Ciao, sei un grande orafo davvero! Abbiamo notato che sai usare molti strumenti, oltre i classici da banchetto anche progetti CAD, laser da saldatura. Questo ti rende un orafo eclettico e che oktre alle mani usa molta testa. Ti apprezziamo in particolar modo perchè sappiamo cosa significa affrontare un nuovo gioiello, diverso dagli altri. Proprio come te creiamo gioielli personalizzati e riparazioni con tutta la strumentazione possibile ma con lo strumento più importante di tutti: la testa

This is incredible! I worked as a welder for 6 years which destroyed my vision, joined the military and got Lasik. Did 8 years, got out, and tried to go back to welding but my eyesight is just too senstitive for welding now. Ive been looking into the Jeweler trade and trying to get as much info as possible to get entry into the field. Im also learning rhino 3d in my spare time. Any tips? San diego, here!
If you’re in San Diego, The Gemological Institute of America is right up the street from you. Definitely worth a visit if you’re considering getting into the trade!
I am getting going in garage. I can weld and a decent sculptor but never anything this small. Tedious process as well but it’s making me more methodical which I need. I have a centrifuge and a similar furnace. Getting started. Thanks for the videos
Hey Pal, I learned so much from this video. Thank You. I truly appreciate it. Can i ask you a question after the final completion of the product how much Gold did it weigh in total ?
This is very similar to the way it was taught to me in college, except we used a torch to melt the metal rather than a furnace. Such a fun class! Thanks for the refresher!
look on indeed. a lot of times there's jewelry apprentice jobs where you can get your foot in the door and then from there u just work your way up. I started in a grill shop
I came across this movie by accident, and I tried very hard not to comment on it, but I can't, first of all, this ring should cost tens of thousands of dollars, because to run a melting furnace for 20 grams of gold??? second to use such a large flask for one ring ???? , this obviously involves the use of a very large amount of gypsum, which is a huge cost it could be done in a flask with a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 70 mm and instead of melting 30 grams of gold (no sense) you can use 10 grams and melt it with a burner in a crucible and the effect will be exactly the same
I need a stronger torch. Having tried submersing and the thermal paste - the stone is wide, the shank is split and spread out and it is silver. I spent hours with one torch, two torches, different angles and different solders. Sooooo frustrating. Ruined my reverse action tweezers - I heated the ends in the hope they would combat some of the cooling effect of the water and burned all the wood at the top! And no, they didn't help to heat the shank for soldering. This is a really useful tutorial, thank you so much for sharing, I can see why this method has worked for me in the past, but not this time.
Hi I don't understand one thing. When you put the flask into the kiln at first the flask was upside down but when you took out the hole was up top. Did you change it in between?
Good catch. Yellow gold and Rose gold alloys definitely need to be pickled after casting, white gold usually comes out fine, but I may have pickled it, since it helps to break down any residual investment, and just not shown it in the video.
