@@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 .
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 👍
What an awesome piece. I loved the close ups during the creation. I especially loved the engraving on the inside of the ring. You are a true artist with a high level of craftsmanship. Thank you for showing us start to finish of this exquisite ring.
Besides this being one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I've seen, your artistic process was so moving to me. I felt like I was witnessing a great artist create an amazing work of art. This is going to sound nuts but between your work and the music I was almost moved to tears. It is stunning...
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.
As a relatively new Jeweler I would have really appreciated you talking about what you were doing and why. If you didn't want to talk through the video some notes on the screen from time to time explaining what you were doing, tools you were using, etcetera would have been enjoyable. Your work is stunning
Amazing ,beautiful work.😍😍🎉 i was just searching a video on have to fix my wedding ring cuz the diamond fell-off and putting it back is expensive where i live and takes weeks to get it back.😥😔
Hi, Bobby. I am Donny Factory who is working on jewelry in Korea. I was impressed by your video so I took a video of myself. Thank you. I will show you how much I can improve.
Awesome! I really admire your talent, and your patience. How many hours did it actually take to finish this ring? It’s absolutely beautiful. Thankyou for sharing.
That my friend is an extremely well made exquisite piece of metal and diamond live right there, who needs a proposal for one this stunning......this one's worth proposing to yourself for, forget about the man😂.
From one jeweller to another, beautifully done mate! I’m interested as to where you got the attachment for your torch to take the needle? I assume you’re using oxy/acetylene for it to stay lit?
As someone who has never even dabbled in this fine art of ring making, what would be a good starting point for me to learn this craft? and side note how do the accents stay in? any advice is greatly appreciated! beautiful work too btw!
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.
Hi, it depends a lot on the stones and there's such a huge range of prices. I could a similar looking ring for a lot less or a lot more than that one. If you're interested in finding out more drop me an email, andrew@ashcroftjewellery.com
I think it was really good, don't cut anything out of video, maybe add how you soldered the prongs :) but its beautiful - thank you for sharing - Happy holidays and it was awesome :)
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.
Imagine someone loving you so much that they thought you deserved that stunning piece of jewelry. I am in awe.
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated:)
Beautiful. Beautiful.
Nothing to do with love, it’s all about affordability. Btw I still think the ring is stunning ❤

Wow!!!! I have a new appreciation for my ring now. The amount of work that goes into one, absolutely amazing. What a beautiful ring you made.

@@ashcroftjewellery Thanks so much! Ill be sure to start looking for such opportunities.
I do love this ring. I do wonder, from your opinion what would a craft this glorious usually run in price?

It's about who's that coming from. Perfect ring doesn't mean diamond. That means the ring comes from the heart 😊 👍♥️🙏
