I also preferred the original. Also, the customer now has far fewer diamonds and less gold than she had before! I find some of the workmanship to be sloppy too. The solder joints on the jump rings (what he calls O rings) were not tight joints as they should be. He was filling gaps left by using cutters that were not flush cutters - frowned upon in the world of goldsmithing.
you should do the before and after look at the end of the video. It will look even cooler as it gives a reminder of how the jewellery was before the fixing/changing.
I love that after binge watching many of your videos I started to predict what step will come next, whereas before I had no idea of how jewellery is made! Thank you for sharing your craft!
This channel is beyond cozy and informative, I can truly pay attention and learn, apply the theory mentally and differently. Thank you once more for a lovely video, my warmest blessings to you and your family, that itty bitty hand melted my heart while you were melting your wax.
I learn this in school, but because of Covid we don´t do much practical work anymore. Mostly theory for the last months. So to see this is a balm for my heart. I love metal work and smithing. Thank you sooo much I needed this today!
I think everything that depends on the customer. I presume that any leftover materials are either sent back to the customer if preffered or are discounted from the price and will be used in his later projects.
Love this bracelet, and I know your client will, too. BTW, I noticed some little hands in the mix. I know it can't be easy to keep those curious little fingers away from things they shouldn't be touching or playing with. That is the age when they are so curious and fun...and adorable.
I find it fascinating how often 3D printing is used as part of a manufacturing process, as opposed to just directly manufacturing items via 3D printing. It's such a useful and versatile technology.
Y’all having like a cinematic experience or smt too when the music plays and everything just seems to slow down as the wax chips melt before speeding up again or? (Reminds me of a rly nice documentary 👀)
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing. I found you on Instagram and have learned so much from the short clips you post there. I’m happy I found you! Thanks putting quality informative jewelry videos out for everyone!
I was just thinking how pretty it would be if made thinner/more dainty and turn it from a bracelet into a necklace. Same look just less bulk that would allow it to be longer and maybe also more of the diamonds to be used as well. Possibly wonder if the new setting he made could be used doubled sided to hold a diamond on each side? That would be really pretty as well and a way to use all the diamonds and have the new design sparkle from every angle when in movement. Just a few thoughts I had for my own old tennis bracelet as I love this as well but I also don't wear bracelets nearly as much as I do necklaces. Keep me updated if you happen do redesign yours!
This is gorgeous. The time and patience, what a skill to have. And the cleaning and polishing?! This is an art I never knew. I'm going to have to watch more of your videos!!
That is a lovely design. I have a tennis bracelet, but fortunate in that it’s got a little bit of a different design and isn’t just like everyone else’s. This is beautifully delicate
I use to do jewelry work try to wear gloves when polishing work distance skin contact Great job luv your work hope you get alot of clients Best wishes to your family TOO
Your videos on diamonds and moissanite brought me to your account. However, I’m hooked on all of your other content. Love watching your videos. So witty and talented!
I saw that, and I'd personally offer Him a manicure with short fingernails.... But I was absolutely captivated by His artistry..... Thank you so much, it turned out nicely, very modern & BEAUTIFUL !!!
@@MegaTinni well that is typically what they do if there are 2 or 3 extra, the question wasn't referring to this particular piece, it was a general question. A few tiny loose diamonds have very little value, unless they are something nice like vvs1 d through f color
Small stones aren't worth a lot you just pay a lot for them in jewelery because you get duped. Depends on how much gold is left over. Under a certain amount I keep it over that amount I send it back but that's in the contract you make with your smith, each one is probably different.
I love your videos with the soothing voice and music and the interesting slow process of creating/ fixing/ changing jewelry. It calms my nerves and helps with my depression. One thing bothers me tho: how did you go from wax links to gold links? Or is it a secret?
Very beautiful. I just wonder why you did use an oval shape for hooking up the lobsterclasp and not one of the shapes of the bracelet itself, so it looks like that only the lobsterclasp is different and all the rest is the same shape. Just wondering....
Normally it would freak me out removing a diamond like that. But then I remember that’s how I take them out of a DBY (diamonds by the yard) setting. Lol 😂
The way he saws with his fingers RIGHT THERE gives me horrible flashbacks to high school metal fab where those tiny saw blades would break and get stuck in kids fingers
