Using tape is a fantastic idea! I usually use a clear matte spray, which works well for engraving, but for things like this it will save a lot of time!
oh man, it's so cool that you posted this! when i was first learning to make signet rings, there were so few videos on youtube that showed you how to make them by hand - most go via the cad or wax carving route, so this is going to be so useful for lots of people :D making a signet entirely by hand is SO satisfying and fun, and it's a super useful exercise as it teaches you how to plan ahead with the measurements, while still giving you creative freedom and room to make some changes in the process, and trains your eye for achieving symmetry. everybody should try making a signet by hand at least once - every single time i've seen people do it, they're absolutely stoked about the process and the result :D thank you for sharing this!
Very nicely done. I haven't made one yet but you've inspired me to put one on my "make this" bucket list. Keep up the great work and the wonderful video work too! Great music too.
Always dig your videos 🔥💀🔥 Would love to see one where you set a gemstone intaglio in the top. Can’t find a video to learn how to make a real traditional gemstone signet
Hi jaco I’m an apprentice jeweller from Australia I just found your channel your amazing, I’m not in the best situation jewellery wise as there isn’t anyone teaching me at the moment all our jewellers left so I’ve been teaching myself for about a year do you have any ideas on what I can do to up my hand make school(other than watch your channel haha)
Hey Griffin and welcome - RUclips is an excellent teacher and I’d suggest following as many of us as possible. ‘DON’T PANIC’ as this episode suggests. I’m self taught all the way and it can be done. Good to have you onboard 💪🏻
Great video and treasure man thank you so much 🤘 As someone else mentioned it is hard to find any how to videos on top notch signets. I am about to start using your video to make a US size 6 and another one size 8. I believe the 6 is very close to the size you made? Do you have any exact measurements for length to cut to before bending the bar into a ring shape for either size 6 or 8? I saw the equation you put on the screen but I’m a little slow 🤤Thanks OG!
Apologies for the weird ending to this week’s video! Little error with the upload, hey ho! We learn. 🙏
Couldn’t have said it better. Go into a dream world lose all track of time

Glad you liked the idea. I keep trying new methods and it’s great to hear about the spray option too.
Another great video! Thanks to you both!

..and so much fun shaping something with a hammer 😁
Thanks for the comment Alisa and as always, such a pleasure

👍
This is the best signet ring tutorial on RUclips! Thanks you!
This makes me so happy! To know that it is helping. Thanks for your feedback!
Hi hi Jaco , I appreciate your videos enjoy all of them myself as a goldsmith since 1993 you give me something to learn , cheers
Harout! Thanks for that. OG like me - I’m with you on the learning side. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
can't thank you enough keep on making these tutorials these are really helpful
So happy to hear that you are taking something from it all
Thanks!
Ah, thank you! For the super thanks 🌟 Goad you enjoyed the video
Can you do the hammering of the ring to the 5:30 to 6:50 on silver as well, or just gold because its more soft then silver.
Absolutely. In fact silver is softer than gold and definitely platinum so it’ll form so much easier 👌🏻
Very nicely done. I haven't made one yet but you've inspired me to put one on my "make this" bucket list. Keep up the great work and the wonderful video work too! Great music too.
What kind of clamp is that you are using? You can file 360° without having to move the piece. Genius!

Signet ring round silver
Why do you pick to use 18k HARD solder instead of easy or med?

Awesome vid
Thank you Kevin 🙏
what is the weight of this signet ring? and what size? Great movie, great job.
@@michabylina1119 I can’t recall those details. I should make notes because I often get these kind of questions that are linked to the videos.
@jacothejeweller i see 😉🙌
If you don’t become that ring I don’t feel it’s possible any other way lol
That's it
Been bugging me why gold purity is measured in karats... now i'm going to queue an explanation video because it's going to bug me.
On the list 👍🏻 There are sooo many unanswered questions Charl and I’ll definitely have a look at this 🙏🏻
