How to Make a Stamped Ring | Jewelry 101

[@kaitlynmakenzie3100]

Please please please post a tutorial of how to solder gems/ stones into metal stamped jewelry!! I’m wanting to learn to solder turquoise stones onto my rings and bracelets!

[@arnoldfossman1701]

One more reason for only filing on the forward stroke is because filing in both directions can reduce the life of your file, this may be less noticeable when working softer metals, but it's still true.

Great as always! Have to try it! You are a wonderful teacher! Thanks as always!

[@evelynflores3137]

I really like these ring you did just now

[@nathalieschumann8499]

Since you structured and stamped your piece before you formed it into a ring it will be workhardened and difficult to form. Annealing could help there. Plus, it is not true that you only get a good impression with one heavy blow. It is also possible to use several quick sharp blows in succession AND if your impression is not deep enough the stamp can be replaced and used again. It is just a matter of doing it carefully and with feeling.

[@alannahconnelly2154]

Do you use half hard material or dead soft?? What would be recommended??

[@marthafontaine9797]

Can you advise of the flat file that you used in this vid? I am new to metals and I think I might need a file like the one you demonstrate. TIA

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! This flat file is made by eurotool. A quick internet search should get you to it. We hope to have some back in stock soon!

[@dionehowell8687]

[@rankin091769]

[@DebyNieto-kq2ci]

21.99 for a premium 36 piece upper case set with free shipping..item #152917866426 just copy and paste in ebays search bar. This is just one example of the many sets you can find including tools and wire, ring blanks, etc..for great prices. Hope this helps.

[@cortneybridgham6298]

Hello! What diameter wrap pliers are you using. There are a few options on Amazon but I did not see a link in the description. Thank you!

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Cortney! This "wrap and tap" plier has three sizes on the barrel, which are 13mm, 16mm and 20mm. JTV, unfortunately is sold out of this plier at the moment, but a quick internet search should yield some affordable results! We really hopes this helps!

[@violaspencer5628]

How to make that prong set gem bypass ring you’re wearing?? And what number is that file?

[@cheriesirk117]

Great job

[@JewelrybyJeanette]

Thank you for the video. Please consider turning off the music while you’re speaking. It’s quite distracting.

[@oquinnd]

Where do you get the silver and other blanks?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! We are sold out of the 16ga flat wire, but a quick internet search will yield some good results! Here is a link to some metal blanks for you: www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=blanks&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@davidgray4567]

You are very good at teaching! Do you teach classes? I’m very interested

[@JewelSchool]

Just here on KZbin! 😃

[@paolamayorga9656]

Alguien sabe a donde puedo conseguir ese metal con el que hizo el anillo? He buscado en Amazon pero no se cual es porque hay uno que lo usan para hacer mascarillas, no se si es el mismo

[@clxreqlowss2641]

How much was the metal you used?

[@JewelSchool]

This is a .925 sterling silver flat wire that is about 5mm across. We are only carrying 21ga flat wire at this time, which really is too soft for this project. Online sale searches yielded some good results on finding flat wire. Most seemed to be in the $40 to $50 range for a section. Keep in mind, sterling silver will be more expensive than a coated wire. For this particular project, you will want to use .925 sterling simply because when a wire with coating is hammered or stamped, it can come off revealing the metal underneath, which is usually copper.

[@bigpapiiii]

Hi, great video! . Question, is the chasing hammer optional to use? like when making these rings, do you have to use the chasing hammer? Thank you again for this tutorial.

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Nakaya! For this particular project, the chasing hammer is important in order to spread out the ends for the stamping. You can skip the texturing if you want. If you're not going to stamp your ring, then just make sure still you file down those sharp edges. Good luck!

[@itsalliii]

where did you get the ring sizer at? 🙂

[@JewelSchool]

This is a stepped wrap-n-tap plier. Susan is using one with larger steps at apx 13, 16 and 20mm. A quick internet search should get you to one. Here is one from Jewel School that is a 9mm through 2mm: www.jtv.com/product/stepped-bail-making-pliers-makes-6-different-loop-sizes-9mm-8mm-6mm-5mm-3mm-and-2mm/JSKIT0925?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@itsalliii]

@@JewelSchool thank you!!

[@luckystamper]

Hi Susan I ha e been making this type of ring using IA aluminum but want sterling. In the kit it has 16ga wire where can I get the flat sterling you used?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi! Here is a link to some Argentium sheet metal that could be used from JTV, check it out here: www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=argentium+sheet&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All

[@TheRhiannonR]

What size stamps are these? 6mm? 3mm?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Rhiannon! The 16ga metal sheet Susan used is 5mm wide, so she used a slightly smaller stamp at 3 or 4mm. Here is a link to all of our available stamping tools and good luck! www.jtv.com/search/?Ntt=stamps&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All?mcid=XSOjsyt
