@@ianogilvy1 I don’t know that sorry

No worries I appreciate the fast response, your video is very useful

No worries mate happy to help

Have just tried this on 4mm round wire and it works a dream! A big thumbs up!

what kind of trouble? soldering or laser?

Hi ya yes this can definitely be done u need to play around with the laser settings u may need to up the milliseconds so the laser beam stays on the metal longer for a better weld becauseu are dealing with a higher ct Hope this helps

It’s really hard to say with out seeing the ring but in theory yes keep an eye on the setting the stone might need to be tightened afterwards What ct is the white gold ?

This video was made for people that want to make jewellery as more of a hobby and don’t have the time or the equipment to make a ring from scratch your more than welcome to make a video how to made one and I’ll share the link here Buy a signet stamping , turn it up and solder it Is a bit of rubbish head line

And someone who knows what there talking about will know this isn’t a casting but a stamping let me check your channel and leave you some comments the only difference between me and you is that I would leave a positive comment because I believe in supporting other jewellers not mild trolling

Thank u mate I really appreciate that

Yes just use silver laser wire or use silver solder pull it down to a very fine wire

Hi ya I use the casting company for my moulds it all depends on where u r based if your in the uk I can recommend u some casters

Hi sorry I made this years ago and I had to take the site down due to the cost in time to maintain but wanted people to still lean so left the videos up here

Hi Dordi this video wasn’t made with the intention to offend your Goldsmithing skills it was made for people just starting out as u well know to hand make one would take at least 4 hours then I would have to edit the video after this for KZbin my friend people want quick videos I’m not doin an online course because as u well know u have to learn one on one I think the main reason u left this comment was to look like u have far superior knowledge which you may well have. so I looked on your Channel to see what videos you made and u haven’t made any If you want to make one I can put it up on my Channel so it’ll get views (because u don’t have any content on urs) or I can share ur Channel to my followers and ur signet video Im all about learning and sharing it was very difficult to get a good apprenticeship when I went for mine and it’s even harder now and I really believe that the majority of colleges and courses I’m not fit for purpose This Chanel was made for people to dip there toe in the world of jewellery making to see if it’s for them and then find there own way There is a bad practice among craftsman online where they think they can just leave a negative comment on a video or post when in the back of there heads they think making that comment to there followers / customers they will gain there followers/ customer and it just isn’t the case The head line to this video is a hook granted I’ll put my hands up to that one and dordi my mate it is from cooksons I’ve said that in past comments and I always recommend cooksons but there is 1 thing it’s 9ct not 14ct we don’t tend to use 14ct in the uk The reason for 9ct was because it was what the customer could afford not sure if ugly is the right word but it’s your opinion I could re-title this video to how to make a signet ring on a budget but that’s a bit crap ain’t it really To be fair tho you’ve had a dig at my video and and I’ve had a dig at ur comment I don’t no if u r in London but if u r when the pubs praise God open up I would genuinely would like to buy u a beer I’m always up for a jewellery chat

@@markjeweller Okay, I see your point. I do not want to offend your skills, if you feel I do, I genuinely apologise. What I want to achieve - fruitlessly, I know - is to keep people away from all these blanks and pre-made settings and all the rest. Once you are able to make these things yourself, you will never look back. It is a freedom that cannot be bought. We - goldsmiths - should also get away from the dictum that time is money because it is absolutely incorrect. Take your time to make something. Make it over and over. Think about design. A lot of people can make utter crap perfectly well. That is not where the challenge lies. Perhaps you think otherwise, but the best advice ever given to me was: make everything yourself. That is what I am doing. My 'repertoire' is rather limited, but within these limitations I can pretty much do whatever I want.

@@dordiwesterlund2528 I couldn’t agree with you more I really do think we r singing from the same hymnbook ☺️👍🏻

Hi I would start by looking on KZbin for starter vids then go to a course or a workshop day or 2 hope that helps

@@markjeweller Thank you for your advice

Sir i am from india and working in a jewellery company from 2 years . Here i only got to do to remove casting texture in pieces where it cant be polished. I also set/ repair fallen diamond in casting(wax set diamonds), but i want to become independent jeweler but its nearly imposible to learn whole work here. Jewellery schools are pretty bad here and also i cant afford one because i am getting paid only 18000 ruppes month or only 1 dollor per hour. Is it possible to get an apprenticeship to a expert jeweller outside of my country.
