Diamond Horseshoe Pendant | Jewellery Making Tutorial | Goldsmith's Workshop Secrets

This week I made a diamond-set horseshoe pendant in 18ct white gold.
This client had had something made previously but they weren't entirely satisfied with it. So, we had the opportunity to create something new for them for what is a very sentimental stone.
Here are some links to videos we refer to at the end that would pair nicely with this one or answer some potential questions this jewellery making tutorial may have sparked in you.

Damn it. I needed to see you solder the claws on. Man that laser welder would be the ticket.

[@jacothejeweller]

Yeah man. A game changer - but practice those solders. You will need them all the way through this ride.

Stunning work as always! I love how you've tapered the back, It makes it look more like a horse shoe on a hoof. Thanks for sharing guys and enjoy the rest of your week.

I’m with you 👍🏻 but the customer wanted this one to be used.

Nice work as usual, Jako. That new laser is getting work!😅

Lots Matt. It’s ridiculous. I needed it years ago

Absolutely Stunning petena.BTW
Is the chain that is attached to the piece is also hadmade?

[@jacothejeweller]

The chain was given by the customer in this case. It looks like it could have been made by hand but not by me unfortunately.

[@rossgebert-goldsmith183]

Would you do an apprenticeship?
