How to Cast a Ring Out of Silver, Copper, or Gold!
In this video I show the process of casting a ring. I use 999 fine silver in the video, but you can cast a ring out of copper, gold , brass, or any other material using the same process. I use delft clay to cast the ring and I melt down the silver in an Electric Furnace. If you are wanting to learn casting a ring from start to finish then this is the video for you! Casting a ring at home is easier than you think if you follow the steps correctly. I am getting better at casting and I think that I will try other materials in the future. Casting a ring in gold or casting a copper ring will require more heat. If you are casting a wedding ring then you will need to take more time on the mold to get it correct. I hope that in this video of me casting a silver ring I can help teach you the ways! Here are links to some of the items that I use in the video:

It don't work like that. You'll probably end the body of your spirit if you use your creators children for harm
I found this video much more interesting than just plain silver stacking. I believe your problem was you didn't have the ring level in the clay when you pushed it down in there. Also you poured a whole lot more silver than you needed to. Last, you need your clay packed even tighter than you had it. Think about using a smaller/thinner drill bit and I'd bet money it comes out way better. I'm glad to see you branching out into another hobby or for a small business money making idea.

Sand casting is not for jewelry. It is for machine parts in heavy industries. Better use silicone for high temperatures.
If you do two channels one to poor in and one for the silver to over flow you would get the whole ring perfect with less clean up

That’s really cool man. I’d probably go with sterling just to make it a bit more durable for daily wear, but that’s just my choice. Others may want the 999

Budget Bullion Stacker yes sterling is pretty much the standard for silver jewelry. I work with 999 much more than the normal person so that’s why I cast this one that way. it’s not super practical because it will get beat up but that’s why I didn’t spend to much time getting it perfect 🤷🏽♂️🔥🐉
Looks great
I should’ve know and happy to see S.D. when I looked up how to make a silver ring! 😁😜
was helpful. i was trying to find something like this, im about to cast a few redgold and silver rigns myself for the first time. and wanted to figure out what kind of sand etc youre using and the mold ring itself off to shopping i go for the mold!

I know nothing about silver pouring, but as usual I won't let that prevent me to throw in my two cents; maybe a small breather vent on the opposite side of where the molten metal comes in might be a good idea? That would give the gasses and whatnots a place to escape when pouring. As always, thanks for your effort and videos, much appreciated.

Roskis Posti yes I do that sometimes for sure and it does help! I didn’t spend a ton of time on this mold but it ended up being alright anyways 🔥🐉
reason you keep getting pits and missing part on edges is 2 reasons 1 you do need to pack the clay alot more than what you are showing . 2 you need to add a air release hole on the back side basically what you did on the front but smaller . may want a catch pan under it
Well done laddie. Great job. Nice bit on what is needed son. I use a small drinking straw to make my vent holes. Just twist them in and then tap them to clean them out. Works great. Nic step by step here this day my dear friend.

great job my friend !! .. make sure you use a little air to blow out the loose sand ( clay ) from the pouring hole !!!.. you dont want to take in any of the sand in to the pour when you silver goes in !! that leaves you with an imperfect pour and little areas that are missing silver .. other than that great job !!!

Dude I had to go run and look to make sure if the very first ring I cast was still in my silver collection (just kidding or am I?) because yours look just like the one I made so wow to you man!. I really do want cast my very 1st gold ring and preferably from some old worn gold coin but scrap may be cheaper any suggestions I have melted lots of cool stuff but never made me a MAN gold ring.

Nice work and great video, the only thing I would say is get a steel ring mandrel at Harbor Freight if you don’t already have one, they are cheaper than jewelers saws and will likely last a lot longer!

Casting a ring in a sand mold is not a good idea. Better result with fine details is achieved with silicone for high temperatures.

What is it with the finger signs. East side/west side. Otherwise ok video just annoying waving your hands all the time.

Nope, the cringe hand gestures alone were enough to drive me away.
You should of made the channel before packing the top then removed the ring
Get a manicure, dude.
