How to Make a Simple Sterling Silver Ring | Step-By-Step Ring Making Tutorial

[@garylile4798]

It would be nice to know the gauge size of the silver half round wire

[@MisterStarr]

Love this video so much! The only thing I keep struggling to find information is where do I get silver, gold, and items of that sort to work on. I can’t get a lot since I am still practicing but that’s my main question, where to source things to make.

[@JessVanDen]

Depends where you're located. I've heard good things about Rio Grande in the US. I buy from Palloys here in Australia.

[@kayemason4778]

Great video. You have an easy voice to listen to and explained the processes clearly and simply. Thank you. I’ll be checking out your other videos. ☺️

[@JessVanDen]

Thank you!

[@NayaSeitzer-65-l3o]

Love this Video Jess Van Den ❤❤❤

[@Theepieguy]

Thanks, I'm planning on making a ring for my girlfriend for our engagement at some point, and am using different videos for references on techniques. This showed me how to do a lot with the base.

[@JessVanDen]

That's a lovely idea, good luck!

[@Theepieguy]

@@JessVanDen Appreciate it, hope your channel continues to do well!

[@JohnDoe-uz7mq]

Great video. Just curious, how do you collect and retrieve all of the shavings?

[@chriswilly5225]

Hello from Houcine. Morocco

[@eduardorivera508]

Hello. Would these tools and steps also be the same for making a white gold ring? Id like to purchase gold and some silver casting grain to start. Thank you for this video!

[@handcraftedbybel8178]

Wow really enjoyed watching this video. So interesting to see how a ring is made! Thanks for sharing :)

[@JessVanDen]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kimmybeebee3764]

[@joannanorma]

[@JessVanDen]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patg6705]

Great video, Thanks for sharing

[@JessVanDen]

Thanks for watching!

[@kayvanrabbani-gl6hk]

Awesome video!! I’ve been searching for the silver you used here to buy to try and make my own! Could you tell me what gauge/width/height and the style etc. the one in this video was? I think it’s half round? But that is all I know lol Thank you for the upload, really enjoyed watching!

[@ARandomPersonAgain]

Question, after annealing the ring. Do sterling silver rings need to be reharden?

[@JessVanDen]

Absolutely yes.

[@ARandomPersonAgain]

​@@JessVanDen Thank you, I realize that may not have been a smart question after watching a couple more videos and understanding a bit more of the process with sterling silver. lol..

[@Joanisblessed-focused]

Does the company accept orders for several specific designs of rings for a product developer? I have a design patent for a jewelry accessory and I am looking for a manufacturer/distributor or preferably a licensee. Any feedback appreciated.

[@xTr4c3d]

So ive got like 10oz of pure silver. 200 small loose diamonds and a 9 karat sapphire. Can i easily make things or just not even try and pay a professional to do it?

[@lprice4601]

Do you always use half round? Dead soft or? What gauge? Thank you.

[@JessVanDen]

Usually half hard/medium - we use all sorts of different sizes and shapes, but the same technique for all.

[@joeb9383]

How long do you keep the ring in the quench and the pickle? Is the quench just plain cold water?

[@JessVanDen]

Yep, quench is just cold water to take the heat out before you put it in the pickle. Time in pickle varies - just until the scale has come off the ring - you can see the difference once it does.

[@joeb9383]

@@JessVanDen thank you!

[@phyllistinetinker9076]

Hello I know this is old but what size is the wire please? Thank you

[@JessVanDen]

From memory, I think we're using 5mm half-round in this video. Might be 6mm.

[@ErichBProductions]

Can you reccomend where to look for a place to purchase silver wire? I'm in the US.

[@JessVanDen]

I've heard good things about Rio Grande, but never bought from them myself.

[@otterlycharmingUSA]

You mentioned you don't hand saw anymore because you have a drop saw. What is a drop saw?

[@JessVanDen]

Like this, but for metal: www.thewoodworks.com.au/shop/machinery-power-tools/mini-drop-saw/saw-drop-cut-off-240-volt-kgs-80-27-160-detail

[@cosminchucky5878]

can you make me a silver ring?

[@JessVanDen]

You can purchase a wide range of silver rings from us at Epheriell.com

[@Protocol-X]

This video would have been great, but you started off assuming everyone hat ring shaped silver stock. If you explained how to melt and form the stock or at least advise the uses, you can buy it at the ridiculous premium. The video would have been useful. Considering the video appears to be geared towards users that have no equipment, you cannot expect them to know this information.

[@renatoe3417]

Can you explain why I need to know that ? I’m just getting interested in Metalsmithing
