From fork to wedding ring with diamonds - Mokume Gane
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 гру 2021
- In my videos I try to avoid repetition and I already had Mokume Gane as a topic. But the field of layered metals is so diverse that it can be picked up again without getting boring (at least I hope so).
With or without stones, etched or not, subtle in color or blackened with potassium sulphide - that's exactly how we work here in the goldsmith's: we experiment. This is not always empirical, but these are field tests, the results of which appear to be more or less successful individually. There is often no concrete picture in the head in advance, which is trying to achieve. That happens sometimes, but dense designs sometimes arise through trail and error. The secret is not to miss the point of best design. Because: There is always a better way, but you quickly make the work worse and waste your time. The goal in the workshop is to achieve this balance. But what always has to be right is the quality of the craftsmanship of the work carried out.
The special thing about the Mokume Gane rings that are being made today, and that's where they differ from the rings I've already made a video of: These are made of solid material, i.e. without inner rings. They are seamless, i.e. made from one piece and ... they are not forged but pressed. Then the rings are electrochemically etched. They consist of a silver bar and an old fork. So they are made of pure silver and a silver alloy. The color difference between the two metals is small and only becomes visible after heat treatment. However, since this wears off in everyday life through pressure polishing, I decide to etch the surfaces. Etching also has the advantage that the fork's hard 800 on top protects the soft fine silver. Then I added a few diamonds and at the very end let's see how much potassium sulfide can change our rings.
With this in mind: Thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, stay healthy and... curious!
I hope you enjoy the video

Toll erklärt. Und das sind wirklich ganz besondere Ringe.
Vielen Dank
This is really good. Very informative, done by a professional goldsmith with a great result.
Mal wieder toll!
Ich bewundere dieses Handwerk ungemein!
Klasse Arbeit, selten etwas vergleichbares gesehen. Super Job. Gerne mehr 😍
super, bravo !!!
Wow! I really like the way these rings turned out 👍
Ich könnte mir so einen Ring auch als einzelnen Nicht-Ehering vorstellen. Wunderschön! Vor allem, dass sie fugenlos sind, gefällt mir ungeheuer. Ganz herzliche Grüße
Ähnliche Ringe habe ich in der Tat schon "für solo" gebaut, geht auf jeden Fall 👍👍Viele Grüße
Sie sind Beste!!!!
Hallo, mein ganzer Respekt vor der Arbeit, das ist schon feine Handwerkskunst. Ebenso für das Video mit der sehr detaillierten Beschreibung. Da bekommt ein Außenstehender mal einen kleinen Eindruck welcher Aufwand, welches handwerkliche Geschick und welche Arbeitsgänge notwendig sind. Echt Super. Herzliche Grüße
Vielen Dank 👍
🤗 Hola . Eres un maestro 💪👏 y por eso me Boí a suscribir.👏🙋
I admit I was surprised.. Mokume gane made of silver of different samples. Thumbs up for ingenuity.👍
The difference wasn't very clear at first, but after etching and blackening it became clear.
Fachmännische Arbeit👌👍👍👍
Vielen Dank!
very unique and beautiful rings and thanks for sharing the process details.
Thank you, Elvin!
Guten Tag,,ein super Vorstellung, jedoch möchte ich wissen, wie destilliertes Wasser, fett lösen kann? Gruß Andreas
Hallo Andreas, ja, das wäre schön 😊 Aber es wird ja mit dem Bimsmehl und dem Wasser durch den Abrieb nicht nur Fett, sondern alles, was an der Oberfläche haften kann, entfernt. Viele Grüße aus Kroatien und einen guten Rutsch
What rap song is playing in the background? if you can tell me thank you very much. very good video exele you
I got the songs from epidemic sound... hope that help!?

Also wenn du wirklich selber auch die Musik hörst kann ich nur sagen du bist Kai Pflaume in 10 Mal cooler . Wenn nicht hast du nen guten Cutter. Tolle Stimme . Angenehm.
Ernsthaft, Pflaume? Ich nehm` das mal als Kompliment 🤘 Danke
Nee, keinen Cutter, its a one-man-show
Can you give me a formula to calculate how much to cut inside the bar to get a certain size? for example 18 size
With a ring inner diameter of 18mm, the ring circumference is 56.52mm (18 x Pi = 56.52).
Now divide 56.52 by 2 and you get the distance you need to saw, in this case approx. 28.26mm. Good luck and please let us know if you have any questions
@@B.A.Mansholt Thanks alot!
