This is a cut of my last three videos all together, with added footage of the design drawing stage. This video is a little on the long side so make a cup of tea and sit back and relax. I might do a shorter version at some point.
Each piece of this beautiful ring is made by hand using a blend of ancient and modern techniques to the highest standards. Great care is taken over even the smallest part. This is the in the series taking an in depth look at my jewellery making process.
This video will take you through every stage of making this amazing ring from start to finish. Including melting gold, forging and rolling out the metal, saw piercing fine parts, making a 4 claw setting from scratch, soldering platinum and gold, laser welding, micro setting, engraving scrollwork, diamond setting, and polishing. I plan to also do a version with the design drawings as well.
If you have any questions regarding any of the techniques used in this video or want to find out more about having a ring made please get in touch.

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 ❤
@@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.
Just beautiful
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 👍
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.
An amazing work of art! I would be proud to wear this!

Acojonante !! 👏👏👏👏
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.
Es precioso,desde luego que merito tiene ,eso es ARTE
Nice design
Wow... wow...
Wow so beautiful
This is incredibly beautiful, so intricate and graceful. I shudder to think what it cost, actually.
Awesome
It's called masterpiece
Superbe boulot ❤
