Silver ring made with fusion in cuttlebone mold

Using a casting mold, made with cuttlefish bone, is an ancient process, you can make crude copies of small objects, nowadays there are technologies that allow much more accurate copies, the advantages of using this technique are: it's cheap, simple to be implemented, immediate, no particular equipment is required.

[@DSMownedU]

Great work! You just taught me a new technique. I've said this before but I've learned a lot from you. I just fabricated a $48,000 platinum engagement ring for a customer. I wasn't doing any custom work at all a year ago, before I found your channel. Thanks so much!

[@albertledesma5173]

Justin Shuman $48,000? As in USD?

[@DSMownedU]

Albert Ledesma Yes $48,000 USD. It had a 1.50ct (D,VVS1) center diamond, two 0.54ct (D,VVS1) diamonds next to the center, and ten 0.06ct (D,VVS1) diamonds going down the sides. I wish there was a way I could post a picture in the comments.

[@scaffoal]

I'm happy, thank you

[@Liastnir]

Wow, that's a neat job to have been able to accomplish!

[@Ilovetheplatypus]

I didn't even know there were still people doing cuttlebone casting. That's awesome.

[@scaffoal]

thanks, I think that being a craftsman, means to know as much as possible and use all the techniques as needed.

[@SculptyWorks]

Good job! I love the simplicity of cuttlebone casting! I use it quite often!

[@scaffoal]

thank you

[@krodkrod8132]

I tried the cuttlefish method and its too much finish work unless you like the pattern it makes. I started using fine perlite powder mixed with fine cement powder. I can make like a thousand molds now for about 50 bucks and they turn out almost perfect. With fine and exact detail.

[@chrisbloodworth72]

I had heard a bout cuttlebone casting but could hardly find anything about it. Nice to see someone doing it. But yeah very low mold impression, still, it's nice to see how and what the outcome is. Thanks!

[@gregorytangalos811]

Absolutely beautiful work. I love both turquois and silver. Thanks for sharing.

[@bettybho2168]

I prefer this technique of jewellery making to newer technologies because the jewellery looks way cooler than mass produced run of the mill stuff everybody else has.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Lovely work, and an interesting mould-making method. I've seen similar methods using sandstone (for broches, etc.) but never cuttlefish 'bones', at least not in real life. Educational, entertaining, and artful. Perfect! =)

Very very nice! The cuttle-cast turned out perfect. Your cuttle bone was dense and smooth. I've never seen any like that.
But how about an alternative to using glue. Over here, jewelers avoid glue if possible. And never admit using it.

That's a lot of work to make a ring and then use a stone which doesn't appear to be real turquoise. I could be wrong. If so, where is the turquoise from? It just doesn't look right to me.

Customers often have gems or stones to which they are romantically linked. My job is to reinforce their wishes. An object is precious based on the value we give it to us.
