- Per the clients request, I took the diamond out of one ring and reset it in a vintage ring mounting. The vintage ring also needed new tips and a new shank.

Video Description: A client wanted to use the diamond from one ring and transfer it to another. I first cut away the prongs from the first ring to free the stone. I then recut the seats in the vintage ring and set the diamond in. After the diamond was set in place, I retipped the 4 center prongs with the diamond in place. After the tips were added I filed them down to match. The vintage ring also needed some work done on the shank as it was incredibly thin and needed to be build up. I cut off the old shank and melted it down with some fresh yellow gold grain. I then poured the melt into an ingot mold and ran the ingot through the rolling mill. After I achieved the correct size for the new shank, I bent the gold into shape and soldered the new shank on the ring. After the new shank was added to the vintage engagement ring, I filed and blended the gold.

I have to constantly remind myself while watching these that diamonds are extremely durable
it’s funny bc you’re like oh be careful with the diamond but then it’s like actually they’re so resilient
the ultimate “trust the process”
That second ring looks so like my engagement ring! It was my husband’s grandmothers circa 1945 and I’ve have the band repaired a few times so the original engraving isn’t complete anymore unfortunately. My jeweler told me I’d need to have the setting “built up” or the stones reset at some point because it’s getting worn down. The process was so cool to watch- thank you!
Watching such skill just makes me smile. I know absolutely nothing about repairing jewelry, but even my untrained eyes could see that this was a master at work.
Today I searched Google for jewellery repairers in my area and this evening your video popped up 🧐 🤔 Your work is fascinating! New subscriber here :)
Me who knows nothing about jewelry: stop dude don't do that ,you're gonna ruin it .
The new setting is much prettier and makes center stone look even bigger than old one.
Who's stalking your RUclips channel waiting for more content....not me!😅🤣
Wow! Did a lot more than just move a diamond!!!
Great video, great piece, great music, great content, great everything.
So clever. Alchemy, Craft and design.. all rolled into one..Wonderful how a true Jeweller, can bring new life back to our old jewellery. We don't have to miss out on how sentimental it is to us , then.
Such a big investment in his workshops tools and equipment
I really like it when you explain the process. Otherwise it is just a music video.
Was a nice video to see. Many vids out there of glorious engagement rings being made, but this is the type of stuff jewelers do more of. I also like to leave prongs beefier like that. Time goes by fast and people do not come in for ring repairs often enough. Having more meat around the diamond ensures the customer can beat it up for longer.
Wonderful video - as always.
It appears that the stone is happy to its new home. I've done the same to a stud earrings before.
Gorgeous outcome
This is ART...
Mate that was insane! Nice work 👏🏻👏🏻
