How To Make A 3 Stone Ring. (Quickest and easiest way!)
Check out the new Diamond Mounter merch!
cbilton.creator-spring.com In this video I give full instructions explaining how to make a 3 stone ring.
There are many ways to make a 3 stone design but I wanted to find a way to create one in as simple way as possible.
With minimalism in mind, I designed and created this ring. It has only 3 parts and 6 claws to make and assemble which means it can be finished quickly and accurately with more ease.
The video documents the entire process from start to finish!
With this channel I share with you some of the methods and techniques I have learned over the previous 23 years as a professional Jeweller. I specialise in high end bespoke pieces made the old fashioned way by hand.
I wish to document everything I know and make accessible to everyone rare skills and techniques only usually taught in high security jewellers workshops.
Please hit like and subscribe to be notified of future uploads!
The channel has potential to grow in to a great archive of jewellers knowledge with your help.
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With over 2 decades of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops.
I have been lucky enough to have been taught by actual Bond Street shop model makers and my ambition is to share what I have learned through out my career to as many people as possible.
My vehicle to do this is the Diamond Mounter KZread channel and now after nearly 1 year of uploading video guides, its time to take it up a level.
My ambition is to be able to make instructional videos with not just silver, but gold and platinum also. Some proper jewellers soldering equipment will enable me to create much more special pieces too! This will open up a whole new world of information I have to share.
There are many specific methods and techniques used for the different precious metals and knowledge about gemstones I can teach that will never enter my videos unless I am actually working with them.

I got a lot of tips from this thanks bro
This video matches perfectly to where I am on my silversmithing journey (I’ve a mostly self-taught novice) it fills the gap out there where most videos are either very basic and nothing goes wrong, or quite professional and nothing goes wrong. I’ve learnt the most from the “mistakes” and hearing Chris describe how he plans to fix them and how these fixes can also evolve into something different has taught me heaps and given me more confidence to attempt things I may not have tried to make before. Plus lots of really useful tips thru out (angle the claws to the middle of the ring, complete the inner side of the ring shank before modifying the other shape, inset the claws where vulnerable……etc) Thank you

i set my first tube setting this morning and attemted this in the afternoon with the wrong dimensions of metal. Its a mess, needed thicker plate.saying that I've learnt a load of things I'm sure Iv'e spent tens of hours watching your videos. I'm gonna leave it and have a look another day, it might turn out with a few more claws. thanks for the content and ill make along with some more projects, maybe something more simple.

Awesome tutorial! Love your method.
Thaaaaaannnks! I’ve learned so much with this video! I’ve been looking for a instructional video for making the shank shoulders and the sit for the stones and this video answered lot of my dudes! Thank you again.
is my eyesight not good i thought i saw centre stone slight pink and the side stone blueish tint? I love your style of teaching, simply brilliant, where do you get those rubber sanding disks please i can not find them?
just watched your video, it was very informative! If possible I would love to know how to actually cut the setting into the prongs and place the stones.
Pls make a.ring with ovel shaped stone. I will be so greatfull.

Sure! Yes oval stones set rings are difficult to finish well. Especially placing claws symmetrically around them.
Wow, i got a whole bunch of grest tips and advice from this extra long one.. Havnt attemptrdmy 1st 3 stone yet, but im confident im up to the job now.. Thanks for all the help Chris! 👍🏼

Amazing!! Just curious what is holding the small round brilliants on the other side, which buts up against the centre stone. Is the one claw enough to hold them?
Is there a vid where you set the stones in this ring?
സംഭവിക്കുന്നതെല്ലാം നല്ലതിന് 😊
27:30 when I'm marking distance from a gap like that I just sand all touching surfaces and rub the part I'm fitting into the gap and it marks it for me. I do it for size ups daily.

Can you make the rings without the diamonds in them With all the measurements already?
Muchas gracias por compartir la bendición del Padre del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo estén en tu vida y todos los tuyos gracias buen día bendiciones como se hace soldadura para platino gracias 😅😅😅😊😊😊
Great tutorials! Very interesting. I'm wondering if there is a video anywhere where you show how you secure / set the stones. Because apparently you would use 1 claw to set both stones. Interested in how that works 😁 keep up the nice work. Thx

Yes the stones are set in to the same claw!. In the video I explain the claws must be heavy gauge. It works because the side stone cut out is lower than the central stone cut out. Im planning to do another 3 stone tutorial soon!

I am ready to set my stones.. I am wondering do I set the big stone 1st, then notch and set the smaller stones?
Sorry for asking witch size Stones did you use? Center + Side Stones I am trying to build a custam Ring for my love one. Dont know much of Ring.
What’s the name of the Electric thing u used at time 4.29?
I have a question that could apply to many of your project videos - what would be an expected time interval for doing this project from start to finish, if you just sat down and did the work without filming, or narration, just full speed ahead working? And how long would it take on a "bad day" where things go wrong that have to be corrected? I know projects take how long they take, and every design is different, but I am curious about the tempo of the work, and the labor involved, and what "the boss" would expect for a beginner, vs a seasoned pro....?

Something like that 3 stone I would like to have 3 days to start and finish it. Its possible in 2 but its nice to have extra time for milling out metal and pulling down wire etc without feeling too much pressure for time
I am trying it out.. Ready to set my gemstones.. Chris, I am wondering... do I set the big stone 1st, then notch and set the smaller stones? My guess is that I shouldn't do the small stones 1st since u gotta slightly move the shared prongs to set the big stone.. Thank you for any help!

I don't know what you were doing. If you were making a master for casting, just buy a ring, there are millions of those. If it is fabrication, I find your method time consuming and difficult and therefore incorrect. I don't think anyone does it like this professionally. I can do it much quicker, with less ado, less sawing and everything will fit just fine. Please look around and find a better way of working.

@@DiamondMounter I'm not sure what exactly Dordi meant but as I see you are relying very heavily on filing and removing material and you are avoiding metal forming techniques almost completely. Generally speaking metal forming gives you more precise results, takes less time and creates less waste. Less waste is a big factor for most of us simply because it's not maintainable to file away 2g of metal just to make a 4g shank, especially for those working with gold or pgms. I understand it's not that big of a factor for you but precision is. And that is also faster and easier to achieve with metal forming. Think about it: would you rather spend your time filing a perfectly circular, true to size hole, instead of just grabbing your ring mandrel? Sound like a wrong idea, isn't it? I'm not saying that it is exactly what you are doing here with that collet cluster but it's a close analogy.
