You gotta thank the universe for Soham. Just typed 'crystal cap' in and breathed a sigh of relief when Soham showed up. He's just the best. The soothing voice is an added bonus.
I can't thank you enough for sharing this tutorial with us. I work in metal and wire and I have been wanted to put caps on crystals. Thank you so much!
Soham, I know all the steps but i was missing the last one ... putting the cap and pushing the ends tightly on the stone. U r an added value to me. Thx a lot
Thank you Mr Soham Harrison. I 've looking for a tutorial for some rocks which need that same type of bail. You are a real gift from the universe and from God!
This is a great video. My sister and I made a cap for my brothers Elk Ivory's that he brought home from a hunt up north. He was very proud of them. We made it them in copper, so we used Epoxy instead of pushing down the edges, as copper is a little stiffer than fine silver. I put them on a braided leather choker and he was pleased. I wanted to let you know Soham, that I learn so much from your video's. I have taught myself silversmithing, enameling, etc., from on-line resources like this. I know that you also taught yourself from books and I know you would have loved video to help you. So thank-you for taking the time to do all of these great educational videos, and passing on your knowledge to all of us. It is very much appreciated.
Love your voice. I want to send you my stones for you to work with. I don’t have the patience. I can hear your passion. ❤️ Thank you for this lovely video.
Saludos desde Ecuador Mr. Soham muy bonitos y practicos sus videos, por favor si puede suba un video como esmaltar medallones y dijes, le agradezco saludos
Better than my art teacher in my college class with explaining and the visual learning is much easier to see in this video than in a class full of people and u can’t see close enough during the lesson.
Great video Soham! thank you so much for all your videos!. Ive seen alot of these style pendants where the cap consists of just a very thin layer of silver that looks like it have been melted around the crystal? some kind of silver leaf flake sheets? Anyone knows what people use to make that? (im not talking about lostwax casted dripped settings´)
Just watched for the second time. You make it look so easy. When I started working with metal, I said I would never be interested in stone setting because it looked way too difficult. I'm now ready to try this project and bezel making. Thanks so much for the great information. I have one question - what is your trick to sawing so quickly. It talkes me forever to cut out a small piece so I usually use my shears.
First of all I would like to thank you for the videos that you share with us. I would like to know where to find that kind of file (?) that you make reference as "Flat # 2 cut hand pile" Or I am not hearing correctly! Thank you so much!
Where can i buy pre made caps like yours? Ive been looking for several years online and had no luck other than cheap crap from china. I have the capability to trim the crystals to get a proper fit but to make a cap by hand? It will take a month to sundays. Id rather buy several sizes and go from there. Please help me! ☹😫
Heya gem/metal community! I'm looking to set a raw stone like this with a metal setting into the end of a wood wand instead of a pendant or ring. I don't know very much about metal settings as I'm just beginning to explore it. What kind of direction from here could I go with learning more? This video is in the direction I'd like to go but I'm curious about mounting that to a wood handle.
lovely, im thinkin of applying the same technique to finish the ends of a wire bangle im going , to make, that's why I asked you about the balls, this will do the job better me thinks, thanks
I would like to send you a bunch of quartz to be capped let me know if you would be interested in some work. :) I want to learn myself but I don’t have the tools !!!
i saw one recently that was painted with copper paint then soft solder was flowed on to it. these days they coat the top with copper paint then electroplate the silver on.

I enjoyed the video. I was wonder if one could solder the bail on the cap before capping the crystal...?
You are awesome I love your videos !
Such a great video thank you for sharing!

nothing wrong with shears if you file after
Wow amazing you really have skill and knowledge
What is the bail width and is there a part two of this where you make the bail? Please let me know it’s much appreciated.
What type of torch do you use? I've been looking for one but I don't know which one to use.
The prongs from last tutorial worked great, on my freeform ruby.
I have a scissor cut stone but I am floundering. Any chance of a lesson?

How would you secure the bezel to the stone if it didn't have the proper taper?
two part epoxy
soham harrison thanks. Great videos.
Can we use brass rather than silver?
i had to see this video again, great work! training my brain!
What the silver called again? Would I be able to find it in gold?

Curious as it sounds interesting.
Do you do commisions?
I so agree.

Any idea what the thickest silver I can use is and still be able to push over the crystal?
i would guess 1mm fine silver
What type of bezel wire is that? Where can I buy some?
it is .5 thick sheet (24ga) that i cut with a bench shear
Thank you so much for answering. Do you know where I can purchase the materials?
riogrande.com
