- In this tutorial I show you how to set a stone within a stone. I review concepts covered in last weeks tutorial, including how to create your own cabochon using natural beach rocks, and setting a stone within a bezel. I also expand on the tutorial with a demonstration on how to sweat solder together 2 silver sheets. I talk about the colors of silver to help you understand melting points.
Feel free to comment or ask questions below and I will do my best to answer. 
Thank you for this tutorial.
That's a really creative idea!
(Just don't forget that second "e" in "breathe")
You are an amazing teacher (coming from a retired teacher)! I have pre-ordered your book and can't wait to have in my hot little hands!
You're wonderful, thank you so much!
You are such an awesome teacher, and I absolutely love your work! Thank you for writing a book-I can't wait till my copy arrives! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Great video, very informative. Thanks for sharing.
I am so grateful you share your art Nicole! I’ve learned a lot from you💞 This ring rocks❣️😘
Excellent, thank you!
So glad I found your channel. Great job!
Yay, thank you!
I found you on IG and then followed your links to your RUclips channel and website. Your artistry is so inspiring, and I love how you have experimented and found your own way of doing things. I have learned everything I know about silversmithing from books and RUclips. One of my strength is that I am not afraid to try new things and not afraid to fail. Silversmithing is so forgiving that way. Look forward to more unique tutorials from you. Also I preordered your book from Amazon. Thank you!
thank you SO MUCH!
I have always wondered how stone in stone settings are done! I love that you use essential oils at the end. What a lovely idea! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Keep those videos coming. I love to watch your processes! ❤
Fabulous, thank you!
Wonderful. Thank you!
Hi Nicole I have always admired your jewelry style on IG. I just found your YT channel today. Great video and now i'm off to watch the rest. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you!!
Great video and ring! Thanks! Can't wait for your book to arrive.
Thank you so much Nicole. I am really enjoying your tutorials. I learn something each time. The ring is awesome. I look forward to the day I can do an in person class with you. 🧡
Oh good! And yes, come play! The in-person workshops are jam-packed with information.
I’m so happy to have come across you… I learn best by understanding the whole process and I just love how you tie everything together. It’s not just step 1, step 2, step 3… this may not make sense lol but anyhow you’re a great teacher and artist. I would love to take a class from you. I’ll have to look into it, ha.
My in-person workshops are chalk-full of information. I'd love to have you partake!

Sorry, I always seem to write a novel when I leave text messages…
What a beautiful piece and like I always say, this is definitely Nicole Ringgold design… Nicole, I am a self taught Silversmith. And I learned a lot from watching RUclips channels. When I wanted to start mastering my skill, I started taking classes from some highly respected excellent metalsmith instructors. Right now, having the opportunity to learn from you, I have picked up on some techniques that I’ve never known or have ever been shown. This also includes the instructors who I took classes from. I am not trying to put down any other metalsmith instructor. Because yes, I learned a lot from them as well. But there were at least three techniques that you used when it came to using your sawblade, your flame control, and oh, I’ve never thought about using a drill press or a rotary tool to shape other stones besides the Seaglass that I use.. I have so much respect for you as a metalsmith instructor. People who are not familiar with you, and now that you are teaching on RUclips, your channel will blow up!!!!! You’re going to hear so many people talk about techniques that you use. Something they’ve never used before. I never thought I would like a pebble type ring, I am so in love with this ring that you just designed and showed how it became created. I’m trying to use artistic words. lol 🤭 even the tone in your voice is calm and relaxing, it is easy to follow your instructions. I know that I want to come to Washington and take one of your weeklong classes. It would definitely be money spent. I have a couple of questions one can I use some of my raw gemstones that I have let’s say rose quartz I probably have about 25 pieces that are the radius size a little over a quarter, can I use my drill press, and of course the bowl of water and shape the rose quartz using the diamond core bits??? I know quartz is a very hard stone but pebble rocks. I think would be hard too. I’m asking because I don’t want to burn out my drill press or my Foredom rotary tool??? 2. Are we allowed to make these types of rings that you just made ourselves? Without getting in trouble for copyright violations????
Thank you, thank you, thank you, For making such a beautiful piece of jewelry and sharing what goes on in Nicole Ringgold’s mind… SuperBig Hugs 🤗, Michelle
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. To answer your questions: 1. I'm not sure about rose quartz. You can certainly flatten the bottom, but I'm not sure about hollowing it out. I'm not super well versed with stones. I'm sorry. 2. Yes, you can use the designs I show. I would just appreciate a shout-out when you use them. Thank you again!
@@ringgoldnic most definitely you will always get a shout out from me!!! as you know, I am one of your biggest fans… I’ve already started telling people that you are on RUclips… so as soon as I make my ring, you’re going to hear about it. Big hugs 🤗 , Michelle
I have a few question to ask you what is your big square soldering board are you using?? Who do you buy it from???
Thanks, 🤗Michelle
I use a silquar soldering platform from Rio Grande@@aumi.jewels
Awesome video Nicole, I really liked seeing it different that the usual stone on stone version. In fact I am definitely going to give this a whirl. A good friend just sent me some rocks to cab up I am hoping there is some in there I can use to make a ring using this technique . Thank you for sharing this with us it is appreciated.
I'd love to hear how it goes!
I will definitely let you right now its a bit cold in the garage for cabbing but as soon as we have a warm day I will try it out @@ringgoldnic
🤩
Hi, nice to learn the techniques you are sharing, but I would like to learn how did you make the nice ring (the tree leaves) you wear
Thanks in advance
Thank you for your nice comment. The leaf tutorial is available for sale here: nicoleringgold.podia.com/how-to-make-a-leaf
What are the silver tweezers you are using to place the solder? They look like nice quality...
These are some of my favorite. I don't use them when soldering, but they are precise, and they can go in the pickle: www.riogrande.com/product/titanium-tweezers-set-of-3/115561GP/?code=115561
Hi, I am really enjoyed your video, I was thinking to buy a hammer handpiece because I have a problem to set a bit thicker bezel band, can I know what the thicknesses of the bezel band you used? Thank you
I will get that info for you when I'm back in my studio tomorrow!
It's 26 gauge fine silver bezel wire
@@ringgoldnic Thanks so much, currently I am working on a 25 gauge bezel band, I will try your method, push it from down to up,hope it will work. .Have a nice weekend .
What brand and where do you get your third hand from please?
Mine is a GRS: www.riogrande.com/product/grs-short-third-hand-with-heavy-weighted-base/502016GP/?code=502016
I’m allergic to all essential
Oils so I would find jewellery with it on a problem.
That’s a great point. It is important to ask customers about their allergies before applying the essential oils.
