Thank you very much for this logical and clear explanation and in a record time of 5 minutes that my teacher took him 3 hours to explain more or less this technique.
It is very important to know the weight of the metal when casting. I enjoyed a lot when I watched this clip, and it was simple and clear. Thank you very much .

Hi awesome video, I have a question though can we change the weight on the ring ? For example I purchased a file for a Cuban ring on cgtrader and the aprox weight in 14kt gold is 16 grams but I would only like it to be 6 grams how would I do that ?
You'd basically need to reduce the volume of the ring - making it thinner, smaller and or hollowing out parts. Obviously you'll need to take care not to make it too thin and weak, so that it's practical for manufacturing processes and wear. Loosing 10g may be a bit of an unwinnable battle. If you require any professional help with it, feel fee to get in touch. jack@jackrow.com
Thanks A LOT! I've tried to dawnload this helpful spread sheet but it ask me for your permission to use it. Its there any cost to download it because I don't mind to pay for it?
Assuming you’re opening the file with GoogleSheets, click File in the top left corner, then Download and finally choose Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) . Let me know if that works for you.
It's weird because I get a must lighter weight on the finished pieces than what was calculated. For ex, a piece that showed a volume of 310.8 mm3 (so 4.22g in 14k according to the calculator) ends up weighing just 3.4g once cast and polished. I understand polishing will take away some gold, but surely not that much..
Weights generated from the sheet are approximate and estimated. Depending upon the size and quality of the casts, the amount of metal removed can vary . Did you weigh the raw cast? Alloys are also not identical so weight can vary here too between metals.
@@jtrdesign-practicalrhinoje9669No I only send the 3d model and receive the finished piece. The casting workshop is only charging me for 3.4g, so I don't see how it would make sense for them to skimp on the amount of gold in their casting grain.

I thought 5 minutes was a little over kill :D Glad you like the video.

Thank you for this informative video. May I ask if how about the gold bar 24k is it possible to define the requirements?
thank you for your clear explanation and for sharing the spreadsheet, very helpful!
Glad you liked it
Very helpful. Thanks!
Very welcome!
Hello! could you please give us the conversion formulas for 10K and 24K? Thank you for the helpful spreadsheet!
Sure thing! Ill update the file when I get chance
What is I have named edges. How can I fix it?
Naked edges? It could be a very simple or complex thing to fix. Feel free to email me you model and I’ll take a look for you.

@@jtrdesign-practicalrhinoje9669 thank you! the designer managed to lower the wait a bit to about 10 grams
@@Jrthejeweler_ Glad you got it sorted.😅
@@Jrthejeweler_ Nice to hear it worked out
How would I check the karat weight if I put stones in the piece ?
You'll need to take the stones away or you will not have an accurate estimate.
Thank you ) very helpful video )) please keep doing some tutorial videos ))
Thanks, will do!
Brilliant, thank you so much for this!
You're very welcome!
