A classic design collet for jewellery. Used for years and will continue to be so.
In this video I show how to make one entirely by hand.
I explain in depth and show clearly every stage of the process to finish one. Making an oval collet isnt too difficult but to finish one with perfect accuracy may take some practice.

Calling for new patrons!
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level usually found in High Street jewellers workshops.
Become a classic patron and you will not only be able to view part 2 of full instructional guides but also be thanked personally on the next youtube upload! You will also have access to all future uploads 2 weeks before they go live on youtube.
Official patrons have all the benefits of a classic patron but also gain access to regular exclusive content. Behind the scenes, personal jewellery projects Im working on, I share ideas for future videos, photos and stories from throughout my career as a professional jeweller.
Also Official patrons are welcome to suggest ideas for future videos and contact me anytime if they need advice for their own jewellery making endeavors.
Classic patronage is just £5 a month and to become an Official patron costs only £10 a month making Diamond Mounter patronage by far the best value way to gain access to online jewellery making courses.
As the number of full instructional guides continues to grow the value will be even more considerable.

I can’t explain how happy I am to have found your channel! I’ve been a goldsmith for 3 years and I really struggle to find good informational videos online. A lot of people in this industry don’t want to share their secrets 😂
I hear that! I literally had to buy every book and search RUclips for years because of the same super secrecy . But over the years I have come to know that for every stingy person their is one who will share all they know openly. Just gotta find them. 😂
My favorite RUclips teacher !
Hi Chris, first of all, love that you are so honest and show your frustrations and struggles, which helps a beginner, perfectionist like me to know that this isn’t easy and I shouldn’t be hard on myself. Too many videos on here, that make everything look easy and seamless when in fact, it’s quite the opposite. So thank you 🙏. What solder do you use for the claws? I’m guessing medium??
I enjoy watching and learning from you!
Just wanted to say, your videos are enjoyable becz you sound like a great guy to have a beer with.
thank you for all the hints . some have come in handy
Learned a lot ! !
Thank you so much for sharing your bravo techniques~🥰🥰🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoy the details! 🎉
Comparing this method to the emerald collet you made from a round collet, the oval could be shaped in a similar way by tightening the curve on two ends with half-round pliers instead of flattening with parallel pliers as you did with the emerald collet. Your explanation of the various techniques employed is very thorough.
The "dodgy craftsmanship" comments get me every time. :D
Very helpful video, thank you!
Always enjoy your tutorials Chris
Your videos are always really helpful to me. Thank you. 🍏( apple for the teacher)

Great work 😊❤
Hey, I’m a student taking the second semester of a Jewlery fabrication class and I was wondering if you could do a video dedicated to bending silver into that “rainbow” shape to turn up for a collet. I’ve done 2 collets, one circle and one oval, but I always seem to struggle with the initial bending of my silver.
Sir ,first of all …wish you very good health!
My request is to plz mention gauge of bezel, gauge of claw you use
Chris, thanks so much for your great videos! Did you ever find out what stone the gem dealer almost sold you by mistake?? To me it sounds like a padparadscha (hm spelling sux) sapphire... my dream gem....???
Thanks for sharing your advice and skills
Did you use hard solder for all the solder joins, if so how do you stop the others from melting? I’m getting pit marks, I can’t work out why. Thanks
Turned out ok 👍🏻
Very nice GOLD silver ring
Hi, I´Patricia from Argentina, I began to watch yr videos two days ago,I love them and the way you explain how to make jewelry, but I would like since a complex job, if you could put subtitles in spanish, it would be fantastic and easier, thanks in advance, hopefully possible
Thanks for the sharing your knowledge.
in the patreon videos, do you go into depth with the setting of the stones and the different types of settings?
No i can only do very basic setting! Im a specialist of making mounts only
Where do I get those black grinding wheels that you were using
How is it possible that your first soldered claws not melting when you are soldering the fourth claw??
Genki! Chris, what size metal(s) are you using as you fabricate these mounts? It would be great to know what you choose and why, project to project. Great video!! Love your sense of humor and goofiness/humility. Refreshing combined with your confidence; a perfect balance.
Quick add: I watched a Blaine Lewis (stone setter) video on RUclips; he uses burs on reverse to go slow and gentle on prongs...interesting idea.
Thank you Cheffy! I know that video yeah I never would of thought of that. Might be useful one day
Thank you 🙏
Another good one! Thanks Chris, your videos are awesome! Do you have one for pear shaped stones too?
I plan to do a pear shape collet soon
@@DiamondMounter that will be very helpful, thank you!
Can Kemdent polishing discs be purchased in Japan as well?
thank you for the great technique.
you have a great things to show and you have a loots of knowledge, i sow many of your videos and loves many things.
but didn't
explanation of what your going to do, i believe that a few important words and showing of the important things that you do can be better.
Ok noted thank you
If you're in professional get-things-done mode making a ring with a collet like this for a customer in a workshop, how much time would you expect it to take from pile of metal until ready to deliver? I just make things for fun myself, so if I make something like this it probably takes a week or two at least since I don't have any deadlines and I can just work when I feel like it. How quickly should an actual pro make it for it to be reasonable business?
including time spent melting bits, milling out the metal and drawing down the wire for claws then getting on with making it im sure i could have this collet done in 1 working day
Love the videos! Have been a lot of help! I am trying to make a trillion shaped necklace for my gf and definitely struggling a little..should have just bought a round stone..but was wondering if you would have any tips that might help?
Weird my oval collet block from Rio has fit all my oval stones 🤔 maybe they improved them recently
jealous! Iv never seen one that was a useful shape
Mahalo, great video 🤙🏻🌺🤙🏻
Thank you!
🙏🏽 thank you x
Another awesome video Chris! I’m thrilled to see your channel growing, this shows your videos are quality.
Question: I live in the UK where can I get those black rubber wheels?
Hermoso trabajo🇨🇱🤭
Ugh......why do you never put the stone in at the end of these videos 🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's vvvvvvvvvery lengthi video.
Please make short
Yeah ovals. Fat ovals, narrow ovals, elongated ovals. Round is round, square is square, oblong is oblong, but ovals? If it's not something soft like a tourmaline, I've been known to just use the stone as a mandrel. If it's a soft stone? Fiddle, fiddle fiddle.
That citrine is actually called a "Ametrine" the dis-colour is "Amethyst" - when an Amethyst is heated up it turns yellow - when not heat evenly all over - you get a ½ and ½ - yellow and purple.
This is another talk too much tooo much guy - makes my head spin - I'm out of here.
