Thank you so much!! I enjoyed filming it and definitely will do more in the future! Thanks for watching and commenting 🫶

Im so happy to hear that!! Thank you for watching Im glad you enjoyed! I create the bezels myself, although I would be opposed to doing that in the future :)

Oh wait I misread that lol!! I create my bezels myself using strip metal and cutting it to size. When I first started the stone I had were all different shapes and sizes so it seemed easier to make them myself! I haven’t looked into prefab ones yet personally but I’ve seen many metalsmiths use awesome decorative ones!!

Thank you Michelle 🥰🫶

Thank you! 🥰 Not as gorgeous as you 🫶

Thank you!!🫶

That sounds awesome I’ll try it out next time!! Thank you so much for the suggestion! Anything to make it go by faster/easier lol

Fortnite battle paaaasss

Love having another friend in Christ🥰Isn’t it awesome?! Although some of the exact stones have changed overtime due to many reasons such as marketing, other historical influences, etc. the origins of birthstones derive from Gods instruction of how to create the breastplate in exodus 💕

​@@rurusrings Thank you for this wonderful information ❤

Sure I’ll pin ya🥰my birthstone is the may emerald!! What’s yours?

@rurusrings thank you! This is my first pin! I'm a March Aquamarine!

That’s my sisters!! It’s a beautiful stone🦋

🤷‍♀️🥰love you

Thank you <3

Hey there! At 6:40 I drilled into the metal with my rotary tool, be sure to have it lubed up ( I use beeswax) my rotary tool only has one speed so it will legit melt the bur if I don’t lol. I use super tiny drill bits and just drill a little hole with my rotary tool and then start sawing :)

@@rurusrings Is there a model of rotary tool you like/recommend?

Thank you so much!! <3

I love this!!

Thank you for commenting!!

Thank you for your question I’m excited to answer it in my Q&A!! I SO APPRECIATE YOU!! It’s so fun meeting fellow sisters in Christ!! Thank you so much for watching and encouraging me!! It means the world <3

Oh my goodness I never thought of that!! That sounds awesome!! I would definitely watch your video and love to make one!! That is so insanely helpful!! You’re so kind <3 thank you Michelle 🤗🥰

I have a wooden mandrel but the ones with the blade to cut the size out of the wax blanks. I love both Otto Frie and Rio Grande they’re awesome!! I got my beginner silversmithing kit from Otto Frie! I’ve been wax working a lot more since this video and think I have found a really good method, using my wooden peg and metal ring sizer wrapped in tape (to allow the wax to stick) and using it as support just like you mentioned (thank you) I’m hoping to film a newer wax carving video but just need to block out the time :) Thank you Michelle 🤗

Oh my goodness you’ll make me cry!! 🥰🥺🫶You’re so sweet thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words and hope you have a wonderful day God bless you Michelle <3

This was my first time trying and OH MY GOODNESS SO GOOD!!

YES

Amethyst is a very pretty stone!! Garnet is a beautiful deep red, it’s such a classic color!!

Thank you so much!! I think she did! Thank you for watching and commenting <3

Thank you <3 I’m actually filming another wax carving video tomorrow!! I just recently found another caster so I can cast again :) thanks for checking my stuff out 🫶

Hi there! I’ve stated this in a couple of videos regarding this custom!! I absolutely adore the vintage design of this ring but if it’s between storing it in a drawer bc it’s not your style or recreating it you should 1000% make it into something more your style so you get the use of it! The history is still carried through the materials used! It’s better to remake it into something you’d wear then never wear your heirloom jewelry. It’s all up the owners preference of style :)

Thank you angel 🫶🥰

@rurusrings I agree with you 100% but I guess I love stuff like that & forget that the young ones today aren't as sentimental or like older style stuff. As I said I give you much respect because you did a beautiful job transforming the ring I just know I wish I had it because it was so gorgeous. Thank you for responding and having an adult conversation. Take care and stay blessed always. 😁❤

@@doriswashington9708oh my goodness of course!! Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts <3 it means the world

@rurusrings You're very welcome. I'm going to sub to you so I can see more of your work. Thanks again for the nice convo cuz so many on want to be offended by every lil thing & just argue. You're pretty cool. 😁❤

@@doriswashington9708you’re cooler😎

I’m so happy to hear that!! Thank you for watching and commenting 🫶

Thank you 🥰

Not as beautiful as you🫶

Oh my goodness that means the world to me!! <3

Absolutely!! Love finding more brothers and sisters in Christ 💕🥰

Preesh 🫶

Thank you so much!! I appreciate that and those kind words!! Thanks for watching as well <3

These were custom made but I’m thinking of making a listing for these!! If you’d like some made up for you dm me :)

Thank you so much💕I knew I had to go big with the stone and the sparkle from these pear shaped CZ were just too good to not use!!

Thank you!! Not as beautiful as you 🫶

Actually you're sadly mistaken, pearl IS in fact a June birthstone as well as alexandrite AND moonstone.....need I continue?

Actually it is! You can find this information from a quick google search and it is published on many accredited gemologist sites!! Many months have multiple birthstones, as June has pearl, alexandrite, & moonstone! Another example is December, including turquoise, tanzanite, zircon, & blue topaz! Thanks for the comment!

& you’re so sweet!! Thank you so very much 🥰🫶

Thank you for the recommendation!! I will definitely be doing this thank you🥰🫶

@@rurusringsyou are welcome! You are doing a good job, congratulations!

Thank you so much🥺💕

There is some type of bowl you can use for melting. I will message you

Thanks babe😘

Thank you so much 🥰🫶

I never realized how difficult it was to do but this definitely tested my patience lol. Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰🫶

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that<3

The wax is easy to kind of pick the stone out of. Just work slowly as the wax can also break. I use an exacto knife to dig in between the wax and metal and kinda use it as a lever to bring it out of the wax. Again work slowly and carefully cause you don’t want to accidentally break off the wax lol

So the wax ring or whatever it is you’re making is used as the mold. You put the item in sand or plaster to make the mold, as it shapes around the item you make, melt out the wax and then pour the metal in and you get the replica item made in metal

That part of the process I out source as I am unable to do so where I live. That’s what the caster does 🥰

@@rurusrings oh I am stupid did not think it through

I do!! It all just depends on exactly where you’re located and what you order which would determine the time frame but yes!!

I’ll make a video of the bare minimum tools needed for jewelry making soon as well as other tools that aren’t necessary but help tons!! From this video specifically my tools would include: (gold and diamond - there’s a range of jewelers sites, this diamond was a gift from a jeweler friend, the gold I ordered from Rio Grande which I believe they sell diamonds too) 14k gold solder, pumice block or charcoal block to solder on, micro torch, third arm, flux, jewelers tweezers, solder pick, hammer to flatten the melted gold ball, hand vise/pin vise for stone setting by hand, differing ball sizes burs up to the mm size of the diamond you’re using, beeswax for ball bur lubricant, rotary tool(if you have a proper one you should be able to stone set with it, I have a cheap one from harbor freight which allows me only to sand and polish with.) differing sanding bits, burnisher for stone setting, jewelers rouge and polishing wheel. A great website to shop jewelers tools is PEPE tools I have a discount code with them as well just use the link in bio and you get a discount code that pops up when you load into the link :) thanks for watching!!

There’s a range of jewelers sites but I’m almost certain they all require you to be wholesale or a registered business to order gold / diamonds. I get a lot of stuff from Rio grande though. If you have the tools and just not the gold or diamonds I’d recommend trying to find pieces on Facebook marketplace or thrifting some!! Then you can take the stones out and melt down the gold and have a fully recycled piece!! I wouldn’t recommend selling items like that unless the buyer is fully aware of that process though. I also would only do that if you’re fully confident in your ability to tell stones apart and metal. Most gold items have a hallmarking to say the karat and they have diamond testers on Amazon for cheap. Hope that helps!!

I use files from Harbor freight. They’re basic hand files with different shapes and sizes :) the thicker larger ones I received from a friend so I’m not quite sure what they’re called. I know some places sell jewelers saws specifically for wax carving

Thanks for watching Im glad you enjoyed <3

@ I make removable grillz, I’m incorporating your technique into my grillz making process.
