186 Diamond setting Yellow Gold Micro Pavé Overlay ring 1,30mm stones van dooren diamonds

Funny how not 1 word is said.. and this video answers the majority of questions I had about how diamond jewelry is made

This is how stones are set, not how jewellery is made. The jewellery is already made and he's setting the stones

[@gnarbeljo8980]

This only covers pavé stone setting, and indeed in great detail. However like the description says the jewelry piece itself isn’t hand made with old school techniques but printed and cast first, extremely common these days. Goldsmiths who make this kind of ring from start to finish including the setting are rare. People would rather pay less so those artisans and methods are becoming scarce as the printing and casting with stone setters finishing off with stones has exploded on an industrial level with a wide span of cheap and ugly to great quality work. Unfortunately alot of people these days can’t tell the difference and don’t even bring a loup when shopping for jewelry, so many spend on cheap craftmanship. This video is great and shows the work involved setting stones in this style. And Mendelsohn to boot! 😃

[@slr-d]

hey all.. thanks for the clarification, and I do love detail.. I understand this is just the stone setting process. I was just speaking loose by saying "how jewelry is made". Stone setting is what I really meant. But thanks yall

[@daquaviousbingleton9763]

@@gnarbeljo8980 tbh if you do casting right you can make a just as good piece in half the time and it saves a lot of effort the ones who can make it without a cast usually don’t bother since it’s so much more effort for the same amount of money

Absolutely beautiful work, Im currently working my way up to doing things like this, starting by making simple anniversary bands. Videos like this really help me visualize new technique, so thank you so much. Im only 22, and have been in the industry since high school. I have found it very difficult to learn fabrication techniques... Because I dont see many jewelers that do it anymore, and the ones that do wont sit down and show me. So I have to teach myself... Seems like people prefer CAD to hand made stuff nowadays. Kind of a pity. Anyway, thanks for the great videos. Hope I can be this good some day.

Never knew so much work went into setting decent sized diamonds. I always knew it was many hours of labor for the tiny little dust sized ones that are usually found on watches. But wow, thats really a multi step process for rings too. Looks like something id enjoy for work, im a perfectionist and ive got the hands of a surgeon, but cutting gold looks more fun.

I find your work absolutely amazing. You are patient , precise and meticulous which are not qualities we find in many people . I am also impressed by those tiny diamonds , how on earth can they create the facets on something that small ?

Morgan Olfursson thanks for your comment and questions. It indeed takes a lot of patience and also practice. Th diamonds go as small as 0.55mm in diameter (not in this ring though) and are all precise machine cut with 57 facets.

This is phenomenal . Thanks so much for taking the time to answer . You are a tremendous artist and craftsman and though people like you are behind the most brilliant (no pun intended) creations in terms of jewelry out there today and throughout history , nobody really knows your names . It is like painting or sculpting a masterpiece and not signing it , i find it very humble and humbling at the same time . And on a totally different note , I am a veterinarian and i don't think my hands are as steady as yours so congrats for that too, your hands and finger fine muscle control is very impressive .

[@heinikendude]

Hi, this is a selfmade graver. Made from carbon blank ;-)

[@YOUNGGIOTTO]

is the bur the same width as the diamond? also, when you measure distances between diamonds, how much space do you give them? or are they just flushed together?

[@heinikendude]

Hi Mostefa, Yes the burr is the same width. I try to flush these diamonds together as tightly as possible. So perhaps 1.32 mm for 1.30 mm diamonds

[@YOUNGGIOTTO]

@@heinikendude thanks so much for being a great resource of knowledge for us youtubers!

[@allenl9214]

Hi, the stones seem to sit nice and tight even before beading. If setting a 2mm stone, do you use a 2mm ball bur in the end to cut seat or use a smaller bur than the stone size so stone sits tight?

[@heinikendude]

You see that very correctly. I normally drill with a round bur of 1.30 mm but after drilling 100 + holes the bur is not 1.30 but more like 1.26 - 1.28 due to the wearing of the metal. As the gold is relatively soft and the diamonds very hard I can gently push the stones in ;-)

[@allenl9214]

@@heinikendude thank you for the explanation.. great work

[@carlosrsd734]

How do the diamonds not fall out

[@heinikendude]

In the end of the video you see that we gently push over small prongs over the diamonds. So that's how ;-)

[@allenl9214]

Are the seats cut to exact size of stone or slightly smaller so stone sits tight? Eg: 2mm ball bur for 2mm round stone?

[@heinikendude]

Seats are cut to the exact size. But over time a 1.3mm round burr 'rounds' off so it's more like 1.28 .

Interesting. Is the Form 2 not precise enough to reduce the work needed to measure and drill? Seems like it could at least make pilot holes to make it quicker.

[@heinikendude]

Hi Chip, I guess it might be an option. However this level and quality of diamond setting work goes up to 0.01 mm precision. So I always prefer to actually take the gold product and start measuring/making calculations from there on. As there is always shrinkage in 3D printing, in casting and in polishing etc. ;-)
