She's a beaut! Really lovely work ,such a stunning stone. I really enjoyed your video. Keep them coming.

[@davross_au]

Thanks for the kind words :)

[@tammygurl64]

Wow... that is beautiful! The mirror shine is amazing and the way the stone snapped into place was PERFECT! 👍 I do a little bit of wire wrapping and create round wire-wrap bezels to set CZ's in pendants and there's no better sound than hearing it "snap!" on the first try. 😊 I'd love to have tools and a safe little work space to practice what I've been learning from video tutorials such as yours. You do fabulous work! Thanks for sharing your valuable skills! Cheers! 🙂

[@davross_au]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@palicreate7375]

Nice create..

Thank you! Cheers!

[@roslyngomez3369]

Wow, that pendant is really beautiful. I wish I had all your tools. I noticed you really polish quite a bit. No wonder it looks so darn good.

[@davross_au]

Thank you very much! - - Polishing jewellery was the 1st thing I learned .

[@lydiaandnick]

Wow! Amazing!

Thank you for the share, I am your 127th subscriber looking forward to some more videos

[@davross_au]

No worries at all Mike the wood worker .. I thought your video was awesome :)

[@dances56]

Great design. I love it. Little tip that I use for measuring around bezel. I use sticky tape and it doesn't slip around the stone. Overlap and mark with a pen then cut on the line. Perfect....

[@davross_au]

Great tip Lana .. I will use next time I set a cabachon :)

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

pendant is awesome

[@davross_au]

Thanks :)

[@maureenchandler2287]

I wrote something and cant find it so Ill try again. You just made a beautiful pendant. I ordered some stamps waiting for them to get here. But I might try something like yours. Thanks a lot. Maureen Chandler

[@davross_au]

Hi Maureen, Tanks for your kind words, All the best for your new projects :)

[@marylusky2224]

This is the first time I have seen you on UTube. Thank you so much. Great instruction and techniques. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!

[@davross_au]

Awesome! you are most welcome :)

[@SoulfulVeg]

Great work. I started a class before COVID shutdowns, so I didn't complete mu bezel. I'm going to try it this weekend.

[@davross_au]

Good luck! - we always have to do some learning and growing .. keep Safe :)

[@kimberleyjewers140]

very cool, love it! I assume you annealed bail after texturing it before bending it?

[@walleaeaglehawk]

Love your work, keep it up!

[@davross_au]

Thank You Wallea

[@CannonCornelia]

Hi, I enjoyed this video. Thank you for creating and sharing it. You make it look so easy Just wondering why you put the piece in water while it's still just red?

[@davross_au]

Hi @CannonCornelia.. I quenched in water whist still hot - to keep the piece work hardended -- so I wont loose the dome shape

[@chanalowenthal3897]

Could you please tell us where you got the chart when you were finding where to place the bezel? It looks like a great tool to use. Thank you for sharing your work and technique. I especially appreciate the template of your work that you made. It helps in the design an making process.

[@davross_au]

Hi Chana ... The chart comes out of the book .. The Complete Metalsmith, By Tim McCreight.. page 136 of the appendix.. Thanks for watching :)

[@rociobaca6775]

Me gusta el acabado y la piedra bien colocada al engaste. Como se llama el instrumento q utilizo para colocar bien la piedra?

[@CannonCornelia]

I wonder if you might do a tips and tricks video on how to heat a big sterling silver base without melting the bale. I seem to always melt the bale. I also seem to end up with a chunck of solder that will not melt. ugh. Any advice is appreciated. 😊

[@davross_au]

Heat controll is what any Jeweller will need to develop .. When I was a beginner .. the teachers would give us projects that would combine a very large object to be soldered to a small object.. and it takes time to get a feel for how much you can heat an object befor it melts or is the solder does something undesireable .. getting your flame hot enough is one issue .. and learning how to move your flame out of the way quickly befor you melt the items .. as well as the larger item needs more heat and the smaller item need way less heat. and how to balance between heating the 2 at the same time.. I will persist in putting another video up about soldering . But my new studio is not completly set up at the moment . . I have recently moved and will need a bit of time . Thanks for watching :)

[@asadali4691]

Fantastic work to see Turquoise my favorite!So could you please add more brightness in your videos?Then everything would be much clearer! Actually i don't wanna use my device settings brightness all time!😁😁😁

[@davross_au]

Fair enough .. I will endevor to get my brightness setting sorted out .. thanks for the feedback :)

[@kimberleyjewers140]

oh and pendant as well after texturing?

[@stacynathan4263]

Hi, great video! just wanted to know what kind of polish you use, was it a rouge or Zam?

[@davross_au]

Hi Stacy The final poslish I used fabuluster :)

[@juliew1426]

Nice work! I love watching how beautiful things are made. BTW, where are you from? Can't place the accent.

[@davross_au]

Thanks Julie Originally From texas The US . now living In Australia :)

[@juliew1426]

@@davross_au Wow! What a combo! I can detect a little TX, still. Very interesting.

[@amylee6115]

Hey! What are the metal tools you used for stamping the different sized longer straight lines on the piece? I am having a hard time finding them!

[@davross_au]

Hi Amy Lee ... one of those things a Jeweller learns along the way is how to make simple tools ... learn how to anneal Steel .... then learn how to make tool hardened / tempered :)

[@legendrebernard2549]

Thumb up and suscribed merci beaucoup :) :)

@DAVROS JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD SOURCE FOR STAMPS PLEASE.

[@annedarr1894]

TY

[@davross_au]

Thanks Anne :)

[@deborahhardeman8802]

Is it better to not back the bezel with plate. ? I am just learning, and ask questions.😳😳

[@davross_au]

Hi Deborah .... The bezel wire that I am using has a step in it... which becomes the seat for the bottom of the stone ..... You can use a few ways of dealimng with the void beetween the base of the stone to the top of the dome...... thr Navajo indians use / or used sawdust .... some people use epoxy resin / setters cement (some think this is a controversial approach). Keep on learning and keep asking Questions ... :)

[@tashiangmo9010]

What is the cost of penxent

[@deborahhardeman8802]

I know this has nothing to do with the video. Im so stuck on your accent, you sound slightly Australian/American I can’t tell 🙈

[@SkyReapr]

So I checked your Instagram and can tell you’ve definitely picked up in the Aussie accent. Also you live about 2 hours from me ☺️
