Resizing a ring with a stone can be intimidating. In this video, Matt shows how to use ring scorch protection to size a ring both up and down. He removes metal from one ring to size down and solders the metal to another to size up. Visit Matt's website: jewelrybymattb.com

Upon graduating high school in Hastings, NE, Matt attended the Texas Institute of Jewelry and Technology in Paris, TX. This is where he received his Goldsmith and Gemologist Degree. After working as an in-house jeweler for over 20 years he decided to start his own business. He is influenced heavily by the music he listens to in his shop, as well as custom ideas from people he meets at art shows. All of Matt’s jewelry is either made through lost wax or lost object casting, with centrifugal caster, or it is hand fabricated. Moving to Indiana in 2013 and becoming a member of Indiana Artisan has expanded his reach into the Hoosier art community. Becoming involved in the Fort Wayne art scene has brought lots of new opportunities and an exciting future with many more years of making beautiful jewelry.

Why do you use the boric acid/alcohol before applying the flux? Does that clean the area, because I noticed you never cleaned anything before soldering.
Hi Lisa, we asked Matt your question and he said: It does clean the silver. I do try to keep solder joints clean from debris. The boric acid & alcohol cleans & prevents fire scale.
Hope this helps!
@@cooltoolsvideos Thanks! That's what I suspected. I have a jar of it on my workbench but never thought about the cleaning aspect of it. I use it to ball wire - swirl wire then heat, blow out flame, then ball - but never thought to use it in this fashion. Good to know.
I didn’t see Matt pickle the rings after he soldered. I always worry that pickling damages gemstones. But whenever we solder silver, it changes color. So... what should I do?
Hi. I usually refrain from using pickle with certain gemstones that are more sensitive like opal or agates. Although this cz would be ok to put in pickle. Hope this helps!
