With my transparent stone inlays, i found that coloring the channel before adding the stone brings the color back. I think the light reflects off the colored bottom and enhances the tint of the stone somewhat. With amethyst, i use a cheap pale violet nail polish, and with peridot, pale green. Darker polish is almost too dark. Also, if my inlay fails, drop the ring in acetone, not nail polish remover, for a while and it will dissolve the glue. Then try again.
That’s such a clever idea! I can definitely see how the light reflection would enhance the color. Thank you for the acetone tip too; I didn’t realize it could dissolve the glue like that. I’ll keep both ideas in mind for future projects. Really appreciate you sharing this! 🤗❤️
Let me know your inlay secrets 😊. In case you haven't seen my last video where I use an egg instead of patina, the results are mind-blowing here: ruclips.net/video/jsGOaLzrjS8/видео.html
Thank you for asking! 😊 The stand you saw was actually designed and 3D printed by my husband-so it’s a totally homemade product! As for the holder, that’s a mandrel, that I just place on the stand, the stand itself it designed to hold the mandrel.

@@guidelineuk4876Hey, thank you 😊 yes, I was already thinking about those, and how convenient it would be to have them. I could do so much more detailed inlay design. I'm gonna look into it right now 😊 👍
I only used superglue, one was with the small little brush that is called "superglue" from company Bison, and the one that i used after that was Loctite control superglue. If you can send me a quick email, I can send you pictures of how they look, if that helps 🙂.
Thank you so much! 😊The wire I used for this ring is actually rectangular, with dimensions of 1 mm x 1.2 mm, but you can definitely use square wire too-it works just as fine.
Fantastic video, now it looked as though you originally used epoxy to lay down the larger turquoise pieces and then used cva glue or super glue for the adding dust and smaller pieces is this correct. Really enjoyed the video thank you for making it.
Thank you so much 😊. Actually I haven't played with other types of adhesives but I'm planning to. Your comment inspired me to look in to resin and epoxy more closer. I'm just now in the midst of trying to perfect this kinds of ring design, just buy trying to "biuld" the inlay part in much more detail and intention, so that i can make rings with interesting crystal patterns and other materials. I'm using superglu and superglue only. I find it works just as good as other adhesives. Thank you so much for your comment, it means the world 😊.
Thank you! ❤️. Ah, so by ‘fancy tools,’ I mean machines like the lathe machine, ring lathe, micro milling machine, and CNC milling machine-all of which make the inlay process a lot more precise and efficient. 😊
A gorgeous looking ring...
Thank you 😊

This looks really beautiful 😍
Thank you 😊 💓
You don’t do any kind of pickle process so that the silver doesn’t tarnish so fast?
Sure, I do pickle, I just didn't show it in the video 😇
@@catarinagartner1142 I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that lol 😂

What is the stand and holder that you put the ring on right around 8:45 in the video clip and where can it be purchased?

Hi! What gas torch do you use?

It’s beautiful! 😍. What kind of glue do you use?
Thank you 😊, i use superglue but has to be transparent one.
You can buy a super glue bottle extender tips they really help with the delivery of the glue GREAT work :-)

Great ring. But dare I ask, wth is a fancy tool then ? >.> But great work
