Hey so this is a late response but I’ll reply to this since no one else has haha, I am a bench jeweler and blacksmith and I can confirm that the idea of a solitaire ring is whenever a diamond is singularly mounted onto a ring or design. The stone in this video is a brilliant cut Round stone, a cushion cut is usually a more square stone with round over corners in appearance from the top. Hope this helps, God bless - Ian Z
Hey being a jeweler myself still novice only been doing for maybe 5ish years why did you not anneal your ring shank when you were forming it? Or did you do it off camera?
I know this video is 2yrs old, but I just have to ask: How to you calculate the measurements for the setting? I can't seem to find anywhere a description on how to calculate from the diameter of the stone, to find the diameter of the compass. I know how to find circumference from diameter, but thats not what he has done in this video ..
By experiencing,,?,, or he may use a thin silver plate to do a quick test. Most goldsmiths do that, especially with unexpected measurements for handmade jewelry.
