[@victoriairias7703]

I found a tip, if you want a size 6 for example, you start wrapping it in the mandril 2 sizes down for you to have the size you want because it will expand as you see. And if it to lsmall then you just stretch it, it's just to get the starting hoop for rings

[@jessiecuppens1251]

thank you so much for this video! i would realy like to lern this. Do i use easy, medium or hard solder for the birthstone ring? thx!!

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya Lady Stardust, yes more questions from me. Can you polish off the gold if you overdo it when shinning with very abrasive tools? would it not be better to mark the cutoff point of a ring for fitting a tube, then move 4mm along the wire, then cut, so the extra wire instead of being in your hand is still on the length of wire and available to use? It gets to me, we cut off the piece and put it in recycling when we could still use it. Using flush-cut cutters would help with cleaning up the ends prior to soldering. Less filing to do. Steve...

[@harukacc9547]

Thank you very much for uploading the video! Can you tell me where I can buy the same gold filed wire! Thank you.

[@PHGFF45656]

I think you are the first ever person to show us how you solder gold filled metal. Do you think this could be done with chunkier pieces?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

My pleasure! :)) I hope you enjoyed this video. I never done this with chunkier pieces, mainly because gold fill isn't ideal to solder and might tarnish over time. So if I do any soldering, it's usually just a little bit, like these rings

[@madelynkennedy8495]

Hello :) that looks like great fun :) question: is gold filled solid gold, it’s so confusing eg; gold filled, plated, bonded etc etc please if you have the time can you tell me about gold filled and what it really means ?? I would be grateful :) (gal from oz)

[@papergardenco]

What is the best solder to use with copper rings? Is there one that isn’t silver or gokd? so that you don’t get a line? Is the one you use here okay? Would be better than the silver. Newbie to metal smithing 😊

[@marian1576]

Lovely work! Thank you! I'm wondering about the open ring and the edges of the hammered area. Since the wire is gold-filled, won't the inner metal show through on the edges, and are they likely to tarnish along the edge?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's very likely! Might require some extra cleaning from time to time

[@jackiedavies3751]

Very well presented, are you using easy solder?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

yes, this was easy solder! :) Thank you for watching

[@eliskaholcakova5896]

Hi, can I ask which pikl and flux gel are you using?? Or where are you buying these components?

[@alpal0925]

If you cut gold filled wire like in the open ring, isn’t the brass core then exposed? Won’t it effect the ring?

[@shinyoungchoi5235]

Hi! I love this video as I struggle so much for setting bezel tube. You do not use any glue when you set stone that way? Is it secure? Please please let me know if you see this. Thank you once again. p.s. your voice is so lovely!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much for kind words, sweetheart! :) No, I don't use any glue in this setting. Just the pushers and making sure the stone is well secured. If the sizes are matched correctly (of the stone and bezel) it will be secure

[@amyandrews1699]

Hey! Great tutorial! Just a quick question though.. How does the gemstone not fall through the center of the tube? Does it have a built in “seat”? Thanks!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yes, there's a seat for it inside! So it sits nice and cozy in there :) Happy you enjoyed watching, thank you!

[@delanychai706]

Where do you get your materials from

[@kendram13]

I have to try this! I was told in school that gold filled wire couldn’t be soldered

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I think what they meant was that it shouldn't be, that perhaps it's a rule not to solder it as it's not ideal. I do agree with it, it's best to do cold connections when it comes to gold fill, but at the same time, why not take advantage of other possibilities! Obviously this is not as good or as valuable as the solid gold, but that's precisely why people choose it, it's a more affordable option 😃 And it can be soldered, so no harm if someone want's to play with it :) Definitely give it a go if you want to! And good luck 🌞

[@kendram13]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thanks so much ☺️

[@user-lx5gz2on2i]

does the open ring tarnish over time since the core is exposed?

[@HeidyHenke]

Thanks for the video! Curious why you said sterling and GF need separate pickle solutions?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

when I pickled silver with GF, silver got plated by the copper that as inside of the GF metal. It is wise to never contaminate the pickle which you use with silver by any other metal. Hope this helps!

[@sayurisoboku]

Thank you so much for sharing. Great works and tutorial ! I really love to watch your video channel. I am wondering if the 14k gold surface of gold-filled wire would diminish or not.Could you tell me it is ok if I polish it by using file or sand?I am from Japan. thank you for your time! 🌸

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you! Very happy you liked it :) Gold fill is a bit better than plating, and lasts longer, however it still can be removed if too much sanding and polishing is done on the surface. It's usually best to avoid soldering with gold fill (and choose cold connections). But if soldering is required, it's best to solder very carefully, so there isn't a lot of cleaning required afterwards. Files might be too abrasive, so I personally prefer sanding paper and buffing sticks (or medium silicone attachments for rotary tool). It's a cheaper alternative to solid gold and more attractive alternative to cheap plating or brass. It does diminish over time a little, it won't last as long as solid gold, but I think it's still great to use this metal if you want to create gold colour jewellery of better quality than plating or brass! Hope it all makes sense haha 🌸🌞
