Happy New Year!
To mark the occasion of reaching over 1 million views on the channel plus having my first upload to hit 100,000 views I wanted to give a full instructional guide free to watch for everyone on youtube as a small token of my appreciation for everyone's input to helping the channel grow.
In this full guide I show how you can take a simple thin band and modify it to be a 4 claw single stone ring.
Its the first time I have made this ring so it was an experimental endeavor.
I like the design and has potential to be a convenient and easy way to make single or multiple stone set rings. Please take it and make what ever you wish!

When you're marking your prongs for where to cut, you may find it helpful to take a blue or black sharpie and color the inside of the prongs. Once dry (just a few minutes) you'll find it won't scratch from setting the stone into place. Put some wax on the tip of a toothpick. Place the stone where you want it. Touch the wax to it, twist back and forth slightly, and the girdle will mark the prongs on the bottom edge. If you cut your seat on the bottom edge, it should lower the stone to exactly where you want it.

That sounds ideal I will try it thank you

I like your humour of repurposing a wedding ring. The setting looks good with the time you took to prepare the bezel and 4 posts.

Very nice finish on that ring , I love the making of these but really look forward to the reveal of the finished product like this one , great job ,thank you for sharing , you may have inspired me to have a go at making some jewellery, very intricate work but the end result is what you striving for . Very nice ring that .👍💍

Love the video and you keep us entertained along the way. The ring has turned out gorgeous, I have my dad’s wedding ring I might do something like this for it. Thank you for taking us along!

@TheArtisanTouch Год назад

Your videos ain’t long enough. You should do more single stone designs an the collet to shank process

@anthonygallegos4342 Год назад

Bloody well hand crafting,I always cnc and 3 d printed. Always wanted to try hand craft,you have taught me so much! Thank you!! Very well done. Keep it up.

@johnsmalldridge6356 Год назад

I like the Final design a lot. It makes an allowance for the culet which the initial design did not seem to. It looks quite minimalist and elegant.

@SWINGERINTO Год назад

All you would have to do with the original design is drill into the ring a bit for the pavillion. That said, I agree. The final version is nicer than the original aesthetically.

@johnsmalldridge6356 Год назад

@@SWINGERINTO you could drill the bottom out and I’ve had to do this before but I find it less than ideal for clear stones.

@SWINGERINTO Год назад

@johnsmalldridge6356 any stone that doesn't window, cut to the proper critical angles or doesn't have a culet should not have a problem. That moissanite won't have a culet. Most diamonds don't either.

@DiamondMounter Год назад

Its simplicity is a positive but I can imagine a more complex version working also (split shoulders, pave set etc)

@jjsmama401 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for making these videos!

@DiamondMounter Год назад

Welcome! If this video does well with viewer numbers I may release more as the channel grows. 20,000 subscribers mile stone could be next😉

Great!

@kxjewelry7809 Год назад

Brilliant! I love it when you make a full instructional guide for non-patrons. The Patrons must have a load of knowledge.. I gotta become one soon! Also love that the Diamond Mounter is actually mounting (setting) gemstones. Sorry Chris, actually not bagging on you.. you have Mad Skills, and I have learned so much! Most people don't know that Jewelers, goldsmiths, gem setters, ect are all specialized trades and requires different skills! I respect that you are getting into setting. I would love to see more videos about you learning to do grain setting, pave settings, ect. I have made a few videos.. very shotty and not very good. Give Chris some respect! It takes a lot of time and effort to do what he does! Chris has a genuine desire to teach and goes through a lot of effort. Thanks Chris! Your channel is my favorite 😍

@DiamondMounter Год назад

Thanks KX for your kind words I always see your comments. Yes eeking some setting in to my videos. I will do some more setting videos from now on.

@julialee8198 6 месяцев назад

Round brilliant cut has some kind of square dimension on the table of the stone. Can use these corners to match and control prongs to set.

@christinemcdaniel9299 3 месяца назад

Love all the detailed explanations!! Getting the positions straight and depth good is not as easy as it looks to be sure! Also, I only have 1 cat assistant so..more help required 😂

@CrisGaccount Год назад

Fantastic!! thanks a lot for the video and congratulations on reaching this milestone. Well deserved!

@johnoakes6772 Год назад

@ejbh3160 Год назад

Happy New Year Chris - keep up the great work & congratulations on the million views milestone.🥳🥳😸

@cazimbo1 Год назад

Hi thanks for the tutorial. I went ahead and enrolled in the free tutorial hoping to find some wire sizes that you use as you don't say in the video either. It would be more than helpful to know wire sizes as we are not experienced enough to jut know these things. Thanks again for your videos and now tutorials.

Thanks Froger3 same to you too

@jayleeaugust9986 Год назад

I'm about to start learning how to cut notches with a dremel to eventually set an emerald and gold ring. It's making me so anxious, lol. Practicing on pendants first.

@tommy50842 Год назад

Thanks a lot 👍🤗

@margaret9290 Год назад

Love your channel, I have learned such a lot thanks, I wondered if you may find pumice stone (volcanic rock) useful as a soldering block, I have used it for years, it can be sanded flat, you can stick pins in it, I use old pins and sewing machine needles to pin items down, and when it gets worn just sand it down again, I can draw on it with a pencil, I also use small pieces to carve out shapes to stick the claws of my settings into, it protects the claws from the flame, I could not be without my pumice blocks.

I can’t find a definition of “phrasing” anywhere else. I assume it means bending in the prongs, but can you possibly clarify? I’m an almost total beginner!

@julialee8198 6 месяцев назад

That horizontal ring line may reflects some kind of dark shadow through the clear stone?

@WhittSuiter 11 месяцев назад

What is the micromotor or pneumatic on your bench?? it has a swirl design on the housing, what is it?

@AleatrisMichel 4 месяца назад

@whittsuiter - The micromotor that he’s using is the “Sea Force Twister X”. You can google the title and find their webpage which is in Japan.

@nathithejeweler_za Месяц назад

Hey love your detail explanation. Can I kindly ask do you know any apprenticeship in your country that takes other jewellers from other countries.

@DiamondMounter Месяц назад

No and its very unlikely one exists. Basically Japan doesn't like, trust or want foreigners here. I couldn't even get a jewellery supply shop to sell me anything when I was new here.
