- 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
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!
*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
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.
Ah yes the joys of being a goldsmith: closing up a ring only to saw right through that exact place a few minutes later
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.
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?
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?
@@annavel2533 yes:) the sad reality. And even more.....tiffany diamonds are the same diamonds like any other...also the sterling silver is actually lower quality
he’s like the baumgartner restoration of rings and jewellery which is sooooo cool
Then you should watch pablo cimadevila’s vdos
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.
“ 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
What beautiful rings, that child will hear about this forever lolol
I don’t know how I got here but I’ve never felt more soothed and comforted
I don’t even wear jewelry but the algorithm sent me here and I actually enjoyed the 15 minutes of craftsmanship... good work!!
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.
That woman must be so happy to have her ring restored and shining! You did an amazing job. 👏
I don’t know why this was suggested to me but I loved it!
My anxiety is going crazy over your fingers when you were hammering the ring 😄
Question: how much would you charge for all of this work? It looks like a lot of meticulous effort :)
This video felt very short; it was enjoyable viewing this process 💙.
Wow I’m so happy to hear that considering it’s my longest CZcams video. Ha!
Anyone else who didn’t search for this,❤️
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.
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 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.
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 😅).

MG: "The joy of jewelry making"
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🤣
Well if you ever need to go back to sizing rings consider producing guided meditations or affirmations. That voice will help humanity!!!
I'm sure it was amazing to see the happy expression of that mother when she saw the ring! Beautiful job, greetings from Peru :)
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!
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 🙂

Local jewelry shops is the way to go. Even more affordable than chain stores.
I loved watching this, it was like a spa day for these exhausted rings, and now they feel like themselves again! I subscibed!
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.
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
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.
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.
In every ring sizing the jeweler should tighten the prongs. Good job
More long videos! It was so awesome to be able to see your entire process for a single project!
The attention to detail is fantastic! Keep making your fantastic videos!
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🤦
Consider doing a side by side at the end it will be really satisfying!
Your work is awesome! Thanks for letting us watch it!
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!
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
This video was so relaxing. Your voice is soothing.
I’m officially on a binge of your videos!
Your shooting style and voice overs😘🤌🏻
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 was fascinated how they went from almost gold to silver colour
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 :)
Beautiful ring set and beautiful work done as always ❤️
It’s nice to see how detailed and meticulous you are! I’ve had a few disaster jewelers that destroyed my rings :(
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!
Wow 😯 you did some magic on those rings .
Voice is so soothing...love watching this explanation
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 CZcams.
This video is incredible! Loved the length and topic. Just subscribed after the algorithm showed me the Ariana vid. Excited to watch more!
Your skills are breathtaking, your voice is soothing, and the whole process is mesmerizing. Wonderful job! 👍❤️👏
Thank you for adding commentary!! So many jewelry videos don’t have commentary to follow along and actually learn what the goldsmith is doing.
The beginning vs the end result is amazing. Great work.
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!🤘🎃🤘
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.
This video was so satisfying to watch. Beautiful work.
I seriously LOVED every second of this video! The final product was so amazing! I am subscribing right now!!
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!
I fricken love what you do and honestly you should be more known I'm glad I came across ur videos
Your videos are so interesting! It’s fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your work!!
This was so neat and so satisfying to watch! Beautiful work!!
This is your second video that CZcams has recommended to me. Congrats, they threw you another bone!
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.
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!!!!
Love your videos! The process is memorizing, your voice is so calming, you’re talented, and funny.
I actually like the longer format
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!
The polishing finger is something I'd never heard of! You have really honed your craft, and it shows.
They look so beautiful when you finished. Job well done!!
Who would dislike a video like this !!?!?!!?😐‼️
Love this video! Also love baskets of French fries, so that works out for me nicely.
Thank you! come get yours in Vancouver/Portland!
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.
It's easy to stick with you, your video style is soothing yet keeps my attention!
You definitely owe me a basket of fries
We wanna see Your custom jobs!!!!!
Love watching this video! I love seeing the end results. I recently got engaged and it's beautiful to see other rings
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 🙏🏻
Beautiful work, beautiful rings! Where are my fries tho ? :DD
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.
This is the most relaxing and satisfying video ever! I hope my ring in repair now is in as good of hands as yours!
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!
I can’t wait for my fries... if my dog is also watching does she get some too?
Came for Ariana video, stayed because your videos are awesome!
Hello 👋🏻
The rings look stunning! Great work.
Finished product looks amazing.
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💗💗💗
Question is it better to have the rings separated or soldered together
I don't think there is a right or wrong here, it mostly depends on if you want to wear your wedding band alone, if your rings have sidestones that can shave against the bands, if one ring will help the other one stay in place and stop it from spinning...
Multiple rings wear against each other, so there's that to consider. I prefer wearing one ring as opposed to stacking rings. Besides, it's more comfortable.
My engagement ring looks like 3 rings together and i absolutely hate it. It looks like a halo engagement ring with two bands, one on top and one at the bottom. I asked a jeweler if it can be made smaller and it can’t. I guess it’s just preference for the most part. But idk why anyone would want one huge piece on their finger.
Fascinating! You have a lovely manner -- well done.
I so wish we could see her reaction for the rings you so beautifully brought back to life!
