So happy to see you not edit any of your corrections. Most don’t show us the trials and tribulations. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Valerie! I like to show that even after years in this world, we all still make mistakes and have to troubleshoot from time to time. I have lots of experience with learning on the fly, so why not share it?! Thank you for watching my video, I am so appreciative 😃
Thank you for being humble enough to show your mishaps. Many people show perfection, which can be discouraging for a newbie. Beautiful setting looking forward to watching the next video.
Thank you so much Rene! I’ve been doing this a long time but I can’t ever finish a project without having a stumble - I think it happens so we can learn something new 😊
Thanks for this! And a huge thank you for showing ALL the steps including mistakes. I feel crazy sometimes when I bump my own work, thinking no one else I see does this, what's wrong with me! It's also good for me to see you re-making the setting because of the mistake, and testing, taking apart, and testing again because it reminds me to take it slow.
Yay! I decided to show it all because I thought it would be helpful for others to see that even after 17 years of doing this, I still make mistakes. It usually comes from rushing or trying to do too many things at one time. I’ve learned when I focus and take my time, I have less of these frustrating moments. But, like anyone else, I still have days where I’m too caught up in my brain and forget to slow down 😁
Very informative. I am glad you kept the accident in the video. It lets us know that the pros mess up also.
Thank you! It’s good to show we all have oopsies!
Mil gracias, la explicación precisa, gracias
Thank you very much such a great video extremely informative , I am very happy that you included your mistake that is so genuine can't wait to see part 2
Thank you so much Kevin! ☺️
Love the way you provide details of the tools you are using as you demonstrate. And I like that you give alternative tool options.
Thank you so much Becky!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi your lesson is much better than one I paid for! Thank you.
Awww thank you so much Liz. I think sometimes it comes down to the teacher’s ability to clearly articulate the steps. I’ve taken a lot of classes that were helpful, but honestly, I’ve learned a lot more from doing things wrong 😁
Wow amazing job. Thank You. I have to learn all of this.
It’s a labor of ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your video! I appreciate you showing your mistakes as well as your accomplishments!!!
Thank you so much Deb 🥰
Great lesson. So clear. Now to search for part 2.
Thank you Jennifer! 😃
Great video!!! You’re such an inspiration! Please keep your awesome videos coming! I’m so happy I discovered your RUclips channel! ♥️
Thank you so much!!
Love it
🥰 thank you!
Love love this video thank you so much
You are welcome. If you’d like to see anything in particular, I’d love to know.
@@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith would love more on using burs (types)on setting for a faceted stone and how u measure for placement of where u cut or bur.I always have issues with that type of setting. Love your work especially the video of the cignet ring
@@littles64 I will definitely put that on my agenda for a video. Thank you for the suggestion.
@@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith thank you so much
Thank you so much for exelent video, you explain things in such a easy an understandable way👍hope you will continue with many more to come❤️
You are so welcome! I have a few new ones in the works now and hope to have them posted soon!
Would you think of doing one on how to make ring like the one you are wearing?
Absolutely! Great suggestion! I will put it on my list of videos to make.
Hi, thank you ;)
☺️
Nice
Thank you!
Oops, just went back and you DID say 14 g. I am so excited to make this!
😆
Omg that color stone is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Thank you for making this video Julessa I cannot wait to get started!!! 💖💎💖
I think the stone is discontinued. I’ve had it in my stash for about 10 years 😂🤣
@@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith awe rats! I can only seem to find very plain ones clear... I love the way you built that setting though I think I finally have a chance of success✊😁
@@JayDub_143 you can do it. It will take a few tries to get it just right, but keep at it and the muscle memory will come!\
@@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith and the book my Tim I completely forgot I have that book actually an autographed copy I got it out and holy cow the info inside is AMAZING. Can you do a video explaining the cone one? I know its in the book and I have read it now like 12 times but for some reason I still dont get it. 😕
@@JayDub_143 it’s a fantastic resource, I still use it. I’ll definitely work on the cone for bezel setting.
I just found your channel, thank you for these videos! Very informative and helpful.
Yay! I'm so glad you like the videos! I have lots more in the works.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. My question is: do you use hard soldering on both jumprings?
Thank you so much! Yes, I try to use hard solder as much as possible. I will solder parts separately then use medium to do the final soldering. Last resort, easy solder.
Love this setting. I heard 1.6 for your rings. Is that 14 gauge? Ty!
Yes, 14g ☺️
Great work! could you please tell me where did you purchase your third hand? Thank you
Hi Lina! I use the Benchmate soldering station from GRS. It comes with 2 third hands. It’s a little pricey, but is far superior than purchasing the third hands individually with the weighted bases. I bought mine from riogrande.com.
million of thanks to share your precious experiance
please give formula for size of bezel same like in your oval feceted ston bezel video thanks a lot
Ok soon
Great video. I might’ve missed it but did you use hard or medium solder on the second ring?
Thank you! 😄 I use hard solder wherever I can! But if you’re worried you may overheat and “unsolder’ the first join, you can move to the medium on the second ring.
Julessa, may I ask what pliers those are? they look like Lindstroms, just not sure which model.
Yes, they are Lindstrom pliers, but they are about 18 yrs old so they don’t look like the newer ones 😄
Hello . Please how can i making hard silver solder
I will make a video about this soon!
Omg... because it was budget friendly, the first time I tried doing this I used copper wire and it was a disaster! LOL! I'm going to try again though with silver. Btw, did you make the pretty ring you're wearing? Thanks for sharing!
Copper is great to practice with for lots of things except stone setting. I recommend using brass instead. It’s a harder metal and behaves a little more like gold and silver.
Yes, I did make the ring! Thank you! 😉
Thank you so much, this is so helpful. I have a question with the ring formula, is it in millimeters? for this example it should be (1.6x2) - 8? English isn't my first language so I think maybe I'm getting lost in translation haha
Yes, it is in millimeters.
So, how exactly did you get that measurement? The formula gives a measurement of 4.8mm but you said you wanted 5 or 5.5mm for the inside diameter. Is the formula just to give you a very loose idea of the size? I’ve seen a few other jeweler’s videos where they seem to use a formula exactly, but I’ve never had success that way. The formulas alway seem to make too small of a bezel or a basket.
I am new to making jewelry and you mention something that's on your website address?
Hello Margaret! I’m still working on rolling out the interface on my website, but I’m hoping to have it ready soon 😊
Can this basket be done using argentum silver?
Yes, absolutely!
Gonna give it a try. I know argentum had a tenancy to slump and I was worried about it during soldering.
It’s all about controlling your heat. Too much and it will slump no matter what! Keep your flame hot but keep it moving.
Will do that and probably not use the third hand as it gets so brittle. Thank you so much!
Get a claw setting tool for 32$ and save a lot of pain
I will have to check that out! Thank you.
Nice
Thank you!
