- Somebody got their wedding ring stuck on their finger! It was then cut off and removed. Don't worry, the finger is just fine! The ring on the other hand needed some repairs. This video shows the step by step process to repairing a ring cut off of a finger. This process also includes the steps to size the ring larger.

I couldn't believe it when I saw my dad's wedding ring for the first time since he had cut it off. I legitimately thought he bought a new wedding band . It's beautiful and I really enjoyed seeing the process of it being restored. Thank you so so much for restoring his wedding band.
Thanks Victoria! I wasn't originally planning on filming this repair, but I'm so glad I did! I'm happy your father has his wedding ring back good as new.
How much did this cost ?
@@notryan7399 rude
The Adventures of Maverick and Red it can be seen as rude but if this person has the same problem and wants to know how much it could cost to get their ring fixed.
@@notryan7399 He replied below that it would be between 100-300 Dollars :)
Thank you so much Jordan, Damon couldn't stop looking at his renewed, well fitting ring all weekend. Loved seeing the process!
You're so welcome! Very happy you loved it.
My dad was a machinist and had a pretty uhh... "graphic" injury to his finger which left his wedding band cut open and twisted. Once he was all healed up my parents went to a jewelry store planning to sell the gold from the old ring and buy a new one, but without skipping a beat the jeweler said "What if we melted down the old ring and used it in the new one?". My parents had never even thought of that. Very cool.
Machinists don't wear jewelry for this reason.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 true. Which her dad should know.
Yep. Leave the jewellery for the ladies. Rings are an amputation waiting to happen on any worksite.
@@forsaken7161 True. Note the "was a machinist" and not "is currently a machinist"
Ring avulsion? 🤢
Well done my friend. I’ve been a goldsmith for over 35 years. Your narration is excellent especially for a customers perspective. Cheers!
agree.
it is an excellent video.
I was lucky enough to inherit my great grandmother's wedding band. She and my great grandfather got married during the great depression, so they didn't have rings. Years later, their daughter (my grandma) married a jack of all trades, who just happened to work with gold. So, one day he made my great grandmother a wedding band.
She wore that ring until right before her death- it was cut off in the hospital, and she immediately gave it to my mother to put aside for the day I got married. When my son gets married, I'll offer it to his bride either for her to wear or to put aside for their kids.
It's nothing fancy- just a simple gold band. The history it carries makes me feel like a piece of so many of my family members is with me today. ❤️
Neat
That’s beautiful
@@keziahjose5906 Thank you! I'm pretty happy with it too! 💜
@@LaynieFingers You are so lucky to have an heirloom. I've always wanted something in my family from the past given to future generations. Just being able to tell the backstory of something like that is wonderful.
@@depressantdrug It really is. It's not worth that much money, but the sentimental value is priceless.
You make this look so easy! But this comes from YEARS years of experience. Thank you for sharing this.
So simple of a ring. But a masterful repair. Well done! I wish my city has ring repairers like you!
Thanks for explaining everything as you go. I enjoyed learning the process and why you do things certain ways.
Your manage to provide just the right amount of information to be interesting and educational without being overwhelming and your voice is so soothing.
Your channel is very well done. Your calm demeanor and clear explanations are perfect for an aspiring metalsmith. I especially enjoy the repair videos. Bringing ones prized piece back to life is truly satisfying. Good job.
Like others have posted in these comments, I enjoy your format of narrating your work after you've taken the video. It seems to flow much better than when others explain AS they work. I'm a new subscriber and I'm loving your videos.
“Metal bending pliers” *toph has entered the chat* lol
Underrated comment! 💪👌
She doesn't need those thoXD
Awesome Jordan! The narration is adding a lot to the experience. 🙏
Learned a lot - this process is very detailed oriented and lots of patience. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome work as always, your videos/voice-overs get better with every upload. Watching you work is fascinating
Thank you! Hope the video tomorrow is even better....haha!
I really enjoy these well narrated videos a lot! Thanks for sharing
5 star man, you always do great work. I appreciate the detail that you put into your videos, I know that takes time as well.
It takes a lot of time but I'm always happy I invested it. Thanks for following along!
I love the detailed commentary with all the technical terms! Please do more of these
5 hours from now a new video will be released. :)
Every time I watch one if your videos, I learn something new. You are awesome, great job 👍👍👍
Does anyone else find these videos relaxing and satisfying?
Beautiful work. I considered repairing a gold ring myself but after seeing the craftsmanship involved and the end result, I think I'll leave it to the professionals. Thanks for the video.

For those who are interested, cold working the gold refines the grains, makes smaller grains. Which makes it brittle, since cracks can propagate through the smaller grains easier than a courser microstructure. So after rolling, it’s some X% deformed. The higher the “X% deformed” the more easily you can anneal the gold. This is due to a thermodynamically more stable state. In this case, having smaller grains equates to a larger grain boundary area, which is less stable, thermodynamically. Hence when heated it will re-crystallize (anneal) to lower the grain boundary area, making it less brittle.
Just so we are clear, and not to sound pedantic, but it must be noted that gold is NEVER brittle. There is never a time when you can drop gold on the floor and it will shatter or break. When gold is worked, it is primarily the copper or nickel alloy mixed with the gold that hardens. Take a wire hanger and bend it back and forth, eventually it breaks. This is because every time it is bent the hardness increases until it reaches a point of fracture. The same is with the alloy of gold. However, the higher the karat of gold, the longer it takes to harden because it contains less alloy and pure gold is quite a soft malleable metal which is highly resistant to hardening.
beautiful!
so much skill involved.
tks 4 posting.
I've watched so many videos about sizing a gold ring, and this is the right way of doing it, I learnd it a long time ago. Follow this jeweler, he's a good one.
“Aaand flip!” I love that 😂💕 and also the whole process was so satisfying
Great restoration. Jewelers always saving the day! ❤
Your channel and your presence makes me super happy and inspired me x thank you for sharing. I'm learning and have always been passionate about jewellery, watching videos like this gives my mind a creative break while learning through relaxing content. Bless 🌸 May everyone have a ✨golden✨ day coupled with the joy that buttered cinnamon honey toast gives you xo! Or just butter, heck just drink melted butter. Thank you for the videos, goldsmith man of modern ways and days.
So informative, gold work hardens and can be annealed and there is gold solder, who knew. I thought I did not know anything about jewellery but I do now, thank you 😊
That is so cool 😎. My dad was a Jewellery repair man. I use to watch him all the time while growing up
My husband was so happy to get his ring back. Thank you for all of your hard work on this!
Great work and the quality was first class!
I did not know that you needed to anneal gold after working it. I spent my first years of my work in the metal industry as a moulder in a foundry (ferrous and non-ferrous), with some experience in metallurgy - this is an eye opener learning for me... an excellent presentation - thank you for helping me build my knowledge.
Great job, I’m just learning how to be a jeweler I follow what you do and it works out. Thank you.
Great video! Excellent instructions. I always wanted to be able to do what you do.
Thanks for the video and excellent commentary, I am not a jeweller but like observing this ancient art.
Thanks for watching!
This was so satisfying to watch
Im really loving your videos! You do amazing work. Im excited for more videos
Great work. So interesting to See the whole process
Global A thanks for your time and comment!
Amazing to watch!
This was very insightful and strangely relaxing
Beautiful 😍 amazing work
Wow. That was really cool. Thanks for sharing.
This was very interesting and enjoyable to watch
Wish my dad's ring could of been repaired. He found a ring that he uses as a wedding band now. He keeps the pieces of the original ring in his wallet.
If he still has the pieces, you can still ask a goldsmith for the possibilities.
@@jlammetje I'll ask Dad and see if he would consider a ring repair. It's been a dream of mine to make it happen.
If not a repair, then maybe the gold can be used to make him a new ring
@@brittanyb.300 Even if you don't want another ring made can get a pendant made from the remaining pieces and keep some of it original. if the rings totalled then you could still do something with the remaining stones and melt down the gold.
I hope you can get it done, you may need to ask your dad if you can steal it for a little bit and give him a surprise. Or if hes now down for that then maybe you can show him a few designs of remade vintage Jewellery? Old Jewellery is often remade into something wearable.
I kept all my grandpa's cabochon rings to wear and melted down all his other pieces that I'd never wear.
I've made them into a 9k gold wire spool that I can cut into individual rings then make a chain from. knowing me I'll probably remelt it down and add more gold and make something else. In the end it'll still have my grandpa's gold and memories :).
@@KyleTO7 That's a fabolous idea. Thanks Kyle! That's cools you remade something good from your grandpa's rings. I too have inherited some jewelry, but from my granny Billie. Most is costume, some is some is gold, pieces are from her lover. I'll definitely talk to my dad about his ring, when I drive back home to Texas.
This was so satisfying to watch and learn from. Fascinating work
As I understand it, you are a jeweler, if so, then I hope my videos will be useful to you.
Hi Jordan, thank you so much for the informative video. It’s helped me so much. Do you need to find where the original solder join is before adding in the new piece of gold? Would you protect the original join from the heat when you solder in the new piece?
Many thanks again 😊
awesome restoration
Looking for that perfect comfort zone in today's world is a nice yet rare quality. Too big, it falls off, too small, it hurts but when you hit it perfectly! AHH just right! Your work looks great also!
Very nicely done.
Amazing talent
Those files look really really nice. Got me feeling some kinda way
Well done John.
Wow that’s looks amazing 🤩
Thanks, answered several questions.
Thank you for the great tips and for sharing your knowledge. I hope your rolling mill is bolted fast by now. :)
I cried a little inside for that pretty ring setting that got recycled. Such a classic twist setting.
That's why you never sell your jewelry.
This is what happens to it.
Very well done.
This is amazing!!!
I love that you don't short cut 👏👏👏
Nice work
Good work
Very nicely done my good sir 👍
This is a very interesting job, it was interesting to see how the ring is repaired.
Only I'm just wondering who collects all these small chips of gold after cutting and sawing with a file ...
It’s been a while, but if you still want to know: when I made my own ring at a gold smiths workshop, they have these leather „bags“ that catch all the dust you lose while sawing and filing fixed onto/under the table.
@@lilacwitch69 Thank you.
I was expecting to hear something like this.
Nice job id love someone this talented to fix my Nan's ring has the same problem she's passed the band is a lot thinner then yours but id like to try get it fixed to keep it in the family💯
Nice job , I miss my days working at service merchandise as a goldsmith.
My Gran has had her ring sizes increased many times as her arthritis progresses. It's nice to see how it's done.
I feel for your grandma. Maybe she can wear her rings on a necklace.
Why did I genuinely enjoy the look of the cut ring? It would be a fun idea to make a canyon ring with a clear resin pour in the gap
I thought the same. I would wear it with the cut or like you said with resin.
you've been watching too many art videos
I don't think the crayon wild adhear very well in warmer or colder or wetter climates. Crayon is not a good adhesive and it's quite volatile.
@@nicanonymus2491 I wore my great grandma's wedding ring with it cut for a while. You'd be surprised just how often the ring will flex and then pinch the bejeezus out of you!
@@LaynieFingers 🤣 You’re absolutely right. And you will rip every cardigan. But it looks cool. 😎
Recycling🙌🙌 Love the videos when you explain everything
Julia Andersson recycling is where it’s at!!
I agree this awesome!
you're amazing!!
Thank you
Good job. Nice vid
Fascinating
Wow. Thanks for the great video. Now I know what will happen to mine. ☺️
Very Nice video! 👌
I cut it directly from that broken part of and round it in the rounding shape and press down and solder it. That ingots are good they never let airbubbles threw the material but the roots are everytime there 😂
Awesome 👏
Nifty. Thanks.
You should keep this outro. It suits your personality, cool and jazzy yet level headed.
Words fail to describe how enjoyable that was to watch! Excellent work and I look forward to seeing more of your skill due to me subscribing to your channel. I love making things and I have made a lot of jewelry of many types but I can learn a great deal from you. Thanks for sharing your journey. CHEERS!
Fascinating....
Very nice
What happens to the little bits and dust that comes off when you are grinding and such?
Theres a leather pouch under the bench, kind of like an apron that catches all of that, you clean it out when you switch between different metals so you dont contaminate say gold with silver or platinum.

@@galli0 Thanks for the insight :D
25 years in the trade, also run a magnet through the filings to remove broken saw teeth etc,...I have to say this guy is self taught, slow.
@@banjopete thanks for the info, but I don't see any reason to rag on the maker
@@banjopetedifferent process when you're literally making a video for youtube...safe to say hed work differently if he wasnt going for decent camera angles etc.
Like magic!
I came here to have some funny comments about divorces, but the comment's section is so positive, that I'm not even disappointed
Good job and I hope the best for you
My precious!
Dang Your Good With Your Hands
So cool
Love your videos. Those cylinder burs you’re using, where could I get them?
Do you ever work with platinum bands? I’m curious to see how it’s like the process. I often heard it needs a different process and toolset to get it fixed
Really great video...tell me what fuel are you using in your torch??
nice!
my precious!
How much would it cost to repair a ring the way you did in this video? Your work seems very impressive. I broke a brand new 14 my gold ring that I was trying to enlarge by one size bigger. It cracked evenly like a clean cut. It was a similar band only for a lady. Thank you!
Great job. Where do you learn how to work with jewelry or maybe you have some tips for people who interested in this topic and want to start doing jewelry.
I apprenticed under a few different master goldsmiths. I have a simple tutorial video coming out tomorrow. I hope to do more!
What was the original weight of the ring vs what did it weigh after you ground a bunch off then polished again?
Another great video! I appreciate you guiding us through the steps. But did you remove the inscription on the inside? I can see something written at 07:44
MrTwansel good eye! That would be the quality stamp (14kt) I made sure not to remove it. It’s generally stamped pretty deep into the gold and is hard to remove accidentally.
So can you educate us on how much something like this cost or how much it is to have our gold melted down to make new pieces
theres a few variables. the karat of gold, how much material is required for the repair, individuals labor costs etc. melting down metal also is a tricky process. generally you only want to melt down the same karat and colour metal...you caaaan melt different things but you end up with a random karat of gold and it can be quite unstable to work with 😉
what kind of flux do you use please? it is the same as used with tin soldering?
Cool
I really like the ending music
What kind of brand flux did you use? Greetings from Finland nice work
