This is the coolest technique for ring making I’ve seen. Can’t wait to try this one day

[@simonerossi910]

Humble, kind, experienced. Thank you very much and congratulations on your perfect work!

[@SC-rb2jr]

Great video. All steps explained fully. I like the version that uses thicker metal for the mountains than the sky.

[@michaeljohnson1329]

Excellent instructional video. I have watched numerous videos on jewelry making in an attempt to learn the craft at my pace in my home and to keep things affordable in my retirement. Yours was one of those where I finally had that, aha! Moment. I could never figure out just how to calculate the correct size of the ring blank. Aha! I should have remembered my shop math, but it was elusive. Thank you, and thank you for the cool ring type that I will attempt to create next.

[@GomeowCreations]

Thanks and yeah they could bend over time. You can make the thicker to help keep that from happening. I made a new version on this ring with a silver core ring that helps make it all stronger and makes it so the copper and brass will not be in contact with your finger

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem 😊

[@KRich408]

Use plain paper and Cyanoacrylate to hold it on the piece you will have no worry about it lifting off when cutting the paper and glue can then be sanded off when needed.

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah that would also work well for this. I use the label paper on larger pieces of metal so it has a kinda brim to them and it has no problem with sticking. It's just when it's a tight fit that it becomes a problem 😊. That being said I will do that in the future.

[@pharmycat10]

Stunning...I love mixed metals!

[@mjremy2605]

The most important thing I learned here is that solder can flow upwards! The things I did not know! This was equally fascinating as a 'how is it done' mystery solved, as well as an excellent demo, many thanks! ☺ So generous of you to share your knowledge and beautiful craftsmanship. You are an excellent teacher! 😍 After darkening and wire wheel polishing - wow! Superb. I love the contrast!!! Metals in two thicknesses, so clever! I love that raised look with the subtle patina shading, what an artist! The background music gave me a headache and made it hard to hear your voice.

This could be pretty cool if you can find two different metals that react to chemicals differently you could make a golden mountain range with anodized blues and reds in the sky over them I think that could look amazing especially if you do something like a gold mountain with a silver lining then the anodized sky colors

Hi. Id love to try make a bangel with this idea. This tyoe of technique i guess.

Thanks and no problem 😊 when you do use it just make sure you have a little extra on the metal to keep it from coming up when sawing

[@Janderson5787]

Question And maybe I missed this. What sealer do you use for the copper? I find that the copper turns the finger green. I and looking for a good sealer for copper jewelry.

[@GomeowCreations]

So the sealers that I have used in the past work but they really don't last that long depending on how acidic the persons skin is. One thing that you can do that might last a lot longer is use a clear UV resin.

[@fillingourbucket]

I love this. I'm going get to this project... could I use e6000 glue?

[@GomeowCreations]

No, don't use e6000 to do this. It's just going to make a mess and will not hold up over time. This is more or less a soldering project. Also don't use a soldering iron or soft electrical solder, you will need a torch and hard silver solder. 😊👍

Help, I used 18 gauge copper and sterling glued them together then sawed the pieces. Then torch unglued them. Now when I go to solder the copper and sterling mountains don’t fit snuggly together because the saw blade created a gap the width of the blade. Since solder won’t fill gaps what do you suggest I do? Thanks in advance for your help. In gratitude, Tina

Thank you for replying to the comment so quickly. I forgot to ask a question that what is the size of the saw blade you used for cutting 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm copper plates?

Spectacular video!! I am goin to try one of these tomorrow!! How do you keep the copper from tarnishing and turning someone's fingers green? New supporter!!

[@GomeowCreations]

So the earliest way to keep the silver Frome reacting with peoples skin is to line the inside of the ring in silver. Basically a silver core. Just about all clear coats that I have used don't last very long.

[@PourMeAnother]

@@GomeowCreations would stainlees steel work, like 304?

[@GomeowCreations]

Yes but you would have to buy a pre done ring core or cut one out with a lathe seeing that you can make it from a sheet of it

@@GomeowCreations that will work. I have copper, brass and stainless steel. Thank you so much!!

That is a real cool project , I'm going to do it in silver and 14 yellow. Dumb question : how did you do that one that shows mountain protruding

[@GomeowCreations]

Just use different thickness of metal. Like the copper and brass ones that I have I used 0.6mm copper and 0.8mm brass. Make sure to solder them on a flat surface so the inside can me more flat and the out side will have more of a protrusion.

So if you want them to have different thickness like my copper and brass ones, I just used 0.6mm copper and 0.8mm brass. As for the saw blade, I used the 3/0 for all of this even though bits not really meant to cut metal that is that thick. 😁👍

How do you go about valuing your work? Just getting started in making jewelry myself and am having a hard time deciding on pricing. So far I've made 1 pendant from 304 stainless and a shiva eye shell teardrop. It was a rather large pendant and an involved process, machined it out on a manual mill. I managed to sell it for $80, but I feel like that was both too low and too high at the same time. I put around 14 hours of time into it, but the materials weren't worth much. They were just very difficult to work with. I originally wanted $150 for it, but I accidentally took too much out on the facing side of the seating area. My wife talked me down to $80.

[@GomeowCreations]

I use a random number generator.... I'm kidding but yeah you are going to have a hard time selling stainless steal items like that. You are competing with cheap Chinese items along with the metal not really being worth anything so most people will just not pay for it. According to your under you only got about $6 per hour for your work and that is not including materials. Even at your $150 price point is only $10 per hour. I'm not saying that you can't get more money for them but you have to find a way to add value to your work but I can't tell you how to do that seeing that I really don't know. Sorry I can't me of more help. 😅👍

[@kanmeridoc1784]

@@GomeowCreations no worries, I appreciate you taking the time to reply. It's an interesting spot to be in for sure. When I get it down well and am making flawless pieces I could probably charge more just on the principle of it being hand crafted art. I mean painters do it XD. I think I might save the gemstones for more precious materials, and try my hand at simple engravings for the stainless. Or maybe just drop that material altogether except for very simple pieces. It's a real pain to work with. Gotta say I'm jealous of the way silver smiths get to wrap the bezel wire around the stone to make the setting. So much easier.

[@GomeowCreations]

You can always get some silver 😁👍

[@kanmeridoc1784]

@@GomeowCreations I'm definitely going to. Just gotta make one more piece from the stainless. I was doing 2 as mother's day gifts on sort of a commission. In fairness I have to do both similar. After I get paid for those I'll be experimenting with some pure silver coins I've bought over the years to see what I can do in the way of casting. If that fails, I'll remelt them into sheet metal and go from there.

[@tinagoodrich4037]

Question, please HELP. I followed your instruction but used my own drawing. Here’s my problem I need help with: the saw blade leaves a small gap the size of the blade so when I put the copper and sterling pieces together b4 soldering there is a slight gap.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

So if using more expensive metals like gold and silver, is there any way to make such a single ring (only one per design) using half the material? Or would that involve just making the gauge of sheet and width of ring band thinner? Also, with the difference in melding/heating temps between two metals, how do you know what solder to use for your joint, and do you heat one piece more (longer than the other to get an even temp or is that not a worry? Really like this idea. Also really like puzzle rings that aren’t soldered together but fit like this. Good video!
