What's always blown my mind about this video is that he's able to set these stones easily with a simple bench pin rather than an engraving/setting vise. That takes real skill.

[@chrislane7283]

agreed.

[@petervanbruggen7079]

Practice it , the amount off control you gain over the workpiece is well worth the efford. I seldomly work with vices or Grs benchmates while setting

[@joejeweller3320]

Real jewelers don't need all that fancy stuff.

[@angelalane2136]

THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FRIKKIN THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN. IN MY LIFE!

[@kg2nc]

Jorge you do fantastic work and I know what it take to make a ring of that caliper. When I was in my teen years I use to work for a woman who use to sell jewelry. I'm 62 now and my eyes are not what they use to be. Thank You for sharing and bringing the memory's.

[@CaptainCurt07]

Watching a true craftsman never gets old, I wish I could afford his work!🙏

[@Chicagoinviset]

Thank you Curtis! We love to try and work with our customers and within their budget. We can give out free estimates if you are interested!

[@Lenmil]

Fantastic workmanship. I hope more people can appreciate just how much skill is involved in this. Thanks for sharing.

[@chomerc]

I sit here quite coincidentally as I watch this amazing craftsman, wearing a 2 ct invisible set diamond ring that I have long taken for granted. Boy does this change my perception of how amazing this workmanship really is. Loved watching your skilled hands. Total admiration. Thank you for posting this.

[@battmann678]

Jorge - this was brilliant! Thank you very much for sharing your artistic talents - it's a generous thing to do. I live a thousand miles away, but as Chicago is my old home town, if I ever get back there I hope to come and meet you. With Best Regards......Ski

[@markhondaturbo]

Wow, absolutely beautiful. I love how it looks after plating. Wow

[@mathieulacas188]

Thanks for taking the time to show this. Really cool to watch👌

[@jorisArt]

Great work! Methodical and well organized. Thanks for sharing, and I'll remember you when I need invisible work done.

[@lou196t]

That ring is gorgeous. Wow I am amazed at how shiny it got! What a beauty.

[@juanguevara9002]

[@Chicagoinviset]

If we hear of anyone we will gladly recommend them

[@drb5003]

His fingers said it all.... Craftsmanship 💍

[@FireEater]

You are a true artist. Wow and I was proud of my coin ring.

[@jakethejeweler3092]

This video inspired me so much 7 years ago, so many techniques picked up here alone. Still not capable of this, one day with the right people around. My boss literally told me that a ring didn't need to buffed before setting, or the inside of the ring and porosity was just a part of the business because he didn't have the time to fill it in. Ain't going to let him ruin my reputation, at the same time I'm killing myself working with someone with no standards, and have to leave my family to get a "real" Jewelers job. Literally have 13 custom builds in the box, in a town with only 2 "proper" bench Jewelers. Love this job, hate the people i work with and the owners who enable this bs.

[@debbieramnarine8327]

Love watching this,beautifully made,And that would so fit me, because of my small hands. Keep up this kind of work.

[@duffcosmos6458]

FYI....I recently discovered that chlorine in tap water over time can contaminate your rhodium solution creating foggy or milky plating. If this happens to you sometimes....having a distilled water dipping jar handy to use between rinsing under the tap will solve this problem and make your solution last longer. Thanks for sharing this video....I only offer this as a gesture in return...you obviously know what you are doing.

[@jayebirdjb7143]

James Jamieson I would suggest getting a Berky water filtration system, with the Fluoride filter.

[@rosyjobya]

Cheers George,A brilliant video and i immensely enjoyed it, an absolute Pleasure.

[@noapology88]

Brilliant! Very skillfully done.

[@renataarantes3442]

Perfect! Very beautiful.

[@DogsGottaEat]

That is super impressive. I've been thinking of dabbling in the field of jewellery making, and this video has been a big source of inspiration!

[@jsig191145acp]

Very nice video!

[@davidlane147]

Ahhh very clever way of stopping the stones rattling around when hammering. I might try that next time

[@Chicagoinviset]

Yes the shellac holds it nicely without damaging the diamond while setting!

[@arkaysilversmiths]

It is channel set. He used the hammer handpiece to lock in the baguettes on both sides before he installed the princess cuts. I liked how he used the wax to hold all the stones in through the backside when he hammered down the outer edge of the ring to secure the princess cuts. I wouldn't have the guts to use a wheel bur to trim back the hammered edge like he did before melting the wax since I'd be afraid of damaging the stones.

[@Guide504]

fantasic work .... the ring!

[@opalrocksart3371]

Beautiful work 😀

[@Christopherross30]

This job would be so satisfying, I need to do this

[@floridagarcia6526]

Beautiful

[@bazking]

Fantastic skills there...thanks for sharing! Ps - hope some mamma doesn't bring it in to be sized lol

[@hothmobile100]

wow. impressive.

[@alainfara3404]

Invisible set is when the stone have a channel cut into the girdle and it clips side by side on a metal rail no hammering is needed, what is done here is just simply a channel set

[@duffcosmos6458]

wrong....the last step in invisible setting still require compressing the metal into the gems groove to set permanently. He does this to the center row of diamonds first because he has clearance to use his hand-piece without the outer two row of diamonds in place to interfere or risk breakage. Some do this by hand with a wooden stick or bamboo skewer after all the diamonds are in place....a master like this can accomplish the same thing and still control the tool with a hand-piece as he does because it's simply faster and with even more control. the outside perimeter only butts up against metal and is done the same as channel setting but that is the only similarity. Your not very observant.

[@bryanthegod8493]

That's very nice

[@ponda.5203]

Electroplating looks fun 👀

[@najamuddinnajam4830]

[@Photomomlove]

Amazing these do not just come out of a KinderEi.

[@dalepavatte2844]

Super Nice.

[@ruud4508]

did jorge moves his cilinder burr across the princess cut diamonds in order to straighten the edges? you are fearless!! i have never managed to keep a level surface when grinding with a abrasive disc like that. it sure looks like its working lightning fast! and all this without a microscope!!

[@andrenewcomb3708]

Dazzling.

[@FlowMeter]

Wowieee! That is BEEEEAUTIFUL! So when you are polishing and grinding you do not have to worry about hitting the diamonds because they are so hard that nothing can harm them?? I worked with you guys and you are AWESOME and do EXTRAORDINARY work!

[@dadrules714]

Helpfull great job ! Turn your volume down for this one folks Off to try my hand on some 2mm princess sapphires on a st silv bracelet If I screw it up it was free. practice makes perfect.there's no perfect practice.

[@jonnywaselectric]

master craftsman

[@CarvedMetal]

This was very cool to watch; I've not seen invisible setting nor rhodium plating in action before. I'm still a bit unclear how the stones are all held in place with no metal between them. I couldn't quite tell what was being hammered on after the baguettes were set in place. For future videos I might recommend some audio instructions, if possible.

[@juangarcia9048]

Hi Jorge i'm jeweler from México, one suggestion, is Lost time polish one two three the ring, ir You polish one and for all You will save a Lot of time. Greetings from México

[@Chicagoinviset]

Hi Juan, thanks for the great tip! Thanks for checking the video

[@brandonisabitchass1]

Sick!

[@billieraymond1360]

wonderful

[@BigTimeZergRush]

I have a question: if im casting a ring should I cut the holes for the stones in the wax then cast it, or should I cast the ring then cut the holes out for the stones? I would be using baguettes and but them up agenst each other similar to what you did. thank you :)

[@linislunatica]

Jorge can you please make more videos showing how you make the ring from beginning to end?

[@ruapraia]

Respect.

[@arelgr9407]

[@Saywhatohno]

[@krzysiekkossakowski7646]

you have a large skilled

[@conradovanaken455]

Trabajas de la misma forma en la que trabajan los engarzadores en Argentina! Pregunta: laspiedras tienen que estar talladas especialmente para este tipo de engarce, no? Gracias por el video! Espectacular!

[@Chicagoinviset]

Gracias por ver el video! Sí, las piedras tienen que estar ranuradas a los lados. Las barras entre el montaje mantienen esas piedras en sus lugares. El conjunto final está martillando los lados para mantenerlos a todos en su lugar.

[@manuelmagalhaes5162]

Olá, eu sou engastador de diamantes e fiquei deslembrado com o processo de engaste, obrigado pela dica

[@khaan5109]

The baguettes looks like are channel set but what is holding the side of the princess ones towards the baguettes if they are not grooved? Or they are on that side?

[@mbrichjewelry]

It is invisible set

[@mahabaleshwarraikar9413]

I like to see more on gypsy settings

[@Chicagoinviset]

We love to show some more videos of jewelry in the near future. Check back!

[@derrickforeal]

love the spinning photo at the end. so tacky. needed a real rotational shot to show that ring gleaming

[@juanbarrientos6516]

We're are you. Need some help. Jorge Gallegos.

[@garypowell1540]

I have been a 3rd generation jeweler and X diamond setter for more than 40 years and this is not exactly crap but can only be done this way if you have done the exact same ring many times before and the stones are perfectly calibrated for the particular job. I did my business when this was hardly ever the case. No two jobs were ever the same and the stones were NEVER perfectly calibrated. I made my living from turning a pile of nonsense into a work of art that hardly anyone in Hatton Garden/ the world could do or would even attempt. Working on this kind of work would have been children's play by comparison requiring very little real skill or indeed thinking. Suffice to say I made so much money performing miracles for 12 years I set myself up for life and have been a manufacturer watching other people work ever since. Benchwork is mugs work. Make money fast while you are young and healthy, then get off of that bench as soon as possible before it kills you at an early age, as it did both my father and grandfather.

[@gabotorres5875]

Hello You Might upload a video of jacketed rings with stones thanks

[@midasmith]

Jorge, I'm looking for invisible diamond setting expert to set some ring with princess cut diamonds; Can you help me with that Sir?

[@fegasa7516]

hola jorge, me gustaría me enviarás tips para biselar una circonia de gota 10x7... gracias de antemano.

[@louiselyons5187]

What were you doing at the end when you dipped in 2 solutions? Was that rhodium or platinum plating?

[@Chicagoinviset]

That step is called rhodium plating, and gives it a bright coating to the metal. It can be done to gold and platinum!

[@dirceusantos5915]

Perfeito

[@ExarionSama]

the stones aint straight, the princess cut different sizes?

[@fetty9642]

🐐

[@phengsenghour7066]

Wow how much does it cost?
