      @@alysonpreval4241 It has EVERYTHING to do with love! Why else would you propose to someone?? And of course, you buy what you can afford, but to say love has nothing to do with it makes it a transaction and nothing more.

    Beautiful work Andrew . I recently retired after 40 years as a goldsmith in Vancouver , Canada and enjoy the different videos from jewellers world wide . I am curious where you trained . Very nicely made , I'm betting you had a good apprenticeship .

      @ashcroftjewellery  2 года назад +10

      Thanks:) I apprenticed with an Australian goldsmith named Rodger who was working here in the UK at the time. After he went home, I set up on my own but continue, to this day, to find experts in particular areas to learn from 👍

    Wow. I applaud you on your dedication and beautiful work.
    I took jewelry making in high school a long time ago. I made a few things of silver with wire and pre made ring molding. I remember how difficult it was to work with such a small object. I even carved a ring out of wax and unfortunately didn’t measure the amount of metal correctly. I ended up with the ring missing the top part of the carving. I was so devastated. It took hours to carve the ring.

    • @ashcroftjewellery

      It's not easy to get started. You would really need to find either a jewellery school or someone willing to take in an apprentice. The setting style for the small stones is usually referred to as micro setting.

      Nejla and me romantic. The emotion behind the token promise for the endless story. I’m a Lapidarist and cut stones but I’ve just taken up my other now hobby of Silversmithing. Everyth8ng made, has emotion. You’re worried about the ‘giver’ being honest, I think. You are correct. A real Zircon ring is about 25 times more valuable than common diamonds. Most real stones have survived for way more than 10,000 years, plus a stone can be repolished on a Lapidary Wheel so any stone you choose will be perfect for you. Choose your partner well friend.
