Half Shank Art Deco Filagree Ring Construction

These two gorgeous designs evoke images of the 1910's-1930's. Classical engagement type styles. Constructed from silver pressed into steel dies using hand wrought techniques. I show how these designs are crafted and present the final products. To complete the rings I hand engraved the sides of the shanks.
Enjoy, and make beauty in the world.

This visual was very helpful, I had trouble envisioning how this ring die is fabricated. Thanks for making it real.

Nice video and gorgeous rings. What a gift your knowledge and time is. Thank you so much for sharing! I might have to move way out of my comfort zone and try this.

I notice you are using a Harbor Freight air hydraulic jack. Can you tell me if you have a valve to control the ram or do you use the trigger that comes with jack and the air release on the jack? What size compress did you use. I have the same set up. I also note that you have switched to electric in your later videos. I enjoy your videos.

Hello, amazing video and instructions! I have a question about the cam type clamp you have on your bench pin. Is that something I could purchase?

[@jackjellies9854]

Thanks! If you mean that vise look on my channel for a short vid about the smart vise. That should get you where you want to go.

Where do the ring dies come from?
