Making Ceramic Glow Rings with Meteorite and Copper Dust

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

Check out my ring supplies website if you are interested in making rings: patrickadairsupplies.com/

[@BigBladeFan]

Honestly i have to say this your ceramic ri gs are just the best the material out of all of the ones you use ceramic has been the best. I love my meteorite ceramic glowstone ring its beautiful and just great.

[@TheMasterCheese]

*Idea*: Make a resin cast again, but fill it with gallium (a metal with an extremely low melting point, so low that you own body heat is enough to liquefy it). So when you put it on, your body heat will warm the gallium and make it flow around inside the ring. Maybe you could even use different dyes and gems mixed into it. This would be quite expensive however, as pure gallium can't be mined, and must be isolated in a lab.

[@arbrog]

Fosasolah would this actually work with the resin? Resin has a very low heat conductivity meaning would effectively insulate the Galium from your body heat? I suppose it wouldn't take too long to warm the whole ring to 85 deg(melting point of gallium). It would be interesting to make the inlay of one of the metal rings gallium and then seal over top with resin/sealant but I imagine that would be incredibly difficult to get the gallium to fill the inlay rather then just putting little chunks.

[@TheMasterCheese]

arbrog I don't know much about the physical properties of resin, but I'll take your word for it. I suppose making an inlay would work, but you would have to insert the gallium while it is in liquid form to completely fill it, which would be really difficult. Maybe insert a temporary filler on half the ring, apply the outside mold, then remove the filler (something that dissolves in water or chemicals easily.) That would give you a hollow to inject the gallium into without it spilling out. Then simply do the same with the other side. Gallium is also very reactive, which is why it's never found naturally, so you would have to find a way to keep it isolated from the metal on the ring and the outside air. There are many other things to take in to account I'm sure, but it seems achievable to me.

[@arbrog]

I forgot how reactive it is. Yeah I would have to look up if it reacts with tungsten or titanium(I'm lazy so I probably won't). It probably doesn't react with ceramic so those are fine. You could probably pull of a ring of some kind with gallium in it quite a few ways but you're right some of them would be difficult to pull off.

[@TheMasterCheese]

arbrog According to Wikipedia, Gallium at room temperature forms a protective oxide layer, so it is unlikely to react to anything in air or water at room temperature. As for metals, It didn't give any specific metals that it was particularly reactive to. Instead it seemed that most of the reactions involved sulfur and alkali metals, and it doesn't seem that it is able to react to a single metal without some other element involved. I assume that titanium would be fine as long as the necessary elements for a reaction aren't present. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium

[@rockinspots5969]

Fosasolah super cool idea, just wondering A. How he would make it so it has those properties. B. How expensive that would be! 😂😂

[@exemplifiededge]

Oh my.. How did I get here.. I dunno, don't care.. Been binge watching for about a day now😂

[@Skyjems]

Thanks, I'm loving watching these! My first job was at 13 in a gold casting house (with a centrifuge). It's so cool to see such a completely different way of making jewellery!

[@rewapeck771]

I really love watching these old videos there's one in particular that I just saw a couple nights ago work it even hear the sound of the lathe machine the grinding and all that I knew at this so all your newer videos you can't hear all that stuff so when I'm using my leaf machine I kind of cringe sometimes because of the sounds but that video I just watched it made me rethink and realize that it's okay LOL keep up the great work

[@rewapeck771]

Just went back to look it was the evergreen ring and the glow ring from resin the full tutorial I want to see more of those and want the sounds included don't mute it :-)

[@aone5255]

I like that shade of blue. Looks really good.

[@purplemartinracingteam1750]

hand made production work at its finest!

[@missjeanie3519]

This is my favorite ring out of all the rings you made.

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+Miss Jeanie thank you!

[@heyugys]

I have a question and possible suggestion. Have you ever heard of Stuart Semple? He's a UK artist who came up with some of fhe brightest pigmented powder paints I've ever seen(does The Pinkest Pink sound familiar to you). I know right now you're focused on doing things faster and more affordable, but I think you should check out his powders to see how well they work in your projects since you're currently experimenting. It would really cool to buy a ring from you with his ultra florescent green or phaze shifting purple and pink powders.

[@anaphylaxis2548]

Bradley Eccles This sounds like a really cool idea!

[@malisk02]

Love your work (as always) my idea would be a more liquid magma type ring with a deep red/orange glow and maybe a bit of obsidian on the inlay to make it more unique. I don't know much about ring-making or minerals so I understand if obsidian isn't good to work with, I just think it'd be a nice change from all your other blue/green rings and gain a bigger variety. I am aware that on your website you can change the glow of most rings but I'm requesting that you make one that is specifically red/orange that can make future customers have more options. If you ever read this and feel inspired please let me know so I can give you more suggestions in the future.

[@realcrazyguru78]

Malisk 2020 he could use a dark wood blank, and the orange glow

[@malisk02]

-BeforeAndAfter- can't believe someone read all that, he could. Just think something other than blue or green would be appealing

[@realcrazyguru78]

Malisk 2020 i saw magma and got drawn in LOL

[@dank9427]

Fav YTer. Period.

[@connorY0KAI4T7]

YES YES YES! I myself am all for affordable ring from you!

[@rigormortem]

Really interesting way to work with resin! Good work, it's a fantastic starting point for the next expreriment!

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+Mino Ganzerli Thank you!

[@rebelwolf1238]

I like the way the rings look the way they are

[@iRDude415]

Ooohhhh Patrick you did it again! You just can't stop amazing us huh? Keep it my man!

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+iRDude thanks my dude!!!

[@dylanatamian909]

I just want to say I love your videos and keep up the good work

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+Ross Rossome Thank you Ross!

[@mattfuller007]

It’s a great look for them to be like galactic feel

[@W1ll17]

Love your videos, especially the commentary. Big thumbs up from me mate, keep doing what you're doing :) .

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+Willis IV Thank you Willis!

[@Ize-Park]

I would wear one of these exact rings as is. I freaking love them!!!!

[@r.t.dominguez1717]

Nice 👍🏼 simple but creative and eye catching!

[@bumi_scg3564]

The dark blue is nice, i like it

[@vivianz.7156]

The main issue behind the opal part not working as intended is because the flashes of colors that are associated with opal are actually caused by it's physical internal structure diffracting light. So by crushing it up you're breaking that structure and removing a large majority of the opalescence from it. I think a better way to go about it if you want those small parts of opal in the ring is to keep them at about the same size they were before crushing them. Hope this helps!

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+SpectrumExplorer Thank you!

[@Funny_as_Duck]

Good idea to make cheaper rings, love the idea

[@mmlaxamana4587]

Loving all rings you've made.. keep it up 😊😊

[@terripipher1300]

With the blue powder if it's mica powder...less is more I use I use it all the time in my resin I do love this video ..

[@martinhecht6900]

...absolutely amazing design!!

[@Mugelbbub16]

You should do an ombre glow powder and resin ring, like sunset colors, or ocean colors

[@Fuutor]

How about a more greenish glowing ring with little tungsten bits or aluminum (Don't know the one you used in this video) and then a bit bigger blue gems inside. Silver, Blue and Green just sounds like a really dope color combination ! Also, how about testing more patterns of damascus ? You can create a lot of patterns with various forging ways. I don't know how much room you have for testing since it all costs a lot but these are just my ideas ;)

[@rosskie320]

Looking good. Keep up the fun projects

[@dereklacey1]

Those are really nice rings.

[@Ellaineix]

They are soooo cleannnnn

[@danne5866]

Very beatiful these Rings.

[@nino96able]

Rubin red glow meteorite ring would be my favourite and I would definitely buy it :D

[@nino96able]

I mean not literally red but orange, red glow as you've made it before.

[@jtto6364]

Gotta love ingenuity, thanks again for the vids, cheers

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+Jtto Bingodingo thanks!

[@zegzezon5539]

Patrick is the glow right at the end of this video the actual unedited glow of the rings? If answer is in the affirmative, then it's awesome. I visited your website, but might have to save up for a more customized order. Hoping you could have a more affordable options in the future.

[@liamrealest]

This is mildly entertaining

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+HAILSTORM TM you're mildly entertaining

[@Terran343]

they look so amazing, thanks for sharing it

[@aidanm1221]

I love your vids so much, keep up the great work!

[@Ruri1451]

너무 잘 만드는거 같아요 저도 만들어 보고싶다는 생각이 드네요 반지 너무 이뻐요

[@damienstarr]

Those actually turned out pretty awesome really loving watching thw process you go through. Was gonna suggest tiger eye or tiger iron but just noticed theres a video already off to go see that one. Have you tried anything with jade ?

[@tipsandtricksgaming674]

i love to have one of this for my wife to be a wedding ring and we wear it until we got old :)

[@thederrick1966]

Wish he would do more stuff like this

[@ALUKMANNHAKIM]

Superb. I wanna a couple of it.

[@simongnardner9785]

Make a mini light saber with glowstown or some kind of steampunk ring

[@pouzeko]

Try putting strontium 90 in rings... a metal that glows :D its radioactive tho... but not that radioactive. I would totaly buy it instantly

[@nw2kr8bc3t]

Wow these are awesome

[@NShisler]

Love your rings and your vids. Would really appreciate cheaper rings I would love to support you.

[@gmoneyhomie]

Awesome vid!

[@christopherpettway]

Beautiful work

[@mixedmadness5147]

When is the give away? And can I suggest or ask for more wood rings? The bog wood was dope

[@fatelgamer2045]

I liked that blue color

[@karanrathod9016]

The black fits in well with the dark blue so keep it the way it is however the silver ring should be light blue

[@celtgunn9775]

You need to use a deeper purple amethyst & the opal doesn't look like it has any "Fire" to it. Or even the milky opal with pinks, purples & such would have been a great choice. There are So many semi-precious gemstones you could use. Even Smoky Topaz is gorgeous. I know, my Grandpa cut a smoky topaz in an Eagle Eye cut for a gem competition.

[@kanavgupta1256]

Awesome dude.... Pls make black goku's time ring of dragon Ball super

[@realcrazyguru78]

Kanav Gupta LOL

[@dankknight7326]

Yo I know there is a very high chance you might not see this, but I have an idea for your website, can you make it to where we can customize the rings? Like actually customize the looks with the materials that it can be made out of, so we can see what we are getting before we buy, I would greatly appreciate it if you did this. Also if you do see this, can you comment something? It doesnt matter what you comment I just want to know you saw this.

[@malachifulps6905]

I love your rings but I don't have like $300 so I hope you do put some cheaper rings on your website.

[@GlowingSpamraam]

the quality is so disgustingly good i would pay over 1grand for one lol

[@St0N3RZoMBiE]

Do a peridot styled ring like use the stuff in highlighters that make it super lime green yellow Flourecent mix it in with the apoxy clear and add some blue glow powder with some green peridot gemstones and metal shavings and see how it comes out

[@FKJBSDK]

Very nice,how much will it cost for a single ring like this?

[@alexchalatsis9616]

Defenatly intresded to see your progres

[@kkrystus]

I think if you add one layer of clear resin on the top, it could look more deeply.

[@rodline9027]

Great idea for a different process. If I may ask, what pigment are you adding to the glow powder?

[@biomega8230]

Where do you get the ideas from? Your creations are amazing.

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

+pere fornes blazquez thanks! I usually start off with a simple idea then experiment and build off of it.

[@jamesrayle5388]

Great job, you should do a Batman ring

[@ShadowusSnowington]

Looks cool

[@bushidoe9634]

Gorgeous. id love to see peacock ore?

[@tridewacompanyltd3672]

Really good work

[@euanstrachan9834]

I'm just a bloody child who doesn't normally care about rings but I would definitely wear that

[@elimugisha8366]

I love your work those rings are really good can I be able to get one

[@sjei.]

you should try to make a ring with a majority of its as opalite

[@jackloppez2063]

I love your work its beautiful for me so do more and be uniqe and creative

[@tugboat_actual]

Id buy one of the black ones in size 12

[@tomjamonneau5014]

Maybe you may give rings with games or juste choose one person who had commented; -) im fond of your creations

[@thcryomolochtyrannus4546]

Hey can you please do some diamond in some of these and maybe an orange glow color

[@xMourningStar]

Instead of amethyst... use purple Charoite. It's not as translucent as amethyst but has that beautiful purple colour that WOULD stand out (when crushed) in the resin. And lapis lazuli would be beautiful too. And Labradorite. And moonstone! Those ones have a beautiful sheen to them when the sun hits them. Just don't crush them to dust, or you'd not have that property.

[@_hesoyam_bruh]

I want to buy one of this rings

[@nicholasfilanovsky5353]

Where do you get the rings with blank inlays? Or if you make yours where could I get a blank?

[@mihalisliasi2794]

I am 16 years old and i am forward to buy a ring in the upcoming summer.How old can i be to participate in tournament in your website?

[@taimoorsohal]

Wow amazing

[@pythonis1337]

I just finished making a copper acetate ring that looks like this! but mine dont glow and I dknt have any meteorite, just steel/aluminuim shavings

[@TylerDollarhide]

What type of opal did you use? I'm trying to make my own take on this ring, and it bugs me so much that you just say "opal".

[@Hellhorde.]

Whats in the baggie? ohhhh lol no officer that's just my pulverized opal.

[@lallypaprroudi5978]

Fantastic 👌 bro

[@jewelg.dagium3288]

Hello Dude..what is all the material you use to make this ring?..

[@asianperson1925]

You should make like a heaven ring like gold marble or pearl

[@gitzoon8990]

Love it i need 1

[@JorgeRamirez-hs4te]

Can u make two more of these rings ? If so how much would it be to purchase them?

[@MrLuigge]

I would put less colorant and of course the best color ever, orange

[@carter8650]

@Patrick Adair Designs,I wish to buy the Tungsten Glowstone Ring on your website,which size would fit a 10-12 year old,there are size options but of course I dont know the scale.please respond!

[@MrLove10100]

Good job

[@rttr5777]

Can you use more opal with various color pigments ?

[@kallieperkins6375]

You should do rings with ashes

[@tabasdezh]

It was better not to crush the amethyst to become like powder cuz it made the inlay looked a bit foggy... and if you lay a thin layer of glitter at the bottom of the inlay it's gona look better.

[@xenomorph1317]

Just one question, where can i buy and how much??

[@rymenezalkanr7200]

Makes the One Ring with the letters glowing

[@helgusroosjarv2854]

Is it possible to get exactly this ring to somewhere?

[@jokerapexs]

Hi there can i know what mini lathe brand that u use??

[@jay312productions3]

Can I buy one? If so what's the link to the website

[@morisplaygames1316]

You will do a ring with red glowing solution.
