The dreaded bezel separation! Unfortunately, sometimes it happens. Thanks for the quick fix video. It will come in handy.
Drove me crazy when I first started:)
Great trick for that wide split bezel 👍 I use an inverted cone bur to clean up the inside of bezels, I find they get all the way to he very bottom and make a crisp inside edge at the meniscus. They are really helpful when a stone just won't seat all the way down. As usual, excellent tips, Chad.
Good idea Flying Chef! I’ll try one of those next time. Thank you for the good advice!
Thanks for this tip, I’m definitely going to use it, too!
Thank you for this quick fix! Much appreciated!
You're welcome TRMccracken!
This is super useful info, I have these kinds of issues with bezels and now I understand why it happens and what to do to fix them.. I really appreciate your videos Chad.
I had it happen frequently when I was pretty new to this.
glad it is helping you:)
Great tips, Chad. I had this problem, often when I first started, so I bought some Noflo, I think it’s just yellow ochre. Paint it on the seam or area you are worried about overheating. Works great!
Great tip! I will have to try that sometime:)
I use water-based correction fluid, less messy than ochre or noflo.
What a great and useful video! Thank you so much.
I’m glad you found it useful Nora! Thanks for the comment:)
Thank you sooo much for your amazingly helpful videos!! This one just saved me a lot of time and energy. I appreciate you so much 😄
You’re welcome Meredith! This was a problem I had frequently at first:)
Thank you Chad! You are the best ❤
Aww, shucks!
This is really a great video, what a great tip to just add a piece of bezel strip to fill up that space. Thanks Chad
Thanks Marietta! I appreciate the kind words. Take care:)
Thanks Marietta! I appreciate the kind words. Take care:)
Thank you Chad. I'm a newbie and my solder flowed out of my bezel after on the back plate. Gonna give your suggestions a try.
Thank you for the nice comment! I hope it helps solve your issue:)
Thank you! I’m sure this tip will help save a piece one day 😊
You’re welcome Heather! Thank you for watching:)
🙏🙏🙏👍👍❤️
Great video. I was taught to fuse 26g bezels, but melt about 1 out of 4 trying to fuse them. I've gone through about 25% of your excellent videos, but don't see a video as detailed as this on figuring out how high the bezel should be for more complex stones like rose cut, slices, bullet cut stones, etc. Can you do a detailed video just on calculating both easy for newbies and odd cut stone bezels for advanced beginner jewelry students?
Thanks S P! Fusing consistently is pretty hard to do. I will try to add something about setting weird stuff and judging how high to set things soonish. Bullet shapes don't like to sit still in bezels:)
Great tips, thanks so much.
You’re welcome Pat!
Nice work gold ring 💍🙏
Thanks. I’ve never worked with gold. Do you exclusively work in gold?
Thank you. You are a wealth of practical knowledge. I hope more people discover your videos.
What a truly nice thing to comment! Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching!
Always good to find ways to get out of the problems we create for ourselves. Cheers. Jim
Thank you Jim! Take care!
Very helpful!
I’m glad you found it useful Linda! Thanks for the nice comment:)
@@chadssilversmithing 🙂
very helpful!
I’m glad Ms.C2222! Thanks for watching!
Perfect timing. Just had this happen. Grrrrrr. So annoying. I usually add a little extra solder to seam when soldering down to base. Will give your tips a try. Thanks, Chad!
Sure Kim. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant
Aww, Shucks! Thanks for watching Sandra:)
Thank you for this video. My problem I keep having is the decorative wire or beaded wire that surrounds the bezel will split. It is tough to figure out how to fix it as it is so evident. Suggestions or advice would be much appreciated!:)
Hmmm. If it has pulled apart where it is soldered together, if you can get the piece to the temperature where all the solder is liquified, you should be able to nudge it back into position with your pick or if you need to, pick some extra solder where it has split to rejoin them. If there is a gap, you may have trouble picking a piece of solder into the spot because it doesn’t like to fill in empty space. Sometime soon, I will do a video about nudging things back into position under the flame:). Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video for that awesome smooth shine?I am having little mounds in some of my work.Thanks!!
Hello Sacredsounds:). Here are two videos that should help: th-cam.com/video/IvSeAi_D9T0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tDx8Fn3YdxEmI-_a and th-cam.com/video/OpllnTnspTM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RuuLv7vJvI06dtzP
What if you chipped the bezel while the stone is in the bezel and ring? Do you have to take the stone out?
If you need to do more soldering to fix something on the ring, you’ll need to remove the stone Ty. I hope this answers your question:)
Just wondering, is there ways to fix the split with the stone in it?
Hello Cynthia! Unfortunately, I don't know of one. Thanks for the comment:)
I’ve bought various “cooling gels” that are supposed to allow you to leave the stone in the bezel, while soldering. They never work.
🌺🤙🏻🤗
Thanks Paula!
Hello friends ❤️ have a great day
