Though I would never silversmith, I am fascinated at the art. The whole process is mesmerizing and the product itself is therefore worth more than 100$. I can't believe people sell for 20 and 30$ sometimes. I'm happy I watched this video. And the ring is beautiful.
Thank you for making this beginner video. The ring is lovely. I've always wanted to make silver and turquoise jewelry. My husband has bought me a beautiful collection, over the years. I love it!! Now that I'm a grandparent, I figured it's now or never, so I subbed you! Looking forward to learning your techniques! 🤗
I have watched this over and over it is by far my favorite turquoise ring video, you do a fine job of teaching us how and what to do. Your voice is so calming that I don't get flustered when working on a project, thank you so very much!
I love your ring. It is so nice when other jewelry makers show all the steps. When I was in college, we were taught the exact same steps. Thank you, I enjoyed the lesson!
Excellent video! When I started looking for a silver smith in my area, I was having no luck. So I thought I'd look it up!! Glad I did. Your video makes me think I might actually be able to do it. Thanks!
I've only ever bought the finished product, so I'd never seen the process until I blundered across your video -- absolutely AWESOME!!! I'm not going to attempt silversmithing at my age, but I've acquired an incredible appreciation for your skills! And from now on, I'll be able to comprehend what I'm seeing when I examine the finished ring. Thank you so much! 😺💕🐾
Beautiful! You make it look so easy, however I am sure it isn’t that easy. I love making jewelry but have not learned how to do soldering and this just makes me want to learn how to even more. Thanks for such a great video.
This is such a fantastic video! I really appreciate you linking all your tools as well. It’s been incredibly helpful for me as I start my metalsmithing journey :) I do have a question though. I was wondering what you used to cut the 6 GA wire for the ring band? I love those thicker ring bands as well and I definitely want to incorporate them into my pieces. I just bought a bunch of 6 GA copper wire to practice with, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to cut it 😅 thanks so much for your help!
omg! so beautiful! I can only DREAM that one day I will be skilled enough and able to produce something as breathtakingly amazing as that gorgeous ring you've just revealed on this video! BRAVO m'dear!! Keep up the fantastic work!! :)
Thank you so much for sharing your process! I am new to metalsmithing & your videos have been a lifesaver! I really appreciate how detailed and thorough you are. 😊
Thank you very much for made this video. It was very helpful and give me a lot of ideas and at the same time and told me step by step. What should I buy first? Thank you very much.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am wondering how you cut your 6g wire. and how to measure so you can have the gap and the correct size ring. I just ordered a bunch of stuff to get started and am wanting to make sure I have the right things! it's hard to find info on making ring shanks so thank you for this.
I really enjoyed the tutoral and like the way you added your maker's mark. I always find if I add it to the bottom of the base plate, no matter how well I think I planned it out, it gets covered by the shank! Your ring turned out gorgeous. I would be very interested to know what brand of Engraver's block you used and where did you purchase it?
Thank you so much! I got my engravers black off of Etsy, I can't remember the name of the store😫. It is a knock off and I believed I only paid around $150 for it but it does the job! I would definitely check them out there!
Thank you for this tutorial. I was trying to find a method of cleaning up the silver using non toxic stuff. I’m not a fan of the pickeling solution. I know it’s faster but I don’t feel safe using it. Especially if I plan to do this often.
This is my fave video so far! You’re a great teacher. Can I ask… do you pickle your silver as you go like after every application of heat/solder joint? For example is it necessary to pickle after each step? Also how long on average do you leave the pieces in the pickle? Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! And yes, what I like to do is first quench the piece in a bowl of water after each soldering operation or let it slowly cool down on it's own. Then I will throw it in the pickle pot! I usually leave my pieces in the pickle pot until they are a nice clean, white color all over :)
Wooow AMAZING LIKE ALWAYS 👏🏼😍 But I have 2 questions 😅 1- Why why do you use 6 wheels to polish the ring? What are the differences between one and the other? 2- Why antioxidant should be put on all silver before polishing? Thanks a lot in advance 🙏🏽💙I have so many questions to ask 😅
Thank you!!!😃 And each wheel is a different grit so I like to go through every grit in order (lowest number first) to obtain a high shine! And I like to add the oxidize the silver once I have all my marks in the silver and any excess solder removed. The blue wheel I found is best to remove the patina because it isn’t too coarse so it won’t take off too much!
You did great Leanne…. And your you tube has really grown. You probably don’t recognize my username on RUclips but this is AUMi Jewels…. I’m still teach my silversmith classes, but I’m also starting RUclips channel on MetalClay silver… you know I feel so bad because I judge people with metal clay silver jewelry I thought oh there are just cheating. But let me tell you it’s a lot of work. Cool Tools has sponsored me and I really now appreciate those Metal Clay designers. It’s a lot more tedious work. But being a Silversmith designer myself and you know this just as well as me that the back has to look just as pretty as the front… I already started a different Instagram page that’s only dedicated to Metal Clay Silver work. And I’ve got to work on my Silver Smith Instagram page I am so behind. You know one of the things that I like with you teaching on RUclips is your voice is very soothing and I agree with you 100% Silversmithing and Metal Clay Silver is very therapeutic for me as well.. well you keep doing an awesome job I am so proud of you…🔥🔥🔥🤗👏👏👏👏👏
So nice to meet you! And that’s so cool! Metal clay has been on my list of things to learn!😃 I’ll defs check out your RUclips channel on that! And thank you so much for your kind words and support!❤️🙏🏻
@@SpiritMountainSilver Good work deserves a lot of good praise and I think your RUclips channel is fabulous… i’m real close to getting my RUclips channel go in for Metal Clay I’ll let you know hey I’ll send you a DM on Instagram…
Hi there! Your video is so so helpful for me as a beginner. One thing you didn’t mention that I’m still iffy about is - for the metal sheet, bezel, ring band and beaded wire bezel…are those half hard or dead soft?
I love love this video! I agree with everyone else - best beginner video out there! Quick question: when you are filing down the ends of the ring band so they're flat (around the 8:30 mark), what grit sandpaper are you using? Thank you so much! Subscribed!
I love your tutorials!! So thorough .. could you please tell me where you purchase your beaded wire and embellishments from? I’m just beginning and having a hard time finding supplies …
I bought my beaded wire from monsterslayer.com and I made the ball and star embellishments myself! I actually have another video explaining how to make them using the tucker tool shot plate!😃
Love this video! Do you use any polishing compounds or Tumblr? I've been metalsmithing for a year and am still confused on all the different ways to finish a piece!! lol Thanks in Advance!
Hi Carly! I do! I actually just posted another video where I go a bit more in depth with my polishing process and I show the wheels I use along with my favorite polishing compound and tumbler. I hope you find it helpful! Here is the link to it: ruclips.net/video/QZDan379GSI/видео.html
I can’t even tell you how helpful your videos have been hun they really have. Can I ask what made you by a Dremel over the foreden SR polishing motor because everyone is telling me to get the Fordem but it’s so much more expensive and you seem to really love your Dremel, can I ask what model you have and do all the accessories come with it? Do you have a video where you say which ones you have? I’m so lost with this issue and would really appreciate some help 🙏 oh I’m a new sub btw hi 👋 I’m Emy ❤
I haven't worked on metalsmithing in years. I forgot how to do everything. I still have my tools and want to get back into it. What is in the spray bottle again? Spray flux? I don't remember that they had this type of flux. I think mine was like a paste. This video was great. You do such beautiful work and make it look so easy. I remember melting bezels before. Lol
Awesome work !!! and the instructions very clear I just want to know when I use H,M,S solder because you used all of them and is it OK if I use one type only?
Wow, wonderful! thank you so much. Just starting out, have made several rings in classes. Trying to do this at home. Excellent explanations. What size blade do you use for the 22 g backplate, and the 6 g band?
You are so welcome! And I actually have another video fully dedicated to using a jewelers saw and the correct saw blades depending on gauge. Feel free to check it out here! It should answer all your questions! ruclips.net/video/papzumc6Lzg/видео.html
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. The shots are so nice, and your voice and calming and easy to follow, thank you!! May I ask, how do you know when to use soft solder versus medium and hard?
Hi there! Thank you so much for all of your kind words! I actually answered this question a few times in this comment's section. A lot of people seemed to be curious about this. It's a pretty long winded answer but basically each solder has a different melting point (hard having the highest melting point and easy having the lowest). So rule of thumb is to start with hard then work your way down. I am going to try and make a video about the different types of solder and when to use them, so stay tuned!😊
Such a lovely video! I am starting out and your videos have been so so helpful! Where do you get your decorative wire from and what size do you recommend or what did you use for this ring? Thanks! 🤗
I love your teaching method, so clear and nice, I have been looking for something like this for long.🥰 I have a hand dremmel tool, can the disc you use in your rotary tool be use also in other type of dremels ?? And where can I buy them ?
Aww thank you so much!!❤️ And I use various different discs to polish pieces! All the links are under the the Polishing section in the description of the video!☺️ Let me know if you have any other questions!
This is a great video! You are so good at the work. I am just getting into soldering and gathering materials. Do you use Cutting Lube on your saw? If so,what kind is the best. Also, where do you purchase your silver?
I do use a cutting lube! Check out my other video on how to use a jewelers saw! I talk about different types you can use with your saw. :) I get all my silver from Monsterslayer.com
Love the video and the ring of course! Just two questions about the backplate: Where do you buy affordable material for it? Is it safe to use an other material? Thank you so much! :))
Thank you! I haven’t worked with mixed metals. I primarily stick to sterling silver which unfortunately can be pricey. However monsterslayer.com and riogrande.com are great places to buy your silver!
Love your video! I’m encouraged to get started and learn. What is the width of the 26ga bezel you’re using? Sorry if you covered this somewhere, but couldn’t find it myself. Thanks!
Hi there great video beautiful ring… I have a question where do you get your embellishments. I can make the balls I guess but others like yours? Thanks again.
I am a hobbiest stone cutter who is breaking into my own silversmithing. For the ring shank, I love the heft of the 6 gauge half round. Are you using half hard? Many thanks in advance and your videos have been very helpful!
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched so far! Very clear instructions and step by step on materials too 👏🏾 Also love your ring and style! 😍
Oh my goodness! This just made my day!! Thank you so so much!!!🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

I always find if I add it to the bottom of the base plate, no matter how well I think I planned it out, it gets covered by the shank! Your ring turned out gorgeous. I would be very interested to know what brand of Engraver's block you used and where did you purchase it?
Thank you so much! I got my engravers black off of Etsy, I can't remember the name of the store😫. It is a knock off and I believed I only paid around $150 for it but it does the job! I would definitely check them out there!
Thank you so much for teaching me how to make a ring. :)
You’re very welcome!! I’m glad you found this video helpful!😊
Beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much!! :)
Thank you for this tutorial. I was trying to find a method of cleaning up the silver using non toxic stuff. I’m not a fan of the pickeling solution. I know it’s faster but I don’t feel safe using it. Especially if I plan to do this often.
Glad it was helpful!

So glad!! ❤😊
This might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. How long did it take you, from start to finish? Beautiful!
Thank you so much! And on average it takes me a 2-3 hours depending on the piece. However, when I am filming myself it takes 1000x longer 🤣🤣
Wooow AMAZING LIKE ALWAYS 👏🏼😍 But I have 2 questions 😅

Hi there! Your video is so so helpful for me as a beginner. One thing you didn’t mention that I’m still iffy about is - for the metal sheet, bezel, ring band and beaded wire bezel…are those half hard or dead soft?
I like to use dead soft! It’s more pliable and can easily be work hardened 😊
Extremely informative. Thank you!❤

Thank you! I buy all my silver from monsterslayer.com :) I believe the the beaded wire I used for this ring was 12 ga.
I like the way u solder your bezels,them chips drive me crazy
Right! Wire solder all the way!😀
Super interesting! I know it probably depends ring to ring, but on average, how long does it take you to make one?
Thank you!!!☺️ And usually anywhere between 3-8 hours😬😃

It was 1/8 😃
Thank you so much! Spending this winter practicing❤
Second time watching this video because I love it so much. What Guage beaded wire are you using for this ring?

Hi there great video beautiful ring… I have a question where do you get your embellishments. I can make the balls I guess but others like yours?
Thanks again.
I have a full video that goes over how I make the embellishments, here is the link: ruclips.net/video/bd9kE_5mP7A/видео.html
I am a hobbiest stone cutter who is breaking into my own silversmithing. For the ring shank, I love the heft of the 6 gauge half round. Are you using half hard? Many thanks in advance and your videos have been very helpful!
I like to use soft and work harden it myself at the end. Easier to work with for me😊
Amazing work! Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
