Im curious if you engraved the design back onto it after all of that sanding and solder. Also i suggest cleaning the ring and dipping the entire ring into liquid flux to prevent blueing or burning. i learned that after seeing a ring burnt all over even under the stones. every crack and crevice and design was black and it doesn't just clean off. you've gotta sand it off or polish it off. sometimes pulling stones is the only way to get the seats clean of the burnt residue. just a suggestion as i noticed the finished rings design on the head still had some black in the holes.
No I didn't engrave it back sadly, two things I want to improve on are stone setting and engraving. as for cleaning the burn marks and crap of the ring, I've found as pickle acid bath does the trick. And whenever I'm repairing a ring with a stone I'll submerge the setting in water so the heat never really effects the setting nor the stone.
FunWithFire. easy enough. engraving is very tedious and you have to have your graver sharp as all get out. I've been a bench jeweler for 6 years now and I'm still learning little tricks here and there! We used to use pickle solution but we've since switched to anti oxidizing flux. It works sooo much better with coating the ring and stones. also it helps the solder flow so much smoother. less pits etc. we order from stueller and Gesswein.. if you haven't looked into their products you should!
This is a really helpful post ,just learning to work with gold and really scary how different the soldering technique is from sterling silver,,thank you.,it's more like welding than soldering,it looks like your bringing the gold NR melting point ,not sure what type of flux to use eather ,😬
Looks good, have you thought of making a casting of this ring? The band you have there is a bit thin. People don’t realise gold wears down and becomes thinner in time. Thanks for sharing this
Just some constructive criticism. As a jeweler I never polish over my workbench. It contaminates your filing. Ps try some swiss needle files instead of that huge file. Overall not a bad job.
Gold is such a cool substance to work with! l'm not a jeweller, but l sure love watching this kind of thing! There's just _something_ about gold, ain't there?
Hi mate thinking to repair a ring I bought for my partner a few years back when we first started to date... As a gesture like... I'm going to use this method... Are you using just solder or a special type...? And is the white stuff flux? Does the flux need to be used or can I just use solder...? Which would be the stronger and more durable out of the two given I am in correct in my analysis
Gr8 channel. Did you resolder the very big break off again on the bottom or top after doing the smaller section...what type of solder flux were you using? I've seen others drop their repairs into a boilng solution. What is the process called? I'm a Laser Welding technician where I repair Molds or Moulds. My power isn't enough on this highly reflective material..I wish to make two silver and gold rings, the setting is a 10mm Green MOSSANITE stone. One as a pronged ring. The other as a sealed in stone with burnisher. As a certified Toolmaker of 49 years experience. I'd like to make a ring. I know...do a ring course. With thanks, Mike
Porque no usa ácido bórico antes de soldar las piezas para evitar que se quemen(oxidasion) y después de soldar ponerlo un rato en otro ácido para quitarle lo poco que se halla quemado,porque alcanzo apreciar que las marcas del fabricante y el estampado del kilataje quedan de color negro,porque allí no alcanza a lijar ni a pulir,si hace esto que le sugiero se ahorra mucho trabajo
Hey...ik this might be alot to ask there is amlarge chance u won't read this but i have a ring that means the world to me ...my best friend smacked his head on it and broke it ....it was my great grandmothers it meant the world to my whole house and i wanted to ask if u could try and fix it?
Ripley no it needs to be able to melt the metal The solder has a lower melting point that the material which allows it to melt. The flux allows the solder to flow. I found that I could get the solder hot enough that it would turn into a ball but not melt and flow. You can use a butane torch like the chefs use for small jobs but its unreliable and can stuff up your work. I tried a few. Best to spend the money and buy a proper jewellers soldering torch. Cost me 350$ Australian it runs off a normal gas cylinder. Made life much easier and I often use the butane one for small jobs. There’s heaps of tutorials here on UA-cam. Good luck and be safe
Although some of these Jewelers are excellent I don't know why they can't work clean it's so much better for the gold and it won't fit trying to push dirt out later handy added time to clean up just take an extra 10 seconds to do it clean
before and after pictures at the end, why did you flip to the ring to show us the side you didn't wield it but instead the one that haven't. You don't want us to see the finished work ?
Restoration -" the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition"... this is a restoration XD, and my use of the emery drum was effective
@@natecharleswatches - Going over the entire piece with the sanding drum was a bad idea. A larger buffing wheel with rouge would have been less work, and created no scratches

I'm all for constructive feedback, will look at getting some in the future :)
Ron ~ lsn't 'jeweller' spelled with 2 Ls?
@@theresa42213 According to Cambridge's dictionary it's spelled both ways.
3:03 good stuff, but doesn’t sanding gold like that waste gold and make the piece lighter? that had to be .05 grams sanded off

Sir m also n jeweller n M posted this types of Videos too soo if u are interested then plz watch n Subscribe my channel 🙂🙂

Yeah its just solder, cant remember if its easy or medium. and yeah the white stuff is flux. I would defo use the flux

Looks like a massive size.. Great job!
Turned out to be a size V
Wonderful!! Can you please tel what grain do you use to polish? Do you use pickle at all?
I believe this was before I owned a pickle bath, can't remember the exact grains I used I'm afraid

Your job is great , but do u have any idea about those signs , i also have such ring thats why asking
Do you use gold too stick together this?
What’s that tool you use to take the stuff off the ring before you start polishing it
My bracelet broke today how long does this take to complete i want it as soon as possible
Hi dear M posted Video on bracelets restoration if u r interested then plz watch my Videos.🙂🙂
Can this be done with a name plate?
Hey...ik this might be alot to ask there is amlarge chance u won't read this but i have a ring that means the world to me ...my best friend smacked his head on it and broke it ....it was my great grandmothers it meant the world to my whole house and i wanted to ask if u could try and fix it?
Best to dm me on insta or Facebook. That way you can send pictures and I can see what needs to be done
Can you use a normal lighter?
No I very much doubt it
Ripley no it needs to be able to melt the metal

i'like this work .good job
What metal are you putting into the cracks?
gold solder
awesome fire
Although some of these Jewelers are excellent I don't know why they can't work clean it's so much better for the gold and it won't fit trying to push dirt out later handy added time to clean up just take an extra 10 seconds to do it clean
Shouldve redone the engraving after soldering but for a cheaper job it was well enough done. Good work
Hello sir.. gold polish machine how to purchase please Reply me
Seen this video on facebook. Can you tell me what the song in the background is please
What is the metal used to weld the ring of the ring?
It's a gold solder
M also n jeweller n M also posted Video..on how to fix breakable jewellery..so if u r interested then plz watch n Subscribe my channel 🙂🙂
Nice...very interesting 😊😊❤
Thank you :)
before and after pictures at the end, why did you flip to the ring to show us the side you didn't wield it but instead the one that haven't. You don't want us to see the finished work ?
Yep I saw that too. Why flip it? Maybe the join wasn’t that great
Did someone destroy that ring who gave it to you
Probably best to file the ring before straightening it.
Beautiful job
Thank you :)
Nice work !
Thanks man :)
May or may not broke my moms expensive ring-
Relax, I ain't gonna snitch on ya
الله يبارك
My ring broke like that but..
This is a repair video not a restoration. For a ring that is that old your emery drum use is irresponsible.

Почему ногти не стрижены ты что женщина???
В конце показана не сторона ремонта, по буквам определить не трудно.... dislake
Polishing out the detail because you are unable too or could not be bothered to re cut the engraving is not restoration
Lack of tooling, once I'm more kitted out and refined my engraving ability I'll be able to do so. sorry if this displeases you
I'm sorry,but-not nice job!!!
