How to Make a Diamond Cluster Pendant (part 1)

[@SoleilMagica]

I learned new things with this video. Thank you!

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

Thank you ! I always like to see other jewelers work as .I take some things and use them and some things are done better or easier !

[@johnnyyaz]

Not only do you have jewelry skills ! You also have teaching skills.

[@balintsamad897]

Thank you for such an informative video and providing such detailed explanations too! Would be great to pick your brains about jewellery! Who makes the micro motor that you use?

[@DiamondMounter]

Thanks! I try to show and explain every thing thats being done. My micro motor is from a japanese company called Seaforce.

Could you also cut a washer shape from sheet, rather than turn the wire round?

[@DiamondMounter]

Sure! Actually I have just finished making a pendant doing that. Editing it now. It will be on youtube in 2 weeks but Patrons can watch it from tomorrow!

[@bettybho2168]

is it easier to cut the circle out with a disc cutter or don't they make a hole in the centre?

[@DiamondMounter]

Never used one. I imagine they just cut out a circle. You could cut it out of a plate then just dome it in a doming block. Easier than the way I did it!

[@Junoshelly]

Cut the centre hole with a smaller punch first, then mark up the outer ring and cut again. You get a washer shape and no solder seam. You could always cut from a sheet by piercing too. Some of the more expensive tools will have a centering punch to make this easy.

Chris, you mention the width of the metal 3.2mm, but what depth are you using please? #cbiltonjewellery

[@DiamondMounter]

It was quite thick if I remember right it was about 1.7mm?? I will double check next time I have it.

[@lwaller1601]

What is the thickness of your metal?

[@DiamondMounter]

the halo bezels are 1.3mm. Doesnt need to be that thick but Id rather it was too thick than too thin. Thin looks cheap and isnt as strong

[@lwaller1601]

Diamond Mounter thanks, are you going to be setting the stones?

[@DiamondMounter]

@@lwaller1601 Yes but Im not an experienced setter so I wont be showing it on video lol

[@lwaller1601]

Diamond Mounter that’s a shame, would be good to see the complete job

[@DiamondMounter]

@@lwaller1601 I will show it finished in a future video! Im about to finish the Pinterest ring I made in a previous video so will show that soon.
