How to make a silver ring with GOLD BEZEL! Tutorial step-by-step

Today we're making a silver ring with a gold bezel! I hope this step by step tutorial will encourage you to try using mixed metals in your jewelry projects. Using solid gold can be intimidating, but it's not that difficult if you follow the rules and take extra care while soldering. I may have overheated my bezel, which melted some of the gold, but now I will know what to do and what not to do when using gold in my jewelry making process :)

Will you try making a gold bezel yourself?? I was so intimidated, but turns out it's not that scary! Just try not to overheat it like I did haha :) Tools and resources are linked under the video.

i love that you got on with solving the problem and actually admit the problem in first place, we are all human lol

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much! I hope that seeing this will help others, because we all make mistakes, especially when we're learning something ☺️

[@MrFL0vv]

Love to see new variations of your jewelry making, would be great to see you working with diamonds. Hope it would be something you are interested in.

[@maladylis08]

Beautiful design ! Gold is hard to work with and very expensive ! I love the flowers, I'll have to look for some like that on Rio. Thanks for showing your design and work !

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much, Lisa! I'm very happy you enjoyed the video 😍 I'm sure Rio will have a variety of gold supplies available and some lovely embellishments 💕

[@lynnrabe4428]

Just discovered your channel, I was a Finish Goldsmith and designer several years ago and thinking about getting back into it. Very enjoyable to watch you make this ring.

[@meeting_sky5331]

Love your tutorials 🫶🏽

[@Sadiejewelrydesign838]

Great video as usual. The ring is beautiful. I haven’t got my nerve up to try gold yet.

[@PBCreation96]

Absolutely beautiful! Was just telling my gf how I want to make her a ring with gold just an hour ago. This turned out amazing! (I was nervous on behalf of your bank account that the gold would turn out great 😂)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Haha luckily all went well AND we still had a good lesson out of it! 😁 Phew 😅 And yes, you should totally go for it and make a ring with gold for your girlfriend, I'm sure it will be perfect, just make sure to not overheat it when soldering! 😀 Thanks so much for watching today

[@gemstonegirl1084]

Thank you 🙏

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much for watching! :) I hope you enjoyed it

[@abbywebster8343]

[@MusicisLife-xl1kx]

Fantastic 🌹👍

[@cheri6785]

Your ring is stunning❣️

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@allanthompson9695]

Beautiful ring. Excellent recovery there Basia.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! I honestly did not think it would work, but luckily managed to salvage it :)

[@corundV]

Под прозрачные камни в глухих кастах всегда можно вставить обычную фольгу (даже пищевую), чтобы замаскировать патину и усилить блеск. Попробуйте.....................Under transparent stones in deaf castes, you can always insert ordinary foil (even food) to mask the patina and enhance the shine. Try.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

great result from the over heating the bezel lucky

[@miguelsantana1950]

I was lucky to be the first to see your new video. Thank you very much greetings from Mexico 😊

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's so awesome!! :)) I'm happy to see you here so early, you made my day ❤ Thank you for watching!

[@SwagSweeties8]

I would love to get tutorial on how you make the little metal flowers so I am looking for metals that I can add decor on the ring band!

[@christina6656]

😂 you are just the greatest! I love the out-takes at the end. I started laughing along with you. I feel like once I begin recording I will most definitely laugh at myself lots. Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing you mistake. I'm learning lots from you! I'm currently in the process of buying all my tools & metal for silversmithing (expensive 😩). Hopefully will begin soon! 🤞

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I'm happy you enjoyed the video :) Good luck with your silversmithing! I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot

[@jwon5614]

Where were you able to find the ring measured?! That’s reallly neat! The ring is beautiful 💕🤗

[@kizzywitch]

Yes love to know the name of that ring blank measuring app too

[@ayshah-um5fy]

So beautiful I want a engagement ring like that😍

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Aww, thank you! I think this style would make a perfect engagement ring too 🥰

[@alisa.maks26]

beautiful!

[@tatianalopez8729]

Hi thank you for this video. What is that metal nest solder on top of? Thank you.

[@kiandraquinn8238]

Where did you find that ring length calculator app? Is it an app or is it available online? Also, is the gauge of the metal the same as the width?

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya Lady Stardust, Another great video; thank you so much for sharing this with us. What an excellent combination of metals and designs. The flowers work perfectly with the gem. I know they are a standard with you, but they work, as do all your designs. The gold bezel looks fantastic; thank you for the heads up on the melting points; something to watch out for. As someone who can and does still melt silver bezels, it's something I need to watch closely. I would have used smaller pieces of solder and placed them right in the join, much less clear up afterwards. Your choice of stone is so good; that Amerthist works so well. I will try the gold/silver mix; I must perfect the silver/Argentium/999 mix first. You are so advanced. It's great to learn from you. Talking of 'Advanced', I need coffee; again. I got a new phone yesterday; why is there no charger? The new one with a 'C' connecter came today, another expense. The ladies at the pub will show me up and sort it for me. They are quite wonderful helping me like this, not unlike you, dear lady. The Vodaphone shop wanted £25 to load all the apps I wanted. I pay the ladies in jewellery, I get to practice new ideas and display them, and they have the bling; total win/win. Stay safe, Steve xx

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's so good to hear, Steve! Thank you so much for watching and for you kind comment 🥰💕

[@sophielankhorst3575]

Hi, what do you use to hold the ring wile setting the stone?

[@chloemae7791]

it’s so beautiful! i am having issues with my saw blades breaking. Any tips? ❤️

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! ❤️ As for breaking the blades, I have a video on that subject, please check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXqrp5-AZ8yrptk

[@hannahraspin]

Not sure what I am doing wrong but I always find my cabouchons are a bit wobbly or can spin around in my bezel setting - 5mm round ones, any ideas?

[@jeannettesalazar6442]

I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤the ring😊

[@ElesliePatterson]

What do you use to add the patina?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

a little brush, usually the one that's called a refillable watercolour brush

[@roseburkhardtjewelry]

Do you have an Amazon wishlist link? Trying to find the face mask you use

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'm sorry I don't, but it's called GVS mask with filters, it should be available online 😀 I use size S

[@TIG2MAN0]

Hi, I was wondering, typically mens jewlry is larger. Would it be higher profit because more material you can charge more. Also would it be easier to craft since the pieces are latger? Also what type of jewlry sells best for beginner jewlers ring, bracelet, necklace?? Love your videos 😊

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

If you use the pricing formula, then yes, men's rings would be a bit more expensive simply because there would be more material used. But other things go onto pricing, like value and originality, so you can consider these when pricing too. As for the easiness, simple and minimalist jewellery is generally easier to make, but it all depends on the design and complexity of your piece. I wouldn't say that men's jewelry is always easier, but it can be, if you start with simple designs. Good luck!

[@saramorrison6615]

Can I ask? Are the flower embellishments made from silver clay?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I've made them by hand from a silver sheet 💕

[@I0nut09]

can you leave a link to the silver soldering wire? I beg you.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I don't have one link to the silver soldering wire, but you will be able to find it on Rio Grande website, or Cooksongold or similar in your country. You can also Google 'silver solder wire + your country/city name' and I'm sure plenty of results will pop up. Good luck!

[@janlos3785]

Gold does not have lower melting point than silver

[@memobio288]

hello Basia, I'm a big fan of your designs I'm about to finish your videos, Basia i have a question I really hope you answer me, I love gems and love the idea of creating jewelry however I never made one but ı want to start and with good advise from a proffessional like you I'm sure I will start right... is the free videos on internt are enough for me to be a jewelry designer or do I need to enroll in some face to face courses?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I started by myself and was able to become a jewelry maker. I know there are a lot of self taught makers and I think it's worth trying! Even if you don't turn it into a business, you will have an amazing and fulfilling hobby. If you feel unsure if you can pursue this by yourself, I recommend trying a class in your area, if it's available. It's always easier to try smithing having a teach in real life to guide and help you. But if that's not possible for you, I do believe starting slow and trying things step by step by yourself can work! Good luck 🥰

[@memobio288]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thank you for your useful and lovely answer it really helped me thanks again, btw you have kind heart and that we can see on your face, words and designs ... good luck to you too 🌼
