    Well, I'm glad you showed this video. I was actually going to try to set a stone into a ring I'm bying from Ebay. Now I realize I don't have the right tools or experience. You just saved me from a disaster. I'll just take it to a professional.

    Nice video and great clarity! I use a Foredom TX300 with a standard handpiece and I do pretty good. I have a question though: Does the quick change hand piece make it much easier to control, since it is thinner than the standard hand piece? It looks like you're able to control it more like you would a pencil so it seems to offer better coordination than my hand piece, which feels more like those fat permanent markers.

    As far as holding the ring when you are shaping and filing, etc, I see people put the ring in what looks like melted resin/pitch, then when it cools they can rotate it accordingly. What is this mysterious resin/pitch that ring makers use? Someone told me mastic, but I can't find it on any jewelry making supply store. I need a good way to hold fragile small pieces to engrave.

    Anyplace that sells professional jeweler's bench supplies should be able to take care of it. Even Amazon, but in that case, you need to be sure that you are dealing with a reputable supplier of good quality supplies and equipment. It's cheaper in the long run to pay for quality up front, rather than spending much more in the long run by replacing cheap, poor quality items more often. Inquire of professional jewelers in your area what sources they use for their bench supplies. There may be a source you can deal with locally and in person that you may not be aware of. Face to face is almost always better than online merchandising. However, having said that, Stuller is one good source, with quality merchandise, an online presence as well as physical catalogs available to professional jewelers, as they are strictly wholesalers, and do not sell to the general public. I happen to know that our local family-owned and operated jewelry store (third generation management, going on four) with in-house goldsmith for repair and creation, watch repair, engraving, etc., uses them for most all their equipment and supplies.

As I was sitting through the ashes I had found my father's Ring. Instead of a nice deep black it is now a dull Gray and also has a chip in it. I imagine it would have to be unset to fix the stone."polishing and or whatever" Can you do it???????
