  • G’day yea, I hope you’re all well! In this video we’ll be making a 60th birthday present in the form of a 9 karat gold ring set with Andamooka matrix. The gold is scrap and is melted down to take on its new form, a size ‘S’ gold ring with bezel set matrix opal. Also included in this video, a Blue tongue lizard feed, and a couple of updates. I hope you enjoy, thanks for your time. 🤪👍

    Beautiful ring! Loved seeing your little reptile friend. He was a bit suspicious but eventually gave into his sweet tooth.

    another very nice demo Phil, a stone is only a stone until a craftsman creates an adornment to display the centerpiece

    The lizard was adorable. I was surprised when I saw the little blue tongue. I've never seen little white strawberries either. Fascinating watching you melt the scrap gold into that beautiful ring. I really enjoy watching you work.

    I made a shallow silver cup about 8 years ago. That's when I realized that I would never be a jeweler. You did a great job with the gold - and with the lizard~~

    Amazing work as always Phil.
    I love opals but am not a fan of many of the "Opal Cutter's" channels.
    You bring something different, enjoyable, comprehensive and unique.
    Plus your giggle and ability to laugh at yourself are priceless entertainment. Big Hugs 🤘🖤❤️🇦🇺🤘

    Very nice. You forgot to stamp the setting and maybe an open back would be good if they do those for treated Andamooka ?

    • @theopalmills
      @theopalmills  9 місяців тому

      G’day mate, first time with 9k gold and I don’t have the stamp, I prefer 18k gold. 🤪👍

    Hay brother I think I have a nice piece of matrix what temperature is the best to treat? And can you treat before cutting and polishing?

    • @theopalmills
      @theopalmills  6 місяців тому

      G’day mate, I cook mine in a slow cooker on high for the sugar, then fluctuate between high and low for the acid. You can treat at any stage you’d like to. 🤪👍
