Wedding Band Transformation: Crafting New Memories from a Father's Heirloom Ring

Ойын-сауық

Join me, Zach Emigh, as we embark on a poignant journey of transformation. In this video, we honor the memory of a cherished father by redesigning his original wedding band into a new symbol of love and legacy for his son's upcoming wedding. Witness the delicate process of giving an heirloom a second life, marrying old memories with a new future.
Each tap of the hammer and careful placement of gold weaves a story of remembrance and hope. This is more than just a makeover; it's a touching tribute to a loved one lost, a story told through the art of jewelry design.

    Beautiful job! I had my late father’s gold wedding band melted down, and reused by making a gold sun, a moon and stars, soldered onto a wide sterling band, in memory of a shared love for astronomy. ❤

    I almost kind of liked the "bump out" look of the rose gold before it was grinded down and polished, but I imagine that affects the wearability of the piece as well 🤔 I respect a man who's not afraid to rock rose gold. The finished piece is truly unique - a wearable family story!

    What a honour to have your skills used on such a special ring. For redesigning rings into more modern pieces , do you melt the original gold for the new piece or “trade” the old gold for new? Also do you make the new gold ring or give your design to another jeweller to make and then you add the stones? I love how you can take 2 stones and create a ring that looks balanced, when we naturally like a group of 3, 5, 6 etc. looking forward to learning more and seeing your artistic and technical skills showcased.

    Question on the milgrained edge. Could you have used the down sizing tool to compress the edge in before you hammered it? Or cut it off before starting the process? Or does the milgrain tool compress the edge too much to compress in?

    I left it on for the hammering so that when the hammering was complete, I could cut it away to reveal a flat side of the ring. If I cut it off before hammering, the edges would look warped from the hammering. Hope this makes since.
