Most people buy their wedding bands from a jewelry store in the mall or from some online retailer. This video isn't for most people.
If you're looking to make a classy, meaningful ring out of 14K gold while playing with fire, this video is for you.
Most people are afraid to work with gold. I get it. It's expensive, and we are afraid of breaking it. Spoiler alert. Gold isn't hard to work with if you know the right techniques.
I've spent hundreds of hours refining my technique to help you make a quality wedding band using simple tools. I take you from complete novice through setting up the tools, preparing the metal, soldering, then finishing your ring to a high polish or whatever finish you prefer.
Check out the links below for my Wedding Band Workshop Kit that includes 14k Fairmined Gold and all the tools you need to complete your wedding band.
Fairmined gold is my favorite gold to work with because it supports small scale mining communities worldwide, creating a positive impact on the people and the environment. I use Fairmined gold in all of my jewelry because it is #goldtobeproudof.
Here's a list of tools you need to make your own wedding band: docs.google.co...

Is it ok to wear a 14 ct gold ring every day and only removing it when we do housework or other activities that might scratch it? Or it will get scratched anyway? Thank you! Video was nice to watch!

You can wear it around the house, just don't wear it while cleaning with bleach or chlorine. Chlorine will damage gold.

Hi sir and thank you for your nice tutorial. I wss wondering if you could tell me how to size a ring with 4mm thickness? I don't know the formula
@JewelryUcreate
@JewelryUcreate 2 месяца назад
4mm thickness is pretty thick. It's going to be hard to bend and make perfectly round, especially if it's gold. I would aim to make between 1.5 and 2mm thickness using this method. Anything thicker than that I would carve in wax. This website has a helpful calculator though for figuring out ring blank lengths: mordent.com/old/ringsize.html

Any more of these kits for sale? Where do you get the 14k gold flat wire?
@JewelryUcreate
@JewelryUcreate 11 месяцев назад
I can sell you a kit if you're still interested. You can try to buy the wire from Rio Grande, but you may need a business account. I can send you some from my supplier though if need. Just head to my website and send me a message on there.

amature. ever heard of a ring clamp, or a optivisor? dip the stock in powered boric acid and methanol alcohol to prevent fire scale. light up the alcohol and while the ring is hot dip the solder piece in the flux and place on the joint. the solder will stay in place or stick the solder in the pinch point and then flux. hold the stock with tweezers or in a third hand. the charcoal block is a heat sink and absorbs too much heat. solder comes in different melting temperatures, extra easy, easy, medium and hard. round up with a rawhide mallet (won't mark the work), and file the inside with a full size half round file. file the out side with a full size barrot file. the needle files shown are for fine work, like filing around stones and bezels. emery after filing. try using 3M micro finish paper for an extra fine finish. wear a filtering mask when polishing. polishing compounds a a health hazard when inhaled. sparex will rust tools badly and always wear safety glasses especially when soldering and polishing. oh, I only worked as a professional goldsmith and diamond setter for 40 years so I may not know what i'm talking about!!

Thanks for being my first RU-vid troll! Yes, I know about ring clamps and optivisors. The point of this video is to show only the basic tools needed to make it accessible for more people. Congrats on your 40 years at the bench. Let’s help others get some time at the bench too by making goldsmithing more accessible
