Making A Ruby Incline Ring: A Silversmithing Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2023
- This video tutorial shows me making a modern and bold sterling silver ring featuring a beautiful Emerald Cut Synthetic Ruby. The materials I used were: 18 gauge sterling sheet, 22 gauge sterling sheet, and 3/16 inch 26 gauge fine silver bezel strip. This one includes the basic steps to build an open backed bezel setting for a faceted stone. As always I am using exclusively hard silver solder, and I use My-T-Flux from Rio Grande. I would rate this one as an intermediate project. This video is a bit longer, but is a detailed 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?

I've been a metal smith for a while. What I think that everyone should take from your vids, which are awesome, is that you don't use/need a bunch of expensive tools to make beautiful jewelry!
Thank you so much Patsy Cakes! I’m really glad that is the message I’m getting out:). Expensive tools are nice to have, but not necessary for a lot of stuff! I appreciate the nice comment!
I watched this earlier on my big screen tv but had to come back here and say thank you! I picked up a few good pointers in this one.
I better get a manicure if people watch these on the big screen:). Thank you Ms.C2222!
@@chadssilversmithing haha no need, ours are probably not much better🤣
I really like this ring Chad. I think I'll make this my next silver project. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them.
Thanks Tim. Doing these is helping to push me out of my rut, which is never a bad thing. Post a pic on the Discord server when you're done. I'd like to see it.
Great video, I never thought of layering the ring it’s a very nice design. Thanks so much.
Thanks Pat! I have never really done one like this before, but it was fun to do:)
Soooooo PRETTY 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 you need a LOVE button. I love the hint to file corners to make them lay down better! You GO CHAD !!! Hints I can use.
Glad it was useful Ma Wi.
Out of everything I've watched you make, this is my fave. Although I'm sure one of your other pieces will soon take its place. Thanks again Chad and take care.
Thanks! I kind of like how the stone hovers over the lower band.
I love this new ring!
Thanks Chad 🌺🤙🏻❤️
Thanks Paula! This one was fun for me because
I've never made one quite like this before. Thank you for your nice comment!
Thanks I see a lot of different ideas in my head on this one
Thanks OldSchool! I was pleased with how this turned out:)
OMG Chad this is a great next project for me! I got my basics from taking in person classes from our local fine arts center but your videos have really taken me to the next level with ease.
I'm so glad these are helping you Linda!
Thanks for great content and making learning easy. Beautiful ring.
Absolutely Sheri! I’m glad you are finding them useful. Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I love that you are very simple in explaining things and that you use mostly the same things to make each piece. It makes it very easy for me as a beginner to understand what you are doing and the supply list doesn’t break the bank. I also like that you are doing a variety of beginner and intermediate pieces so it keeps it challenging.
Thanks Fitfarmingmomma! The best comments I get are when someone lets me know they are finding these useful or inspiring. Thank you for watching:)
Brilliant, very nice work Chad.
Thanks Fred! I appreciate the nice comment:). Take care!
Beautiful. I did one kinda like that. Looks awesome.
Thanks Angie's By Kim! Im glad you liked it. Id love to see the one you did. Send me a pic to my Instagram. Thanks for watching:)
OMGOSH HOW BEAUTIFUL!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! IM TRYING TO GET UR PATREON ALSO!!!
Thanks Denae! I appreciate your nice comment. Here is a link to the Patreon:

When you are soldering the bezel, is your flame at it's highest? I have burned many a bezel. Big fan of the channel. I look forward to all of your new projects because you are so easy to follow. I LIKE CHAD.
Thanks Terri! Not usually at the highest; more midrange. Keep practicing, they get routine after 30 or 40 bezels:)
Ahhh, nice Saturday morning with a cup of coffee and a new juicy red ruby project from Chad; perfection! Chad, do you hallmark your work?
Mostly rings. I need to do a better job on other stuff. Sometimes hard to find a good spot.
Happy Sabbath. ✝️🙏
@@chadssilversmithing you're great point is soldering rings (stuff) we wear. I kinda laugh at your lack of confidence sometimes, tho' I love your work. If your sawing is bad, mine's disastrous. 🥺 I'd LOVE to see how you Flex Shaft it back to where you want it. 💋💋💋 Don't think we expect perfection. However, you're pretty darn good, Chad.
Niccce! thanks for the idea about the sleeve. I need to beef up a ring with a wide band for a man and need texture on it. Going to solder some scrap triangle shaped silver on band and roll it out. Did you go up about 2 ring sizes for outer sleeve?
Thanks Kimberley! Probably closer to 3 sizes. I’d make it bigger and then trim ends until the bezel fits perfectly between them. Send me a pic to my Instagram when you are done so I can see:)
Also, do you have a video setting a teardrop with a chevron shaped prong on the point? I saw some garnets set that way, recently.
Not yet Ma Wi. I have yet to try that type of setting.
I have the perfect stone for a similar project. Slightly smaller though.
What kind of stone is it Lois?
@chadssilversmithing chad, its a 6 x 3mm garnet
@@loisr1560 That should turn out very pretty!
@chadssilversmithing i have progress photo on my instagram. Outer ring is a lot thinner than yours.
Do you use hard solder most all the time?
Hello Linda. Yes, with the exception of the final pin on hinges or final soldering operation on spinner rings. You can probably add the filigree ball that I just did to the list as well, as I used it for the final solder on it.
If i wanted to polish a giant white agated quartz the shape of a giant kidney stone the size of my palm with a flex shaft from Amazon, what bits do I need to make sure that I get? They seem to come with wood working bits.
I'm not the best person to give you advice on this, but diamond flex shaft bits aren't too expensive. This would be for shaping it. You might need to do it wet to prevent overheating in some way. Not sure how people hand polish things like this. I'm certain someone on TH-cam has a tutorial about hand stone polishing, so they might be better to ask.
Question I want to taper underside of inner band and out band to compensate for short fingers. Can you give pointers?
Thanks for the good question Linda. I would just cut the inner band the same basic shape as the other one when I make it, or you could use a jeweler's saw to cut a taper into it:)
@@chadssilversmithing thanks Chad that’s what I was thinking. I tapered the band on the amethyst too it makes it mor comfortable to wear.
@@lindahamlik6023 I taper a lot of the wide ones too:)
