    Hi my dear viewers, fellow makers and smiths! I hope you enjoy this video, where I make silver Labradorite ring by hand. If you're learning, you can see how to make a ring with bezel and set the stone. here's another video I think you'll love! Making a ring in the forest:

      Stardust Mine Jewellery - I love your videos! I’ve been silversmithing for a little over a year now, still learning techniques and how to use different materials, I’m self taught so it’s all trial and error, haha. Lately I’ve been trying to use this bezel style, but it’s sooo difficult to set! Even using a hammer it almost doesn’t budge, so I’ve been sticking with gallery wire. Do you have any tips on how to make this type of bezel easier to set?

      By hand, simply holding it tight to the stone will get u where u need to be. At first I started to measure but theres really no need, the more u do it this way u will get used to it, just cut it on the thin side rather than larger, bcoz u can always stretch up a fine silver bezel pretty easily if it's slightly too tight rather than being too loose.. I hope this helps u out 😊

    @jirimazanek5498 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Impressive! I've been struggling with calculating a proper wire lenght for the ring as the final dimension is several mm shorter than needed when I use formula for calculating the circumference of the circle. I guess that thickness of the wire plays a role in it. Is there any trick ho to calculate it properly?

    • @mar13tina
      @mar13tina 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I hope this reply doesn't come too late. What you're looking for is the neutral fibre/neutral axis. Example: you want to set a round stone with a 5mm diameter. The wire you want to wrap around is 1mm thick. So the wire circle will have an inner diameter of 5mm and an outer diameter of 7mm. What you need for your wire length is the middle of this diameter, in this case 6mm multiplied by pi (~3.14). The official formula is [inner diameter] + [wire thickness] × π or [outer diameter] - [wire thickness] × π.
      If you have an oval shape, you convert it into a circle first in order to apply this formula. So if you have a stone that is 6mm wide and 8mm long, it would be a 7mm circle.

      I used one called "clear" too, but it was slippery and wouldn't hold well. Also, it lost its strength super quickly! So I prefer the "white" one. And I always use at least double cord (can fit well in most beads that have 1mm hole). Using beading needle really helps, too.

      That's so true! I use floss too. It's important to never put the stone in before everything is ready and all steps finished. Here however I've put the stone in, as it was ready be se set in :)

      I'm not sure what you mean? I've placed the cabochon in the bezel and then closed the walls around it, making sure everything fits well and the stone doesn't move. Is that what you had in mind? I hope this helps, thank you for watching! ❤️

    Love it! Quick silly question, the solder paste that you used to attach the ring to the bezel, is that easy silver solder? I take it the solder used for the actual ring and bezel is medium, is that correct? Sorry for these silly questions

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Andy! :D There are no silly questions!! Yes, that's exaclty the easy solder paste. I've been using the hard and easy ones lately and I've used easy one to solder the ring to the bezel. For the bezel and ring I've used hard solder from the strip. I don't use medium one. I do have it but I hated working with it, it wouldn't flow and just wasn't good for me. I will give it another go though, to check if maybe I was doing something wrong :) So most of the time I use hard and easy solder!

      @@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thanks for the feedback! I still need to give the hard solder a try, so far I've only played with the medium and recently bought easy paste to play with making earrings.

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No worries, glad I can help a little :) I like easy one because it's...easy ;)) And can be used for smaller work, too. Hard one is used mostly if there is more soldering needed, so first joints are soldered with hard, then medium, then easy for example. But hard solder feels more sturdy. It's not much more difficult to use or melt than easy solder, I don't really feel the difference.
