It’s truly amazing that we live in a world where masters of their craft can be witnessed in such detail like this. You just witnessed craftsmanship at its finest and the knowledge in those hands are not read and learned in text books. Thank you to CRM for sharing this and hats off and a bow to the gentleman who created such a beautiful piece of art. Your legacy will live on.

[@Crmjewelers]

It's a blessing being able to work with Gaston on these videos. Thank you so much for your encouraging words.

[@Celestial_Reach]

I wantto take a second to say thank you. 2 years ago, i began to teach myself how to make fine jewelry at home to over come my struggles to walk, and in hopes it would break the cycle of homelessness. i have learned alot thanks to you, and i greatly appreciate everything i have learned from these videos. also, i appreciate the other lessons ive been able to learn beyond the smithing, and started a youtube channel in hopes i could make it, i would have never had a chance. thank you again for all the help along the way

[@ethandonohoe]

This is such a well done video of a master jeweler working in platinum. Incredible!!

[@AndreaMerchak]

Wow! That's absolutely stunning! ❤

[@justseekingtruth3998]

I love the thickness of the band !! Most large stone rings you see have these tiny skinny bands and it just looks disproportionate. idk if they are requested that way, but to my mind this is much more practical. You want to have support for those stones. Really incredible work! That is such a an incredible craft and talent. I hope you are paid well !

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

Incredible craftsmanship, this ring is a true masterpiece! 😍

[@Crmjewelers]

Thank you Andrea 👍🙏

[@jringhisen]

Making a stone that large practical is real talent. See too many amazing gems in collections going unseen because they haven't explored making them wearable.

Platinum is very hard to work with. This was a very big job and beautifully done. The center stone looks like a Ceylon.

Muchas gracias por compartir la bendición del Padre del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo estén en tu vida y todos los tuyos gracias buen día bendiciones 😅😅😅😊😊😊Colombia cristo te bendiga siempre recibelo en tu vida

[@Yaivenov]

No flux needed for platinum soldering I guess. :) ETA: Wow, working a graver right next to that stone must have been nerve wracking the first few times! P.S.: The ring when viewed from the side looks like the stylized bull from ancient iconography and it is wearing a crown. Was that intentional?

[@gastonrives3392]

Hi , this is classic ring . This is the way is supposed to be constructed . You can look it up with the big brands in jewelry and compare. Thank You

[@user-tg8kc6ep2s]

where else to see Gaston's work

[@80mike]

The stones are beautiful but I personally would order the actual ring part thinner on the bottom, so that when you lay your hand on the table it doesn't raise your ring ringer too much higher and be uncomfortable! Maybe something to incorporate into your next heavy ring band plans!

[@thepaulhenderson]

Great work, Liked & Subscribed! Whats the name of that setting?

[@TeddyshaCelestine]

❤❤❤

[@vickimarlene4905]

Beautiful sapphire but too big a stone in my opinion. The diamonds are a beautiful accompaniment to the sapphire though.

[@jthepickle7]

Some kind of metal, a lot of excellent craftsmanship and three rocks... $300k ? - really? Well, it was really good craftsmanship.

[@Crmjewelers]

The blue "rock" constitutes the majority of the price.

[@jthepickle7]

@@Crmjewelers No doubt the blue rock constitutes the majority of the price. I was a cabinet maker, Teak was our setting. We worked with many karats of it.

[@duelenigma7732]

Platinum ( blue glasses) you charge 3X gold , his cost thousands for the metal , years of training , huge fine sapphire ! Yes a good price . The sapphire is heavier than diamond so could be 30 carats ? It is an extraordinary ring like you will never see again .

[@duelenigma7732]

Brilliant job , retired goldsmith , Canada .

[@EricOnYouTube]

What kind of metal is that?

[@1mmickk]

Then you put it in the Safe and have him make one out of glass and stainless.

[@ndyazza2774]

My sapphire is white but has a few blue spots under 1 carat weight. including rare and antique stones. It has been offered at a price of $80 000. But it doesn't match my wishes

[@Papafilis_Jewellery]

This comment is for jewellers…. I’m 100 percent sure, that Mr Rives has a laser welder, he doesn’t stabilise nothing with the laser and then solder, instead he solder EVERYTHING at once by hand … This is confidence and experience… A true craftsman!!! 👏👏👏

[@ace_degenerate_]

I'm sure there's only a few designs that work with a 30ct sapphire, but man was this just uuuuuuugly! It was so basic and bulky looking! - 300K I'd want some sleek design without the skeleton look -

[@mollayunus2840]

Was für ein Arbeit Respekt.

[@Crmjewelers]

🙏

[@bobbiholliday5961]

Hardest way to do this has been acomplished. No way id go around my ass

[@stephenoconnell6255]

To bulky and top heavy I don't think it would stay upright

[@patrickmoore4232]

There’s dirt under his finger nails that’s been there for a century

[@Crmjewelers]

He's a master ring maker, not a male hand model 🤷

[@duelenigma7732]

To make jewelry like this you need to take a good apprenticeship . Retired jeweller.

[@Ocram222222]

Die Lötflamme ist sehr schlecht.Der Brenner ist zu gross. Daher stimmt das Gemisch nicht.

[@Crmjewelers]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AverageWannabe]

That's silver. There's no way a jeweler would use those sanders with gold or platinum

[@Crmjewelers]

Nope, it's platinum.

[@AverageWannabe]

@@Crmjewelers who works platinum like that that's insane

[@Crmjewelers]

Gaston does. We have a bunch of his ring making videos on our channel.

[@garyfeltman4482]

$300,000? NOT!

[@sec2ndhead]

IMHO to much "stick" for the stone, it irritating the beauty, make it flush then it will be perfect

[@NadineBolger-dt4uf]

The band is too small is that silver?just 300,000 with yr wealth couldn't afford more?it's not see through it's not the right cut

[@Crmjewelers]

Platinum

[@SuperSilviaS15]

Wheres the GIA paperwork on the Sapphire?......I'm certainly not calling you a liar. I just want to see it's details.

[@mohammedilyaspatelpatel3002]

He needs a manicure or gloves !

[@Joe___R]

Great work, but I don't care for the design. The stones are at least twice the size they should be for a woman's ring. With a much wider band and a shorter stand for the stones, they could work for a man's ring if he has rather large hands. That sapphire would have looked better in a necklace or bracelet instead of a ring.

[@aaronramsden1657]

What are you, a professional jeweller?

[@ILoveManCity.]

Im sure the owner has many necklaces with stones twice as big as this. This reminded me of Princes Diana's engagement ring, which with a size similar to this one is very small by "Royal" standards.

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

I don't think that's a woman's ring. If it is she has very large hands.

[@kmreed295]

“No thankyou, I think I’d prefer smaller stones” said no woman…ever 😂🤣😂

[@amberandrews6842]

I know plenty of women who would proudly wear this.

[@NadineBolger-dt4uf]

Don't like it
