I fixed rings that GOT STUCK during pregnancy!

- Опубликовано: 20 фев 2020
- One mother had to have her ring cut off after her fingers swelled up during pregnancy. During this process the ring was badly mangled out of shape.
I documented the repair of these rings which included reshaping, unsoldering, sizing, resetting diamonds, tightening stones, polishing, and rhodium plating.

Me! You get some fries too sir. Don't worry about getting the bill. My treat.
The more I learn about pregnancy the less I want it
Really, it's painful but why do you think women have more then 1?
@@SynnJynn no clue
Good. Don't get pregnant. 👀
Adoption is always an option!
Same here.
For a moment I thought a doctor got their ring stuck in a pregnant woman..
OMG 😳
SAME
SAME!
Lol, same! Or something to that effect 😂😂😂
I can guarantee that’s happened at least once in human history.
Last year my husband and I were expecting our first child together, a son, and my ring would feel a little tight, but it was when I was at my 8 to 9 month of pregnancy, that my ring got stuck, and I was freaking out, because I couldn't get it off, but thank God, with lots of lotion/water, it finally came off. I couldn't wear it anymore after that, and was sad, but after our son was born in May 2020, months later, my husband bought me two new rings, and had all 3 rings resized for me to wear again. He made me so happy, because we've been together for so long, and been through so much, and finally have a child, we couldn't be more blessed.
I am very happy for you 😊
What a sweet blessed story 💕
Your finger didn't go back to normal after you gave birth?
@@malloryknox6802 my mother could not wear her rings again, till 15 years later, cause she lost some weight. Mostly is just fat and water in the finger that affects, during pregnancy you can get bloated and swollen, that will come off, after that is just loosing the baby fat, but there is a good chance you will get 1 size larger, in rings shoes, gloves, because of the growing hormones, funny enough I have never had children but I make the same size as my mother. Ever generation can be larger than their parents.
A trick to getting a stuck ring off is using dental floss! You can force one end under the ring and out the other side, then tightly wind the floss around your finger in front of the ring. Then you pull the end that you pushed under it, and it pushes the ring along the floss and pops it off!
My LONGEST VIDEO to date! I nearly lost my voice by the end. THANKS FOR WATCHING!
You did an amazing job!! Thank you for darn near losing your voice just to educate your audience ! We greatly appreciate it !!!! ❤️ very educational video !!!!! Nicely done :)
Your voice and the way you talk sounds a lot like the actor Ryan Reynolds. 😃
Does that plating only stick to the gold & not the diamonds
Amazing video! I really enjoyed every part of it. Your are so good. 😄
Perfection
Cheers
Didn’t think I’d watch this until the end but it was really interesting. I enjoyed the calming voice and nice music. Almost felt like I was watching “How It’s Made”
This is exactly what i was thinking.
Not only his work is outstanding, the images are beautiful and his voice is soothing. So glad he cracked the algorithm and we got to know his channel!
I would prefer a True Craftsman to design and make my ring rather than a mass retail produced one. Please support this Artist Craftsman so he will not go back to sizing rings 🙂✌
The results are BRILLIANT!!!
I want a replica made of my grandma's ring at some point or another. Seeing someone like this work makes that whole process seem a lot less scary.
🤣
Ring sizing is your bread and butter.
Ah yes the joys of being a goldsmith: closing up a ring only to saw right through that exact place a few minutes later
Seriously how do you not lose those diamonds that popped out.
You lose them all the time. The truth is that they're actually pretty cheap so it's not a massive problem if they fly out when polishing.
But you try to avoid that as much as possible.
(The tiny diamonds are rarely more than 10 dollars each)
And the big ones actually cost less than half what you pay for them. But you don't really lose those.

They actually cheap and jewelers replace them...the custumers never notice
@@susanmeier5168 BSLSLSKS WHAT?
@@annavelxoxo yes:) the sad reality. And even more.....tiffany diamonds are the same diamonds like any other...also the sterling silver is actually lower quality
*writes to future adult self*
: DONT WEAR RINGS WHEN PREGNANT WITH MEH BABY
Lol ima do that to
I didn't have problems with my rings. They all still fit me just fine. My feet, however, went up half a size. :/
@@TheAccidentalViking felt that
I ended up getting a cheap set similar style to the set he's working on while pregnant as my hands swelled so my wedding ring was tight afterwards I could wear my real set the temp set is a little big on me now but was worth getting it to me as I hated not having a ring on after wearing one for so many years
I’m fortunate enough not to have experienced any swelling so far but I have roughly 3 months left and I’m wearing a silicone ring anyway
This was great from start to finish. I enjoy watching videos of a specialized craft. The process, the tools, the workmanship... everything is so neat to me! If it's a well-done video on top of everything, then bonus points! I didn't lose interest. It makes me more grateful for the hard work that was done to restore my grandma's wedding ring a few years ago.
Thanks Natalie for the kind comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed.
he’s like the baumgartner restoration of rings and jewellery which is sooooo cool
Then you should watch pablo cimadevila’s vdos
What beautiful rings, that child will hear about this forever lolol
I'm basically dead inside, but this was the sweetest thing I've seen in such a long time. My heart squished a bit for why they got that way and for how you made them perfect again with such care.
This video felt very short; it was enjoyable viewing this process 💙.
Wow I’m so happy to hear that considering it’s my longest RUclips video. Ha!
I don’t even wear jewelry but the algorithm sent me here and I actually enjoyed the 15 minutes of craftsmanship... good work!!
Yay you owe me a basket of rice for enjoying your voice
*basket of FRIES* hahahah but I’ll gladly get you a basket of rice too.
He said fries 😆
@@moderngoldsmith did you ever get him that rice tho 🤣
Lol I want my fries too
Score a basket of fried rice! Did I miss some day?
Question: how much would you charge for all of this work? It looks like a lot of meticulous effort :)
I don’t know why this was suggested to me but I loved it!
That woman must be so happy to have her ring restored and shining! You did an amazing job. 👏
Ok, this is officially my meditation channel. This soothing voice is so calming. The story behind the pieces...I love it!
I was just thinking the same thing! So soothing! ❤
I don’t know how I got here but I’ve never felt more soothed and comforted
Definitely have some talent. I've been a mechanic and electrical technician for over 20 years I can appreciate working with those small objects day in day out. My hands cramp just thinking about it.
My anxiety is going crazy over your fingers when you were hammering the ring 😄
My mom's fingers kind of grew around her ring set (she wears three rings, two on one hand, one on the other hand). For some reason she just didn't take them off as her fingers got bigger. She's been wanting to take them off for awhile but just didn't know what to do with them after getting them off, so they've stayed on her hand for 40+ years. She has a very modest set: two plain bands and the engagement ring is a single stone. She doesn't even remember what metal her rings are made of (she picked them out, not my dad 😅).
Great video! It's interesting to see all the steps on a seemingly more complicated job.
Also great sound mixing. I really enjoy hearing what you actually do over continuous background music. I think you hit the sweat spot with that video ;-)
This is so great to read! It’s exactly what I’m going for and I appreciate you watching and commenting!
A year late to the party but the algorithm took me here, lol. You do an incredible job of this. Your expertise is so evident, it is lovely and so meditative seeing what goes into restoring and making jewellery. Not to mention it’s such hard work! You’re a wonderful craftsman and the rings ended up so beautiful. Bless you
Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to watch!
“ If you’ve made it this far in the video, I’m gonna buy you a bag of fries one day”
...me waiting for my bag of fries
I never realized jewelry making was so dirty and so difficult.
Duh
Yeah it's crazy the things you don't think about
same girl , I started studying jewelry 4 months ago , and the amount of times Ive cute , hurt , bruised myself is high . plus the dirt but I dont mind it compared to the pain lol . It looks so easy.
The whole shop can be filthy as long as the finished project is clean.
I'm sure it was amazing to see the happy expression of that mother when she saw the ring! Beautiful job, greetings from Peru :)
I took two classes of small metal smithing and it was such a fun and interesting class, watching this brought back some memories and it was fun that I was able to understand some things 🙂
Loved watching this video! A lot of meticulous attention to accuracy, detail, and skill goes into Goldsmithing and the repair of high end fine jewelry! This is a master craftsman at work.
Such talent! I think it speaks volumes that you do this kind of work and still find time to film and produce a video! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The editing and narration require some late nights, but I think it's worth it! Thanks for watching.
I loved watching this, it was like a spa day for these exhausted rings, and now they feel like themselves again! I subscibed!

ME: "The joy of trying to decide if I'm floating on air or if all my stress has floated away from listening to their voices" lol🤣
Anyone else who didn’t search for this,❤️
Well if you ever need to go back to sizing rings consider producing guided meditations or affirmations. That voice will help humanity!!!
It’s the first time I was watching one of your videos and I loved it!
Your way to explanations show how much you enjoy what you are doing.
Thank you
I love your work station. I have always wanted to learn how to do this. Way back in my family I had a great great Uncle who was a jeweler and had a shop on Philadelphia'Jewelers Row. Although we never met, I would have loved to watch this guy work. I was thrilled to see your restoration on this set. I could watch you all day. So glad to have found you. Thank you for sharing.
In every ring sizing the jeweler should tighten the prongs. Good job
Your skills are breathtaking, your voice is soothing, and the whole process is mesmerizing. Wonderful job! 👍❤️👏
I love how detailed your videos are!! as an aspiring jeweler, it is so helpful to have someone explain every single step they take. I learn so much from watching your techniques 🙏🏻
This is EXACTLY why I never wore my rings while I was pregnant, although my fingers are insanely tiny already, almost at 4.25 size. They haven't increased in size in 5 years either, guess I was lucky. Fortunately her rings were only half eternity bands and not full eternity. Otherwise, I can imagine some stones popping out when they cut the bands. I've seen it with my friends rings when she went into labor🤦
Note to self, We Want A Custom Wedding Ring💁🏾♀️
Self: But you’re single.
Local jewelry shops is the way to go. Even more affordable than chain stores.
This video was so relaxing. Your voice is soothing.
That polishing though... the best part. I got to take a jewelry class way back in high school and my final project was sculpting and casting a silver ring. The polishing was like clean sheets on freshly shaven legs. Just the absolute best feeling ever.
I love this channel, I love your attitude, your compassion for your clients, your inclusivity! It’s been a rough year and these videos bring me so much joy! I hope I can create a custom piece from you one day! Thanks for making these videos!!!!
Spectacular. Seeing you work and excel at your craft is very satisfying, as well as educational in learning how much goes into goldsmithing. Keep up the fantastic work and vids!
Will do! Thanks for the comment.
Consider doing a side by side at the end it will be really satisfying!
This makes me so happy... I'm sure she was overjoyed to tears getting these back. Your work is amazing and I'm grateful you share with us on RUclips.
My father was a master goldmisth for over 50 yrs. He died in 2020 and I inherited all his tools and some of his skills. I've been watching many other smiths, trying to fill in the gaps in what he taught me. Thank you for the video.
I love this I went to school for jewelry, but never did anything with my degree until this year glad to have found your channel it's relaxing to see someone work in such a calm manner. I have also never seen rhodium plating done before so cool!
I did it, watched the whole thing! This was a great video, i can’t tell you how much this just did for me. It’s been quite some time since I’ve made jewelry, 15 years since I stopped and at that point was only making bracelets and small, easy things & 20 years since my last rings and pendants. Long story short I basically lost access to a studio and didn’t have the majority of my own tools. That plus being in college equaled no more!
I never really thought I’d get back into it, as you know it can be expensive!! But I’m going to dammit!! Watching you polish those rings at the end there, I fully understand that feeling and haven’t felt it in years! I need to make some shiny!!
So thank you my friend, you’ve reignited a smoldering ember that I’d forgotten and I hope you can understand what that means to me. You’re heart is in your work and I hope you’re well compensated for it. Thank you again, I’ll watch all the rest of your content for sure! Kick ass!🤘🎃🤘
Thank you for adding commentary!! So many jewelry videos don’t have commentary to follow along and actually learn what the goldsmith is doing.
This video is incredible! Loved the length and topic. Just subscribed after the algorithm showed me the Ariana vid. Excited to watch more!
i was fascinated how they went from almost gold to silver colour
Your quality is amazing truly. I'm excited for longer videos! Id love before n after video at the end of videos that's always super satisfying to see
I've worked at Kay Jewelers for almost six months now (dream job to work in the jewelry industry) and even though mainstream companies aren't usually my thing, till I find a better job, it's awesome. I have always wondered when we send things to the shops how rings get repaired. Such an incredible and impressive process! Definitely gives me y more respect for the awesome people repairing rings. Kinda makes me want to do it as a hobby!
The man gets a free manicure everytime you polish those rings! 👀💎Lovely job might I say.
Thank you for this video, it’s was great to watch on this painful day ! Take care !
Hope things are going well today. Thanks for watching!
Wow 😯 you did some magic on those rings .
I seriously LOVED every second of this video! The final product was so amazing! I am subscribing right now!!
The polishing finger is something I'd never heard of! You have really honed your craft, and it shows.
Holy crap you absolutely transformed those! I found you from your celebrity ring reviews but I like this too. I want to know more about how you got started in this craft--I'll take a look through your videos :)
I fricken love what you do and honestly you should be more known I'm glad I came across ur videos
I’m officially on a binge of your videos!
Your shooting style and voice overs😘🤌🏻
Beautiful! I became allergic to white gold during my pregnancy, wish I had known about the rodium process, but my husband upgraded the rings a few years later. I could not wear mine either. It had been 2.5 years, before we were able to upgrade.
It's been a few months now and I still haven't got my basket of fries ...
Arctic Wolf me neither
@@melissastancu8407 we should start a protest
Some day, only comes to those who wait.
Love this video! Also love baskets of French fries, so that works out for me nicely.
Thank you! come get yours in Vancouver/Portland!
Such a beautiful video, I think the mother wanting wear her rings again prompt my curiosity. I just sorta stumbled onto this video thru the Blood Diamond vs lab Diamond vs CZ video, what an artist you are! Thank you for your craftmanship, it is evident that your love your craft by your attention to detail. I once had a ring sized for someone and it was clear where the sizing was done, not everyone cares. Your video editing and video production is so engaging I watched the entire video before I knew it, and it wasn't until I heard your promise of fries that I even noticed. Thank you, 16 minuets well spent.
More long videos! It was so awesome to be able to see your entire process for a single project!
I don’t like the last step of conservation, but I do love everything else ❤️
During the steps I thought, why didn’t he changed the length first. The result is perfect 👌🏻 But to be honest, I still don’t know. Why did you add the material later?
My guess would be he didn’t know what size it was. So he needed to restore the ring first, then he knew his client wanted a size larger than what he had. 🤷🏻♀️
@@heididavison816 Interesting 🤔, that could be the reason. Thank you!
This is your second video that RUclips has recommended to me. Congrats, they threw you another bone!
I want to compliment your craftsmanship! I think I’ll get a nice understated band when I get married and hopefully forego an engagement ring but seeing the end result on these beautiful rings removes my concern about being “boring:” the luster and shine of all that hard work after polishing is so eye capturing. Any well crafted ring with sentimental meaning to me will be enough... hopefully it will look as nice as these!
What a great video! Even if I know nothing about the craft I really enjoy sitting down and watching you give new life to jewelry!
Glad you are doing what you love! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Keep watching all you’ll end up knowing more than most people haha
Does resizing the ring reduce the quality, strength or value of a ring?
The way he does it No. the metal is reheated, annealed properly and quenched so that there is no loss of strength in the ring.
I actually like the longer format
You’ve gained a subscriber! The transformation is amazing! The process was an interesting watch. Very satisfying! 👀
The beginning vs the end result is amazing. Great work.
Question: how do I become a jeweler goldsmith person
My friend is a goldsmith, and I know she went to school for it. Maybe there is a college near you that offers a goldsmith program.
He has a video posted about this
Came for Ariana video, stayed because your videos are awesome!
Hello 👋🏻
The attention to detail is fantastic! Keep making your fantastic videos!
Wow - the amount of work that went into restoring these rings, amazing! Great job 👍🏼 I would’ve loved to see the customers reaction.
I can’t wait for my fries... if my dog is also watching does she get some too?
Who would dislike a video like this !!?!?!!?😐‼️
Subscribed for an interesting, high-quality production. Loved every second
RUclips just recommended your video and I find this isn't anything but perfection. Visuals are mesmerizing, awesome artisan with a soothing voice and a hint of humor. It's like watching a documentary but better. Honestly, you don't have a million subscribers yet but you will. Good luck and thank you for your videos!!
You definitely owe me a basket of fries
I'm curious why you soldered the rings before sizing them? Would there be some sort of integrity issue if you hadn't done that first?
I was thinking the same thing!
Thought the same thing.
Great question
I used to work as an apprentice at a shop, I did most of the polishing and playing at first, that rhodium gave me flashbacks of blocked out memories of trays upon trays of white gold rings
WOW! Beyond words, this is so stunning. Such talent. Excited I stumbled upon your channel. Instantly subscribed and turned on all notifications. ❤️
We wanna see Your custom jobs!!!!!
I didn't know rings could be separated after being soldered together. I gained some weight after being married for a couple years and needed my rings resized. My engagement ring is 1/8 kt marquee diamond on a very thin gold band (was my husband's late mother's) and we picked a jacket for it that has some accent diamonds but a more substantial band. We took it to the place we bought the jacket at to be resized and they said it was impossible because the band was too thin, I left in tears because they also commented on how small it was even after I explained that it had sentimental value.
I went to a more reputable local jewler and they fixed it in a week and said it was routine.
Sending virtual hugs for you🤗💗 people can just be so rude sometimes...
I’m happy you got what you needed at the end💗💗💗
You do amazing work! I so love watching your videos to expand my own knowledge. Your voice is so calming and the way you explain what you are doing and why is so helpful. Thank you so much for making these videos. Cheers!
Love your videos! The process is memorizing, your voice is so calming, you’re talented, and funny.
Beautiful work, beautiful rings! Where are my fries tho ? :DD
I had a ring sized down after pregnancy, they just squished it :(
Wow!! That was incredible, omg that was such an amazing job! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, I genuinely enjoyed watching! ✨👏🏽
Beautiful ring set and beautiful work done as always ❤️
