    The tiny saw hitting his nail when he was cutting through the links was killing me :D But at least it was his nail and not his skin!

      Same and then the shot where he was making the O rings and the split in his nail was splintering D:

  • @lifeislong2154

    you should do the before and after look at the end of the video. It will look even cooler as it gives a reminder of how the jewellery was before the fixing/changing.

    • @helenhill9482
      @helenhill9482 3 года назад +32

      I also preferred the original. Also, the customer now has far fewer diamonds and less gold than she had before! I find some of the workmanship to be sloppy too. The solder joints on the jump rings (what he calls O rings) were not tight joints as they should be. He was filling gaps left by using cutters that were not flush cutters - frowned upon in the world of goldsmithing.

    • @illbeyourstumbleine
      @illbeyourstumbleine 3 года назад +1

      I was just thinking how pretty it would be if made thinner/more dainty and turn it from a bracelet into a necklace. Same look just less bulk that would allow it to be longer and maybe also more of the diamonds to be used as well. Possibly wonder if the new setting he made could be used doubled sided to hold a diamond on each side? That would be really pretty as well and a way to use all the diamonds and have the new design sparkle from every angle when in movement.
      Just a few thoughts I had for my own old tennis bracelet as I love this as well but I also don't wear bracelets nearly as much as I do necklaces. Keep me updated if you happen do redesign yours!

    • @saskibla

      I think everything that depends on the customer. I presume that any leftover materials are either sent back to the customer if preffered or are discounted from the price and will be used in his later projects.

      @RedRedux 3 года назад +2

      Small stones aren't worth a lot you just pay a lot for them in jewelery because you get duped. Depends on how much gold is left over. Under a certain amount I keep it over that amount I send it back but that's in the contract you make with your smith, each one is probably different.
