💍 was crafted by jewellers at the top of their profession well done girls you have made Levi and his wife so happy all the best Levi and family love from Scotland 🏴
Levi, thank you for sharing this heart-felt video. To Louise who encouraged you, to Shelley who cut those stones into gems, to Nicole who fashioned the ring, to Rob who set the gemstone into the ring, to you, Levi, for your devotion to us by bringing us along on your remarkable journey. You are truly an amazing man with a whole army of supporters by your side and your TH-cam family who is cheering you on always.
Stunning ring. What a fun video- every girl's dream to see the gems and gold come to life. What a beautiful keepsake for you Louise!
What a lovely ring! It is so satisfying to see the natural state of your finds transformed into this!
Absolutely gorgeous, and so was the ring!
Hi it is ewan and trevor, ring turned out beautiful. You have inspired us to keep looking and showed us that even the smallest of stones can be made look beautiful when in the right hands. Also thanks for making my birthday wish and letting me get a picture with you.
Really awesome video and something different! Amazing to see how much work goes into making a ring like this. A lot of skill and talent from those ladies and it was great to see all the processes behind it all. Great stuff Levi and congratulations
The ring is not just a lovely gift but a most meaningful one that ties your past with your father to your children and wife into the present and future. A truly awe-inspiring story!
Awesome video, what a great feeling making something like this that your entire family had a part in. Definitely a one of a kind heirloom. Thanks for sharing this great video. You guys are blessed.
Thanks Mike appreciate it 👍🏼
Beautiful 💕
My Grandfather was a fossicker, facetor and a self-taught jeweller. In his 97 years on this earth he found and then created one of a kind pieces for his family. I proudly wear a peridot and zircon ring he made for my Nan. I know exactly where and when he found the stones as they often told the story of this particular fossicking trip, including the friends they made and the food they cooked (my grandparents were amazing cooks). Each of my children have a stone found and faceted by their Great-grandfather especially for them in celebration of their births. The memories are the thing that makes these stones precious and priceless ❤️ As is the stunning ring that has been created for Louise.
What an amazing presentation! Once again you have outdone yourself with the high quality content you obviously enjoy creating. I am sure I speak for the family of subscribers that faithfully tune in when I say thank you for sharing your passion with all of us. A thousand smiles to you & your brilliant family. They truly are the gemstones that are the priceless treasures here.
Worth more than all of Lizzies gold or gems! Even all of Bezos money can't buy what you have. Cheers & hugs from Canada :)

Superb craftsmanship. I bet that ring holds extra special value with all the work and time involved fossicking. Terrific video!
You have created more than just a ring there you have now a family heirloom that will live on longer than you or your wife, Always symbolising your love for your wife and prospecting Congratulations
Awesome video Levi,what an absolutely stunning ring,great to see your family,and see some of your gold and stones put to perfect use.😊
Wow Louise your a gem 💎, well done to all of you. Great advice from the wife plus passion and commitment from hubby is finished of with beautiful cutting and crafting. The ring is stunning, absolutely beautiful 💙🦋🕊
Levi, I have to say this video is among the best, if not the most enjoyable I have ever watched! I think most of us prospectors dream of doing something like this with some of our hard earned treasure. It was a true pleasure to watch the process as your stone and gold were transformed into such a beautiful ring. Thanks so much!
Thanks heaps really appreciate it
Totally agree My sentiments exactly
A very cool family and a treat to see an amazing ring made from something you found. Keep the videos coming!
I’m working on it cheers 👍🏼👊🏼
As a long time subscriber, I have to say that was a bit of change to your usual content. That said, how fantastic to see the fruits of your labour being transformed by two talented artisans. To everybody involved (including Louise), I take my hat of to you. Thanks for sharing. From the UK
Thanks John
This is so great your wife is beautiful definitely deserves the ring the two lady’s who helped make the ring are beautiful loved what they do and are great at it.
This story is great.
What a beautiful end result! The ring is absolutely gorgeous! ❤
This was a lovely video as well, beautifully edited & very enjoyable to watch. Thank you Levi 😊
Shelley did an awesome job with the stones, and it was fascinating watching Nicole create the ring. Lucky Louise! Fantastic video Levi. 🤩
What a heartwarming storyline. Well done, Levi and well deserved to your beautiful wife, Louise.
BUDDY!!!!! That’s a special ring for sure. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
What an amazing result, an incredible collaboration of hard core fossicking and talented artisans, bloody brilliant.
LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE SCORED ON THIS VIDEO. VERY NICE DOCUMENTARY ON THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM RIVER TO FINGER. ENJOYED THE BRILLIANT CRAFTSMANSHIP OF ALL INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS AND YOU CHOSE THEM WELL LEVI. AGAIN GREAT WORK ON THE VIDEO TO BRING IT ALL TOGETHER.
Now that was so beautiful, that look on your wife's face when she saw the end result will last you a lifetime. Well done as always Levi, and yes this one was tugging at my heart strings :) Stay well!
I love that in one of your earlier videos you mentioned that gold prospecting has given you a focus to manage your mental health issues and also the death of your brother! As a person with lifelong mental health issues when you find your happy place, wherever that is, it is so important to grasp it with both hands and feed it. That place will help carry you through the dark. Kia Kaha brother Kia Kaha
I have never seen the making of a ring before, all those trips into those beautiful places, and the outings with your family, all turned into a memorable piece, that holds so much. Content of your video was again top notch.
Cheers Deon
What a beautiful gift ❤️
I think everyone else comments sums up everything we wanted to say
Thank you for sharing this beautiful process for us.
Awesome job guys. What a beautiful family you have Levi. Thanks for sharing the awesome adventures with us around the world. Me my wife and children love your videos. We wish you guys the best! More successful adventures to come. God Bless 🙏🏼 and Cheers from California!
Thanks so much Tony
You really brought out some passionate emotions with this video Levi. A man's true show of love for his wife, very honorable
Man oh man oh man. It's taken me this long to watch this episode. It's beyond emotional, it's like I said before , make some jewelry for the Jewels. Much love always and please stay safe
You nailed it Levi! So much passion.
All the best from Germany.
Keep it going
The best I've seen- shows the entire process, withholding nothing of the details! I have collected gems, faceted hundreds of them, and even formed gold and silver to set them in finished products. I must watch again, just for the joy of it all. Great job on the video!
Thanks Richard glad you liked it cheers
I only just now watched the video about getting THE ring! It brought tears to my eyes. I know what it is to have a passion about something and see such wonderful experiences, accomplishments and brings love and a warm glow in your whole body every single day. Bravo for you, Levi and your lucky your wife REALLY supports you and how your children are included. A husband and father who let's say has a passion for golf. It is not an all inclusive family activity. For the better part of 30 years we went camping together over weekends, sitting around campfires, sharing our days fun. IRREPLACEABLE! I am so happy for you and yours. And you and I, both, will always remember daily the loved one we lost. Love your videos. I hope UTube doesn't change and deny me the opportunity to follow you. God be with you. Janice
What a beautiful and sentimental treasure to share with your beautiful wife. So cool to have turned your precious finds into something so beautiful. I so enjoyed this particular video. Thanks
OMG Lucky Louise. What a gorgeous ring made with so much sentiment. Levi all your hard work for such a beautiful gift for the woman you Love ❤️ makes it all worthwhile. Absolutely a lovely video.
The best thing I’ve watched in a very long time. Ever since you mentioned some time back that you were going to have some of the gold you found made into a ring, I have been looking forward to this. Even better to use a beautiful stone that you also found. The work of both ladies was amazing. What a personal gift and something that will be handed down through generations to come. Just brilliant. Thanks.
Thanks Nicholas glad you liked it cheers
Man Levi, I have not missed one of your video from the start. What a ring to be able to tell a story with the family. This one is by far one of the favorites. Keep that passion alive. And thank you for sharing it.
Thanks Charles for always tuning in appreciate it
A Wonderful Story. Lovely blending, editing, and weaving in the origin of the stones and gold combine to make the most exquisite ring. A beautiful ring for a beautiful lady. Thank you, Levi, for sharing this most treasured memory with us. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
What a beautiful thing you did Levi 🥰 Thank you for sharing this moment with us!
Amazing story telling as always Levi. This ring is extremely special! You found the raw material and put it all together with some talented help. So unique and sentimental for your beautiful wife 💍🙌
Thanks Nora we are stoked with the result it’s a great feeling to have something like this created from my efforts 😊
that's a very romantic gesture mate to hunt and gather then transform into a gift for your wife , well done respect levi
So elegant Levi, she loves that ring and that makes all the cold nights and suffering thru painful wet days worth it bro. Good job as a husband, father,and friend. Good prospecting to you and I hope you have heavy pans...
Thanks mate
Amazing story from being to end Levi, it’s great to see your videos every time they come out. The history and passion you bring is awesome 👏 and now a family heirloom that I’m sure Shelley will cherish. Just amazing Levi, Shelley and your children 😊
Really a beautiful ring! And so meaningful, that you found the stone as a family and Levi found the gold in nature.
Wow! How wonderful to combine your gemstones and gold into such a marvelous piece of art!
Man that's a heirloom piece Louise should be very happy. Good luck you two in life's journey stay strong together . By the way my mothers name is Louise.
Brilliant video , reminds of what I once had . I was in the same situation of what I had collected over 40 years of fossicking, stones , gold, this was taken from me when the safe I kept it in was stolen from a break in on our house. The most disappointing thing was that was 40 years of memories gone , so all you can do is get on with life and forget about what was once a thing I had . So well done Levi .
Beautiful story, Levi as a weekly and avid follower of every video you have ever put out there, through all your struggles highs and lows you make me feel as if I’ve been a little part of your adventures, you are such a kind thoughtful person, huge respect to both of you, looking forward to your next adventures, amazing ring, one of a kind,
Thanks Sean appreciate it cheers
That was such a good video. I loved how when you got the cut gems back from the gold coast, you were so excited you just opened them in the car! 😁
Thank you for sharing this with us.
It is a beautiful tribute to your spouse and your way of life...
Louise's ring is absolutely gorgeous!!...Good on you Levi... I look forward to seeing her necklace and other jewelry too..

Beautiful ring Levi! My father made my wifes wedding ring from gold that I panned and sniped from rivers in Southern Oregon.

Wow wow wow!! ...It's hard to believe an inanimate object can be given life, but still inanimate? ...The classic story of 'The Ugly Duckling' comes to mind, Well done mate that was an emotional back story to a beautiful transformation...Your brother will be proud looking down on you and your family ❤💯
Gday Levi.....thats got to be one of the best video presentations I've seen...some beautiful gems and gold turned into beautiful jewellery ...An awesome gift for your wife Louise...well done Mate
What a beautiful ring, and what an amazing journey from the river bed to finger. I can’t believe just how fabulous that blue topaz is and how it changed from a rough little stone to a faceted glimmering 💎. Wonderful video which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. ❤
Mate that’s epic. Thanks for sharing that little journey with us. Stunning ring bro. Simple but elegant. Good job🤙🤙
Fantastic video Levi. Its all about family and small businesses that put love into their work
Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures! What a moving backstory for the creation of a stunning heirloom for the ages! Best wishes from Virginia, USA
Ahh ha Levi, now my friend you are moving into my territory of Jewellery Making!! I feel quite pleased about that. Perhaps you could do a course in it and hopefully make some rings, pendants whatever you like from your gold. I see your wife prefers white gold. I, on the other hand just love the yellow of gold, because gold IS yellow colour. I love 18K, the yellow the better. Some things can be 22K and the gold colour is very rich, but sometimes it can be a little too soft for rings which need to be a bit more robust for wear and tear. It's so lovely that your whole family can enjoy this hobby. Get the boys into making. You might have budding little jewellers there. Are you planning to go for any more gold and gemstones. I can reliably tell you, this jewellery stuff gets into your veins - it did for me!
THANKS A MILLION FOR THE VIDEO - IT WAS GREAT!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I’d like to learn more and yes I should be getting the boys taught too 👍🏼👍🏼
As always you have made my day Levi. Every one in this video has excelled in their talents to achieve such a beautiful piece of art made from nature itself. WOW. Thank you all.
WOWZERS!!!
Such a precious thing of beauty. Thanks for letting us tag along on this special story. Made weep a little bit there. A love story in a love story, how cool is that? You two be blessed, more and more always. Hugs from Utah's Tusher Mt range, USA
Thanks Levi for sharing a wonderful video, that rolls all your efforts to this end result. May you both continue to lead a long and happy life.
Beautiful!!! Another awesome video with a great story. That ring will live in your family for generations..Cheers brother.
What a nice kind gesture for a lady his wife ,bless you both
Enjoyed watching your video. Absolutely beautiful ring. Great to see something that carries such a great story behind the process of finding the perfect minerals for such a special ring. Memories forever!😀😀😀😀
An amazing heart warming trip. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning gems and gold Louise is a lucky lady, I’ve had rings made for my wife from sapphires from Oz and Sri Lanka every one so special and treasured 💎
Good work Levi, a really meaningful result. Well done Shelley, Nicole & Rob. Bookmarked you both for our turn:)
Levi ,that was something incredibly special to watch,and listen to,your sense of emotion through your choice of music was out of this world mate truely emotional and evocative, thank you
Well done Levi. Your video presentation is wonderful and shows the complete story for our wonderful hobby. And your quiet nature creates respect. 👍
Lucky man, wonderful wife and kids and a fascinating hobby that you present beautifully. You could definitely be a film maker as well.
Appreciate it Scott cheers mate
Amazing work Levi 👏 congratulations on your achievement and engagement mate.
I too underwent an similar journey, discovering gems and gold, learning to facet them and eventually how to make Jewellery so I could turn it all into a ring for the wonderful woman I met along the way.
It’s an awesome feeling once it’s all accomplished
Absolutely love this video! Those jewelry artists are so gifted. We take for granted just how much is involved in making a single piece of jewelry. You just pick a ring up, put it on your finger, and go home. Paying for it of course! But then complain about or shocked by the price tag. Now I understand why some simple looking items are so expensive and so should everyone else! Your wife's ring is so gorgeous, and so very special. 👍❤
