How to Make A Thick Bezel Necklace

[@rachellepowell6404]

GREAT video. All the other videos I found were using the new tools available and I really wanted the old school method. Thanks SO MUCH for this video and for all the things you are sharing with us. If you are ever in Utah, I'd be honored to buy you a beer, sir!

[@kyleikuma5790]

Such a cool video! Makes me want to go and invest in a nice secluded workshop in the woods and just become a rogue hermit and make all the jewelry I want...

[@johnhowton6339]

i love your teaching method , you make every process doable for the beginner in a kind and calm way.

[@GomeowCreations]

Well thank you very much 😊

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

Just bought one of these too ! thank you top info !

[@silenttraveler2710]

Another Awesome Video Randy Thanks again...

[@lisavalentine492]

Love that piece of turquoise and that setting doesnt detract from the beauty of the stone. Well done you!

[@samjones2790]

I wish I could be taught by you in person!!! I wish I knew someone who makes these so I could learn and make these as a hobby.

[@nilessaalpert8855]

WOW ! Fantastic video. Thank you. Light bulb moment for sure !

[@GomeowCreations]

Thanks so much for your super informative videos. Your great a teaching, and I really appreciate that you explain “why” you do or do not do certain things. That really helps me retain the information. It helps the process make sense. I do have a quick question, what is the mesh screen you soldered on made of? And/or where can I find one? I did check the video info as you’re always so great about listing the tools you used. However, the screen wasn’t listed. I like that it’s so much thicker than the type that typically come on the soldering tripods.

[@texasgigi3684]

Great video! I love your videos! They help me so much. This is a beautiful piece!

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem and happy to be of help

[@lupapera]

Thank you!! I’ve watched a couple other vids about how to make serrated bezels, but they made it look more complicated. I’ll try this one as soon as the quarantine is over.

[@babblegoose]

Awesome vid! I love how the chain matches the design you chose.

[@GomeowCreations]

Thanks and it's kinda funny because this is the only chain I have on hand and it just kinda worked out haha. 😅👍

[@juliel6254]

Beautiful pendant! You make it look so easy!

[@GomeowCreations]

Well thank you and yeah I tend to to that in my videos but I do show when I mess stuff up and how to fix them in some of my videos 😂

[@GomeowCreations]

Liver of sulfur

[@cavdragoon]

Great informative video. Also beautiful piece. Thanks

[@3554ELM]

Absolutely brilliant! Lovely piece . ❤️

[@ScottRedstone]

Nice job. I have some black agate that I etched on my laser. And I have some silver plate and strips. Now I have a new project.

[@GomeowCreations]

That sounds interesting, let me know how that turns out 😁👍

[@peopledustcanada]

Great video! Looking forward to more informative instructional vids.

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

awesome

[@rogerharris8081]

How did you clean up the saw marks between the dentils? Or, did you find it wasn’t possible to see them?

[@GomeowCreations]

I didn't because you can't really see them and if you can they are just lines for the most part so it looks fine.😊👍

[@bohdankryher9456]

Hello there, amazing work as always! 😁

[@katherinelang9382]

Love the vid-it's great! Thanks so much!!! Say, who manufactures your hammer piece and what kind of rotary tool are you using?

[@johannesmichel7279]

Thanks for sharing!

[@shanemay7103]

Can you show how to make a Cuban link bracelet or necklace and how to make the snaps for them

[@GomeowCreations]

I can add that to my list of future videos 😁

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Cool!

[@MrDutchman100]

How was it long when you used tape, sounds like it don’t work

[@4sydel]

Thanks for this video so helpful ! Can you use this hammer tool in a dremel that has a flex shaft extension ?

[@GomeowCreations]

You cant that I know of.

[@rickdavila6969]

Hi, love your videos. As a newbie they are especially helpful and inspiring. I like the fine point caliper you used to score the vertical cut lines on the bezel, but I cannot find it in your Amazon links. Do you have a direct link I can follow to buy one like it? Thanks.

[@erinnlamattery5075]

so very cool!!

[@erinnlamattery5075]

With the liver of sulfer, do you keep a jar of cold solution and use that? I have always made a fresh solution with hot water and tossed it when done, but am curious to try a cold solution.

[@GomeowCreations]

I normally mix up a new warm batch every time

[@ManypossibilitiesGaoLY]

What metal gauges can you use? Can you use hard silver or does it have to be soft?

[@GomeowCreations]

You can use any silver you like seeing that you have to heat it to make it soft. Idk what gauge the silver is see that I made it but it's 1.2mm thick

[@elainebates6967]

Why do so many jewellers use backplates for bezel settings?

[@GomeowCreations]

It's easy to get setup and the right shape. You can make designs in the back of them if you wanted to to show off the back of the stone. Why do you ask?

[@elainebates6967]

@@GomeowCreations Because I want the skin to be in contact with the gemstone.

[@marylusky2224]

Great video. Just got the hammer piece for my flex shaft. Can’t wait to try this. I have a question. I have been trying to solder a 1 1/2” piece of sheet silver 22 gauge to a slightly larger piece of 22 gauge sheet of copper. Sweat soldered the solder to the back of the silver piece fluxed both pieces and placed it on top of the copper piece. I have tried to solder this 3 times. I only have hand held torches. One small and one a little larger I can not get the solder to flow. Any suggestions or maybe you could do a video on this type of thing. Thank you so much. Your videos are awesome

[@aethon6335]

Try binding wire and double fist your 2 torches. My guess is you are not getting enough heat. You might also check out this : www.amazon.com/Bernzomatic-TS8000-Intensity-Trigger-Start/dp/B0019CQL60 with one of these : www.homedepot.com/p/Bernzomatic-WH0159-Universal-Torch-Extension-Hose-361542/202539579 . You will want to turn the fuel way down because this will be too hot for what you're doing, but it will serve you well if you ever do more heavy duty torch work. Good luck.

[@marylusky2224]

Thanks. I think I will try the Benzomatic

[@wmhp1959]

What thickness is the saw blade? What number?

[@GomeowCreations]

I don't remember 😅

[@NewLife-qj9mx]

I have only watched a few of your videos - just discovered your channel today - very nice 👍 Question - do you not hallmark your work?

[@christychapman6590]

Hey! What is the name of the vise you use to file? I'm having issues filing straight and that's perfect. Thank you! And that cab is gorgeous 😍

[@GomeowCreations]

Here is a link to it amzn.to/2xJcarQ 😁👍 It is a very helpful tool

[@daniellepadgham5165]

Wondering why, after careful measuring, the bezel ended up being too long. Does the sawing out somehow elongate it?

[@sticustom]

Knew Concepts saw?

[@GomeowCreations]

I don't remember what I used in this video to be honest. But if it was a red saw frame then that is that I was using

[@sticustom]

@@GomeowCreations yes it was red framed. Thanks

[@tattoofthesun]

Dude where the hell did you get that bezel hammer piece? Also looks like Blue Moon turquoise

[@katherinelang9382]

oh, duh....am at work and did not get to watch the ENTIRE video. THanks for the links! :)

[@fireformedwind9376]

Anything you can use if you do not have liver of sulfur

[@daniellepadgham5165]

Some use eggs! Google it!

[@GomeowCreations]

You can use hard boiled eggs to do this but its going to take more time. If I remeber right you take the eggs and put them in a zip lock bag with you silver and leave it in there over night. Here is a link to how to do it in detail haha jewelrymakingjournal.com/how-to-oxidize-sterling-silver-and-copper-with-boiled-eggs/

[@fireformedwind9376]

@@GomeowCreations cool thank you i am using ammonia and salt at the moment it works well on copper

[@GomeowCreations]

@@fireformedwind9376 That should turn copper green/blue. The egg thing will turn it black and i could give silver a rainbow look too.

[@aethon6335]

Hey Randy. You should try using fine silver and fuse the bezel closed and fuse it to the back plate. No solder to cut, no flux, no pickle needed, and then you can start at the top with hard solder on any other parts. It's a huge time saver. Also your hammer handpiece points will leave a much better finish if you round off those 90 degree corners and polish the face. Thanks for sharing

[@ghosttownmetalworks]

I am going to try that! Awesome suggestion. Fusing has always intimidated me...but it's time to give it a whirl!

[@aethon6335]

@@ghosttownmetalworks Also if you ruin a piece of fused fine silver, it can go right into the melt dish next time you pour some sheet or wire and since there was no solder, it's still .999 fine. I have stopped using copper to make test pieces. Fine silver is just so much easier.

[@helenhill9482]

Worth noting that if you choose to make your bezel any taller, there will be a bigger gap to close when setting the stone, and it may be too difficult to close it all the way, plus it will not look as aesthetically pleasing as the height you made it, so going taller is not a great option. Also, turquoise (especially with matrix) is not good in an ultrasonic machine. It can damage the stone.

[@kimgalbraith8642]

The tape is genius! Then as a student, I am not accidentally scratching my stone measuring the bezel wire. Looks like you used painter's tape?

[@GomeowCreations]

Yes it is just some painters tape, it sticks good and comes off easy without leaving any adhesive behind.

[@LeTrashPanda]

@@GomeowCreations If you use that same tape over the bezel (before using the reciprocating hammer) you won't get the damage afterwards....it saves a step & preserves the bezel (something drilled into us @ GIA LOL). Beautiful piece, the end result is very cool.

[@maryjobaldridge9311]

I really like your videos, but wish your "speeding up" was a tiny bit slower.... It gives the gist, but a little more meat would be nice. :)

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah it's a hard lines to walk them it comes to speeding stuff up. I'm trying to keep people interested but not to drag on. 😅

[@gangstamum]

The dots at top right of your screen... Click on those and select playback speed. Easy

[@albertpartridge6716]

nice one, I think the bail is a bit on the big side just my opinion 7\8 mm would have been a bit better not as over powering, take care keep safe keep well.
