How To Make A 3 Stone Ring. (Quickest and easiest way!)

[@texasgigi3684]

Great tutorial. I was disappointed that I didn’t get to see the stones set and a completed project. Thank you for a great tutorial!!

Thank you for this video!!! Really helpful!!! I did it!!! 💪🏻💪🏻 Love from Argentina! 🇦🇷

This video matches perfectly to where I am on my silversmithing journey (I’ve a mostly self-taught novice) it fills the gap out there where most videos are either very basic and nothing goes wrong, or quite professional and nothing goes wrong. I’ve learnt the most from the “mistakes” and hearing Chris describe how he plans to fix them and how these fixes can also evolve into something different has taught me heaps and given me more confidence to attempt things I may not have tried to make before. Plus lots of really useful tips thru out (angle the claws to the middle of the ring, complete the inner side of the ring shank before modifying the other shape, inset the claws where vulnerable……etc) Thank you

[@DiamondMounter]

Thank you for this comment. Im happy Im getting my experience across to people in the videos. You sound like a real jeweller for noticing those things

[@kxjewelry7809]

I am completely self taught as well. I agree, Chris' channel if my favorite to learn from. My next project is this one! Thanks Chris!

[@charmspeakjewelrydesignstu7224]

Thank you! Your explanations are priceless!

[@DiamondMounter]

Youre welcome. Im working on another 3 stone ring video right now! Coming soon

[@gabrielpagotto5364]

Wow! That was amazing! One of the best jewellery making videos I've ever saw on KZbin! Congratulations sir. I beg you to put more of these long tutorials more often. It was delightful to see! Thank you very much and keep up the outstanding work!!!

[@DiamondMounter]

Thanks so much! Yes I enjoy doing the full instructional videos I will try to do them more often. I keep in mind they're for people to learn from so I try to show everything I do!

[@wissiwizard4536]

I got a lot of tips from this thanks bro

[@bamboo979]

i set my first tube setting this morning and attemted this in the afternoon with the wrong dimensions of metal. Its a mess, needed thicker plate.saying that I've learnt a load of things I'm sure Iv'e spent tens of hours watching your videos. I'm gonna leave it and have a look another day, it might turn out with a few more claws. thanks for the content and ill make along with some more projects, maybe something more simple.

Mistakes are the best teaching experiences

[@opalrocksart3371]

Beautifully done ,thank you really helpful,🌍

[@zag9153]

Thank you man!!

[@denisesallesmunoz3018]

Thaaaaaannnks! I’ve learned so much with this video! I’ve been looking for a instructional video for making the shank shoulders and the sit for the stones and this video answered lot of my dudes! Thank you again.

[@marnirobins8019]

just watched your video, it was very informative! If possible I would love to know how to actually cut the setting into the prongs and place the stones.

[@vincesartain9290]

Awesome tutorial! Love your method.

[@darrinthomson8611]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial the bit where you want fine teeth on tweezers have you thought of glueing fine grade sandpaper inside

[@allanyeo]

49:54 i felt that :"-) great tutorial!!

[@DiamondMounter]

Haha its difficult to talk and concentrate at the same time

[@goldsmithmodelmaker9736]

Nice job sir

[@insederec]

27:30 when I'm marking distance from a gap like that I just sand all touching surfaces and rub the part I'm fitting into the gap and it marks it for me. I do it for size ups daily.

[@DiamondMounter]

Thanks I can imagine that could be useful

[@quietspacearts]

is my eyesight not good i thought i saw centre stone slight pink and the side stone blueish tint? I love your style of teaching, simply brilliant, where do you get those rubber sanding disks please i can not find them?

No a los anuncios

[@josejoshuam2007]

Pls make a.ring with ovel shaped stone. I will be so greatfull.

[@DiamondMounter]

Sure! Yes oval stones set rings are difficult to finish well. Especially placing claws symmetrically around them.

[@Squishmallow-Ava]

Great tutorials! Very interesting. I'm wondering if there is a video anywhere where you show how you secure / set the stones. Because apparently you would use 1 claw to set both stones. Interested in how that works 😁 keep up the nice work. Thx

[@DiamondMounter]

Yes the stones are set in to the same claw!. In the video I explain the claws must be heavy gauge. It works because the side stone cut out is lower than the central stone cut out. Im planning to do another 3 stone tutorial soon!

[@kxjewelry7809]

I am ready to set my stones.. I am wondering do I set the big stone 1st, then notch and set the smaller stones?

[@Blackking1301]

Can you make the rings without the diamonds in them With all the measurements already?

[@JeanetteStephenson-z7n]

Amazing!! Just curious what is holding the small round brilliants on the other side, which buts up against the centre stone. Is the one claw enough to hold them?

[@gussypika847]

Sorry for asking witch size Stones did you use? Center + Side Stones I am trying to build a custam Ring for my love one. Dont know much of Ring.

[@milu8791]

What’s the name of the Electric thing u used at time 4.29?

[@kxjewelry7809]

I am trying it out.. Ready to set my gemstones.. Chris, I am wondering... do I set the big stone 1st, then notch and set the smaller stones? My guess is that I shouldn't do the small stones 1st since u gotta slightly move the shared prongs to set the big stone.. Thank you for any help!

[@DiamondMounter]

When i did mine i cut the claws for the centre stone but did not set it. Then i set the side stones and after I could easily put the centre in

How would you go about sizing this down? You mentioned you made the ring massive .

[@DiamondMounter]

Cut a piece out the back. I must do some ring sizing videos

[@Alftar]

@@DiamondMounter ah ok . It was my first thought, but i was thinking the under bezel would get cocked up.

Trying the project out now and im at a big ol' 10.5 and need to get to a 7 . Pray for me father Christopher

[@DiamondMounter]

@@Alftar A few sizes down are rarely a problem but yes doing repairs on differnt design and condition rings you need to keep in mind how the structure of the ring can handle being stressed

[@dordiwesterlund2528]

I don't know what you were doing. If you were making a master for casting, just buy a ring, there are millions of those. If it is fabrication, I find your method time consuming and difficult and therefore incorrect. I don't think anyone does it like this professionally. I can do it much quicker, with less ado, less sawing and everything will fit just fine. Please look around and find a better way of working.

[@DiamondMounter]

Perfect! Please tell me your better method and I will try it out. I can make a video comparing it to my usual way!

[@chargerclyde]

What a condescending comment to make.

[@gergeii]

@@DiamondMounter I'm not sure what exactly Dordi meant but as I see you are relying very heavily on filing and removing material and you are avoiding metal forming techniques almost completely. Generally speaking metal forming gives you more precise results, takes less time and creates less waste. Less waste is a big factor for most of us simply because it's not maintainable to file away 2g of metal just to make a 4g shank, especially for those working with gold or pgms. I understand it's not that big of a factor for you but precision is. And that is also faster and easier to achieve with metal forming. Think about it: would you rather spend your time filing a perfectly circular, true to size hole, instead of just grabbing your ring mandrel? Sound like a wrong idea, isn't it? I'm not saying that it is exactly what you are doing here with that collet cluster but it's a close analogy.

[@DiamondMounter]

@@gergeii What do you mean by metal forming?

[@marielove6208]

Well Mr. Dordi ... some of us really appreciated this video ... take your negativity elsewhere
