Thank you so much Valerie! I like to show that even after years in this world, we all still make mistakes and have to troubleshoot from time to time. I have lots of experience with learning on the fly, so why not share it?! Thank you for watching my video, I am so appreciative 😃

Thank you for being humble enough to show your mishaps. Many people show perfection, which can be discouraging for a newbie. Beautiful setting looking forward to watching the next video.

Thank you so much Rene! I’ve been doing this a long time but I can’t ever finish a project without having a stumble - I think it happens so we can learn something new 😊

Thanks for this! And a huge thank you for showing ALL the steps including mistakes. I feel crazy sometimes when I bump my own work, thinking no one else I see does this, what's wrong with me! It's also good for me to see you re-making the setting because of the mistake, and testing, taking apart, and testing again because it reminds me to take it slow.

Yay! I decided to show it all because I thought it would be helpful for others to see that even after 17 years of doing this, I still make mistakes. It usually comes from rushing or trying to do too many things at one time. I’ve learned when I focus and take my time, I have less of these frustrating moments. But, like anyone else, I still have days where I’m too caught up in my brain and forget to slow down 😁

Very informative. I am glad you kept the accident in the video. It lets us know that the pros mess up also.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. My question is: do you use hard soldering on both jumprings?

@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! Yes, I try to use hard solder as much as possible. I will solder parts separately then use medium to do the final soldering. Last resort, easy solder.

Great work! could you please tell me where did you purchase your third hand? Thank you

@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lina! I use the Benchmate soldering station from GRS. It comes with 2 third hands. It’s a little pricey, but is far superior than purchasing the third hands individually with the weighted bases. I bought mine from riogrande.com.

Love this setting. I heard 1.6 for your rings. Is that 14 gauge? Ty!

Omg... because it was budget friendly, the first time I tried doing this I used copper wire and it was a disaster! LOL! I'm going to try again though with silver. Btw, did you make the pretty ring you're wearing? Thanks for sharing!

@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith

Copper is great to practice with for lots of things except stone setting. I recommend using brass instead. It’s a harder metal and behaves a little more like gold and silver.

Great video. I might’ve missed it but did you use hard or medium solder on the second ring?

@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! 😄 I use hard solder wherever I can! But if you’re worried you may overheat and “unsolder’ the first join, you can move to the medium on the second ring.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful. I have a question with the ring formula, is it in millimeters? for this example it should be (1.6x2) - 8? English isn't my first language so I think maybe I'm getting lost in translation haha

@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith

Жыл бұрын

Yes, it is in millimeters.

@suziplease

Жыл бұрын

So, how exactly did you get that measurement? The formula gives a measurement of 4.8mm but you said you wanted 5 or 5.5mm for the inside diameter. Is the formula just to give you a very loose idea of the size? I’ve seen a few other jeweler’s videos where they seem to use a formula exactly, but I’ve never had success that way. The formulas alway seem to make too small of a bezel or a basket.

Julessa, may I ask what pliers those are? they look like Lindstroms, just not sure which model.

Yes, they are Lindstrom pliers, but they are about 18 yrs old so they don’t look like the newer ones 😄
