I love your videos but would love a video about how mass produced rings are actually made. When advertising the companies stress that all stones like in a cubic zirconia ring are made exactly the same way a bespoke jeweler would make. They cut the stones and individually set each and every stone. This is so deceptive. If it was done that way, you could not sell a ring for $69.99. Thank you ☺️

Aloha, Love to watch your channel, is that possible to show some examples of ring setting in Men's style? I would assume it would be using the same terms in men's jewelry, but it's easier to get the whole idea of it with images.

Great explanation of the possibilities of longevity & style verses risk & repair or replacement of each of the design aspects. I occasionally design mens rings because...... well, almost no-one does. I designed my self a 2.6ct Asscher cut Santa Maria de Itabira Aquamarine ring in .950 Platinum. Because I dislike big, chunky rings, I had 6 VS1 E 2mm diamonds (representing my 6 Grandkids ) offset to one side @ about 35* into 2 rows of 3 from the table of the feature stone to reduce surface area. The Aqua was "End-set" in the mentioned tension setting to afford maximum light play but was also secured at each corner of the stone by a minute drop of crystal UV activated glue to stop the risk of ANY loosening or movement. It has worked beautifully & everyone remarks on the design & of course, the colour of the Aquamarine itself. Wish I could show it off here... very proud of the finished product.

Does it drive anyone else *Nuts* when online sellers call ALL of their jewelry “Art Deco” ?! Even the machine made pieces made in the 1980’s 😣🤦🏻♀️
@AbrahamsAntАй бұрын
Yes! That is so annoying!! They should call it “Art Deco style” or sth. like that. It’s a fraud and it would be treated as such in a court of law. Unfortunately nobody seems to sue… I think I can distinguish the original from a replica, but you never know. It is quite easy with silver though. Most old rings are 835 plated. That’s not really used in the western world anymore. Original Art Deco jewelry is usually not “Sterling Silver”. Some peaces from the 1980ies (like salamander-brooches and snake-rings..) are pretty though. But they somehow lack the exclusiveness and quality that the hand made, creative and detailed jewelry of the Art Deco makes it so special.

Your Average Jeweler, I have a question. Can a jeweler tell a real stone from a fake by looking at it in the shop? I'm not interested in how much, how clear.. only in things like: "Yes, it's a real stone/gem" maybe even being able to say it's a garnet, amethyst, aquamarine,... . I'm not really that interested in a full analysis and only a rough idea as to value.

Hi! Would you choose a 1.80ct D/E color diamond with low clarity (i1) and good cut over a bit larger diamond (2ct) with J-color, vvs2 clarity and good cut? Thanks so much!
@YourAverageJeweler2 жыл бұрын
It partly would depend on the specific stones and sometimes the lab used for grading, but speaking generally (for my preference) if using white metal go for the “whiter” stone and more yellow stone in a yellow Mount. I world personally want to see the stones next to each other before deciding though. That can sometimes make the decision easy after seeing them in person.

Hello I need help identifying a ring that I can't find anywhere, it's real a real 10k gold antique ring that is very unique and has a hallmark but not found at all as been searching for months. It has 8 real diamonds and are separated in to two different rows of for, one is sticking out facing upwards, and the other row of 4 is facing the opposite direction of the ring normally on the exterior; please help me identify it, I've been trying ever since my mother passed away as she had gifted to me to use as a wedding ring for a future lover.

hello, good day, you know, I have a rarity of alexandrite and it is very large, its tone is medium blue-violet and red, it has more than 10 carats, it is oval, I have it as a collection, I am thinking of selling it
@k.hendrickson87352 жыл бұрын
Not meaning to offend, but HOW do you know it is actually the mineral Alexandrite? That is a rare stone (If it is genuine, natural Alexandrite. It could be synthetic too) Only an official lab inspection and report will tell you for SURE.
