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!

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?
Hi beautiful! Lately I'm struggling with getting enough money to invest on silversmithing or geting the time to practice... while time passes. Then, I see all the silversmithers and jewelry stores and think: this is impossible for me. But with your videos, with that dedication and love for what you do, you always give me the shot of motivation I need ❤️
@@SP-ig3vs Sometimes a jeweler will allow you to apprentice (be a slave & learn) highly recommended as long as long as you are learning how to do more than size rings....
WOOOOW! YOU DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB DEMONSTRATING HOW MAKE THIS RING. I LOVE NO TALKING OR VERY LITTLE TALKING TH-cam VIDEOS. AND IT WAS IT WAS SO SOOTHING. ❤🥰♥️
I'm just immensely grateful for the comprehensive list of resources in the description of the video!! Thank you for taking the time to do that!!! Beautiful work, all around!!!
It's my pleasure! I'm very happy that you find it useful, Nikki 🌺 When you have time, check out newer videos from the channel too, they often have some updated info and resources :)
I am so in love right now. What beautiful videography! Well done. I can honestly say I am no longer overwhelmed on where to start because of you. Life changing seriously no BS. ❤️
Finally somebody to give good step by step instructions and doesn't even have to talk to do it!!! Lol I am going to look through all your videos most definitely, I'm a newbie, are there any videos where you suggest what type of solder paste or what thickness of wire etc that you should use when making silver rings sterling silver of course..?
this video was beautifully shot and edited however, I wouldn't really call it a "how to" without voiceover giving explanations of what you're doing. I say that with love, no sass. lovely content!
Love the format of this video it makes the content enjoyable and easy to watch. Im so excited to get started but also scared. Im going to keep watching videos though.
Thank you! Aww, you've noticed! It's those small details that I think aren't much noticable :P But a joy for me to edit with the music into the video :D
what gauge did you use for the band? LOVE that size and thickness but everything ive been ordering is way smaller and thinner than expected (im still a beginner). thank you!!
The beautiful Basia! 😊 TH-cam hasn't had u in my news feeds for the longest time 😡 but now I made sure I made sure my bell was on so that will never happen again lol 😉. Gorgeous ring 👌 I don't think iv seen such a nice faceted Labradorite cabachon like this befor. Facets really make it pop even more! Hopefully I will get all your videos now like u wad befor!

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I know. Alot of other people I follow had vanished from there too, but I seen I hadn't got my bell on for all notifications so it was my fault haha but I fixed that now an hopefully I will get all your videos again.. May I say your editing and video style has improved, it's very artistic 👌 not sayin your old videos were bad, bcoz I like you talkin in some of your older videos but I got a cool Pablo vibe to This one, I'm sure u will love that compliment 😉. Take care Basia an I will see u onel the next one now ha
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️ I've put the solder in 3 or 4 spots, close to the bezel, so when it melts, it will run around the edge and cover the entire space where the bezel touches the backplate :)
This was so relaxing... i want to start making jewlery but i have no idea how!! I gotta learn... do you know any handy book that would help me? Thanks❤️bdw the ring is beautiful
Thank you so much Nika! Glad you've enjoyed watching it :) Check out my video about the books here: th-cam.com/video/CXi-8cdZbNI/w-d-xo.html And there's also a few videos about different channels and profiles worth following :) Basically check out my channel in general, it's mostly videos about how and where to learn haha :D
What is the correct way to accurately measure the band size for ring wire that you attach to the back of a bezel that’s in a C shape instead of a closed circle band?
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 😊
@@Ken_Dalton thanks so much for replying. I also think the metal would have to be soft enough to hold tight and wrap around and I use floss for the measurement. it makes it easy too as well as reusing it.
@@ManypossibilitiesGaoLY yes metal would have to be soft of annealed. But I usually use fine silver for bezel which is always super soft anyway. The floss is a good trick too, an comes in handy so. U domt get your stone stuck in the bezel when tea fitting 😉 haha You're very welcome, I'm glad I could help u out a little 😊
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?
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.
This is a nice edited video with beautiful music. Well done. But it’s not a tutorial for those who are wondering, who want to learn. This is showing the 5% out of 100% of what needs to be done with the metal and solder to make a piece of jewelry. Just saying.
I actually experimented with the solder paste! My thoughts are - it's excellent for small details, but not for shanks and larger pieces, for that regular solder and flux is the best 😀 So currently I will solder the shank using chips of solder and I use sweat soldering technique when the shank is large and wide
Is there any way to remove the bezel from the backplate once soldered in place? I’m having issues with the solder seam on the bezel coming apart while soldering to the backplate. I am using fine silver bezel wire and hard solder but it just keeps coming apart. Help please😫
It's a modern birth stone for Leo sign, but it is also a general purpose stone. Very good as a palm stone! I keep mine close but, love to hold it when need some grounding. I'd say that everybody an wear it, of course ❤️
Hello what is the name of the tube ? I want to buy one to meansure diameter of ring . I dont speak to much english help me pls. Tube name in english i want to buy thank you
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thank you so much for your reaction! I'm going to search on Etsy an Cooksongold too now. Keep up making those beautiful videos and jewerly! :)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing May I ask you one more question? What kind of elastic cord do you use for bracelets? I bought one kind, but it broke really fast (even though it had quite good reviews on amazon).. Thank you! :)
I know, it's really hard to tell, especially when buying online. I used one that I bought from a bead shop in Glasgow, they also sell online: www.mylerscrystals.com/1mm-super-strong-elastic-50-metre-roll--colour-white-13787-p.asp 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. xxx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thank you again for your reaction and tips! :) I'm going on the search for my perfect cord (the shipping costs for me for this cord is 10 pond, so that's not worth it) and I'm going to use your tips! :)
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
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.
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.
It looks like you really know what your doing. But this video teaches me nothing. I don’t know what products and tools you used or why. I would need you to explain what your doing and what your using and give tips in order to be able to do this.

Thank you so much! :) So it's a fine silver bezel stripe, I believe 28 gauge? Very thin and soft
Where dis you buy all your Tools?
Hello, what is the name for the white tool that you show in the beginning?and what liquid you put in?
it's a borax cone and dish to create the flux. You add water and then move the cone around to create the paste - flux to use for soldering! :)
Hi! I was wondering what the gauge/width of the ring band you are using? thank you :)
I believe it was something around 2mm x 6mm, or 1.6 x 5mm, something like this :)

Hi, that’s a beautiful ring! Can you tell me or send the link for the torch you are using? Thanks 😃
Thank you so much! :) I'm using Dremel, it's been great for years now, since I got it! Would definitely recommend as a smaller hand torch
Beautiful ring! What size stone did you use here?
I beliebe it was about 4cm? I don't rememebr exactly, sorry!
Does the stone sit in there by itself? Do you use anything to glue it in there?
yes, I haven't used any glue
Hello, what tool are you using at 4:52?
It's a pusher (bezel rocker) for setting the stone, with rounded tip, that helps to push the bezel around the stone
