Gilberto carlos morais de oliveira Oliveira gracias amigo !

Thanks Danny for your nice words

@@heinikendude You are more than welcome.

Using super super sharp and great tools help. Gold is a relative soft material. So it’s quite easy to bend

@@heinikendude where can I get some tools like gravers and good drill bits

Hi, Not really grams but more micro grams ;-)

We're removing metal to create tiny tiny holes/seats for the diamonds. Eventually we bend over even smaller prongs to secure the diamonds.

Nico Papadopoulos thanks for the question. If you look towards the end of the video you see that tiny prongs are being pushed over the diamonds. Check out some of my other videos to get a better understanding of the technique ;-)

@@heinikendude hi, I saw the process of bending the prongs over the stone, but couldn't figure out how did you make the prongs

@@fieldmarshaljoe they were chiseled out 4 from each square it looked like

Jacques Roux thanks for your question. I normally don’t drill through because there is no need to do so. Also in this case there was a big engraving on the back of the cross.... ;-)

@@heinikendude Poor stonesetters like me definitely needs to drill through any jewels, ‘cause i’m usually setting stones in thin materials and the customers always ask the price for one gram of gold. 😩

HI Malcolm, thanks for your comment! Reach out to me when that day comes ;-)

Hi Dani, the prongs are actually really pushed over the diamonds. Later these little piles of gold are cleaned up with a bright cut graver ;-)

HI Merca, i believe the cross was about 1.8 - 2.2 mm thick but don't recall exactly

That's an home made tool, sort of a very big prong pusher but used to hold the table of the diamond.

Hi Triple Six, If the theemoloch heats up to fast you are doing something wrong. It could be that your drill bits are not sharp enough and you therefore have to push to hard. My drill bits go in like into warm butter. But I also only use carbide tips, which are much sharper than traditional ones. Also use some lubricant to cool down the drill and ease the drilling.

Hi Andijvie, Ik ben enkel bekend met de GRS setup en de JuraTools Setup. De laatste heeft mijn sterke voorkeur.

@@heinikendude Oke, ik kan dat helaas niet permitteren, want ik moet rekening houden met mn budget 😆

HI Devesh, the gravers I use are from JuraTools and mostly 60 degree carbide

Miguel Ruiz we buy at diamond exchange Antwerp

The ground

Think it is called Thermo-Loc or a similar product. You heat it up and becomes soft and flexible. Goes hard when cooled.

Yes you are correct Lenmil! ;-)

Hi Stocks Up, I would suggest to find a master to teach you. Check out GRS in Emporia

KOLOBOK UA yes that is very hard. Always sharpen your graver during work. ;-)

Gracias!

I have what they call "fingerspitzengefühl" so I feel how deep i'm drilling. ;-)

vandoorenniels thank you for the reply I like your content it’s very interesting to watch

HI Da Wavy, Oh, I do not recall as I do a lot of work for other jewellers/goldsmiths.

There are very very tiny prongs. If you check out some more of my videos then you will start to understand the process ;-)

Ok thanks
