About Extreme Jewelry Makeover:
In this MGTV series (Yes, I'm spoofing HGTV), I recycle old jewelry and turn it into something new. Often jewelry just rots away in a dresser drawer or jewelry box. People outgrow the design. This series will cover the adventures and design exploration of making new creative jewelry pieces with existing materials.
Episode 1: "The Diamond Cluster"
In this episode, I use existing diamonds from 4 different pieces of jewelry and combine them into one diamond cluster engagement ring. Some of the original yellow gold is also melted down in the new casting. Fresh alloy is added to ensure a clean cast. Any leftover materials are returned to the client or traded in for recycle credit. - Навчання та стиль
Did you earn your basket of fries? I.O.U.
Yes
I'm glad to see you wore a respirator :)
Eggplant chips?
I'm waiting on them ;)
😞🤐
I’m not usually a cluster ring fan but that ring and the meaning behind it was SO BEAUTIFUL you did an amazing job
I’m the same way but this cluster ring was different than any I’ve ever seen before! Very modern and beautiful!!
Same. Not usually a huge fan of cluster rings but this is a fresh, modern take and combines stones from two families beautifully.
The asymmetry made it truly wonderful.
also how damn awesome is it that the couple gets to keep this video and see how their ring was made. when they pass this ring down to their kids they'll be able to show them this video. its a keepsake with so much sentimental value. being able to have their first reaction forever is absolutely amazing... like they actually got to see the gold from both sides of their families becoming one with their own eyes... whats more symbolic, romantic and meaningful than that?! nothing lol the symbolism of being able to witness a marriage of the metals is just phenomenal... its perfect.
Those kids will sell it for crack
And then the kids can decide that this ring looks "too old fashioned" and have it made into something else 😂
Ikr?? That’s what I was thinking. Each time the ring is passed down, it comes with this video 💜💜
@@phantomkate6that’s why you give it to the kids with common sense lol
I would never have thought about recycling jewellery like this but, yeah, totally the most sustainable way to get a new piece of jewellery!
Its really great! Last year i was able to do something similar, i had a few broken pieces and worked with a goldsmith to design a ring. Super nice to see old pieces reused and come back to life
@@goharmartirosyan15 so cool! This is giving me ideas on old jewelry I have that is outdated
One of best friends has been having jewelry made like this for decades. I love Edwardian ring settings, that is a line I would not cross, ha ha ha.
You should change your channel name to “Wholesome Goldsmith”
lol but seriously I loved this!
Love that we got to see the reaction of the couple, what an wonderful memory you have created for them.
who would have known that I would cry someday over such wholesome goldsmithery 😭💕
Ha ha ha , I speak gibberish too!
That goofy smile after the like and subscribe joke 😂😂
This is so much more chic looking than the typical “all in one circular clump” style of some cluster rings.
I would love to see a behind the design where you share how you come up with ring designs!
Yes, good idea)
The non-radially symmetric design is really interesting and beautiful.
It bothers me. But, not my ring
I LOVE UR CONTENT IM HERE TO STAY!
the viewers really said
"everybody liked that"
Lol I checked the like to dislike ratio after reading this.... 😲 wow. That is impressive 👏
brb sobbing into my basket of fries, this was beautiful!
I love the idea of melting down jewelry we inherited and making something new. I’d like to do this for my son’s.
This ring is a masterpiece!!! What a tremendous transformation!!
It’s gorgeous. Awesome job! My fave part was the fishing mostly because it’s the only part I understood 😅
I love your self-deprecating sense of humour! 😂♥️
New goldsmith video?? Yessss
Love your channel! I’d gladly watch 15-20 minutes of content each time - I appreciate seeing the step-by-step detail of your work.
** chefs kiss ** this channel is perfection. Well done, sir. Well done.
You are so talented. I said on another one of your videos, how much I love jewelry & that my daughter is a manager for a big store so I myself have had her recycle a few pieces. My husband bought me a 1 carat Eternity Circle necklace for Christmas & when my Mom passed away, I took one of her engagement rings & had them cut the diamond setting & it was a very old ring so it was enclosed & they added the bell to hang so it is a beautiful center diamond inside my circle so I have a touch of my parents always with me for Eternity. ❤🙏 Watching you kinda reminded me of my late Grandfather. He was a very talented blacksmith & I can still smell that distinct smell of placing hot iron in the big water baths. Making a beautiful piece that has a history and meaning to it, is what makes jewelry so special & precious to each individual. ❤
You owe me that basket of fries since the Ariana Grande video!!! I'm here to stay, love this new ring and how both families were represented in it!
So Jordan, you realize now that you have to go on tour, delivering fries across your entire viewing area, RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!? Feel free to stop in Virginia first! 😉
I loved watching you cast this ring. It took me back to high school when I had a jewelry class and that's how we were taught to make rings. What a beautiful ring you created.
The ring was no doubt STUNNING!!!
I bet your job is very stressful but it does pay off when you see the glow on your customers' face.
I have conflicted feelings! On the other hand that many diamonds seem like such an overkill - but they are all from heirloom pieces and recycled! In the end i really love it!
Love.
I'm not usually a fan of cluster rings, especially if they are made up of round stones, but I actually love how this turned out! What an awesomely unique piece of jewelry with an even more awesome creation story! Love!!💖💍
I love the idea of merging two families together with jewelry, precious. Thanks for sharing your skills!
This ring was gorgeous and the music WAS PERFECT.
It's beautiful! I've never thought such a ring would be my style but just seeing all the meaning behind it and the love you put into making it, it turned out to be so gorgeous and makes me think I might consider a ring like this one day!
I cannot love this enough 🥺🥺 I have an immense interest in gemology and metallurgy for over 13 years now and adore your videos 🥰💎💎💎💎
I've literally never seen a cluster ring I liked. This is gorgeous!! And I ADORE the sentiment behind it. So precious.
Love your style and love your vibe!!
Jordan. This is awesome. Look at you. Just, look at you. From the good ol' days of polishing rings on the other side of the window at the Kitsap mall, to a UA-cam sensation. Congrats! You did it, you schmee!
Hahahahaha you’re one of the only people that saw me at the true beginning. Good times 😁😁😁
Love seeing the customers reaction, hope to see an episode two for sure👍
I so love seeing the mix of modern and old tech. The industry progresses but there are just some steps that are so “antiquated” and so tactile. I just love it!
How cool is THAT! Never imagined a 3D printer for jewelry casting, but that’s perfect! I learned a bit of lost wax casting and carving skills decades ago, and never imagined how technology could make this process so much more detailed. Awesome!
Amazing! Reusing old jewelry is so meaningful.
I can’t watch you, keep crying.... beautiful work
I love the ring! You’re brilliant!
I have a ring made of the engagement rings of the women in my family. The original settings were typical, but the bands were large & almost warm through. We took everything to a small jeweler & asked him to put them together. He did a wonderful job. It’s a beautiful ring & I wear it often. Wish I could share a pic with you.
The ariana video may have been viral, but YOU, your craft, your personality, your content is what created an audience and a community. Loved every video you've made. You're bringing a little bit of sparkle (pun intended) to peoples lives when it is needed most.
You have completely changed my mind about melting down and recycling old jewellery. It is fabulous!!! That particular ring is just stunning.
I love the idea of recycling jewelry!! Definitely carries some more meaning and is a more sustainable way
Man this channel is so cool. You only have a few true youtube videos but I've already got a really clear view of your style, it's so calming without being slow or boring. I get to look at pretty rings and listen to you talk about something your passionate about all the while the atmosphere stays chill and entertaining. I hope the youtube gods are kind to you and your videos, you deserve it :)
Loved the idea! It may be obvious for someone working in this field, but for me it gave a whole other meaning to the jewelry.
OMG that pearl ring with the 1mm band on your website is perfection.
I loved the HGTV style ring makeover! You got the perfect music for the reveal haha😂
A moment of silence for the bypass ring that got melted down (they're my favorite ring style)
While I'm not a cluster ring fan, this one was really pretty... I think the story made it very sentimental for those involved and it'll be treasured for many years to come. Great work!!
I would definitely say YES a million times. The craftmanship is 👌🏼
My fiance and I both love our ring. Thank you so much! Love the video!
Jordan you did such a wonderful wonderful job!! We are so happy with the ring. You made the whole process so seamless for us and the end product is a ring we can pass down forever! You will always be apart of our journey together and we can’t thank you enough! :)
As a fellow jeweller I understand that feeling where you hold your breath and wait for the reaction.... well done on the ring mate!
Cool trick I discovered! If you take the rubber investment-mixing bowl; They usually fit overtop of the magnetic tumbler and really cuts down on the noise. Gotta save your hearing if you’re working around loud noises often. Great work.
Great use of a client's stones! It is always a difficult job to take a bunch of odd ball stones and make them into a modern piece of jewelry. I love how this ring came out!
Oh my gosh. What a beautiful and loving testimony to you and your wife. God bless y'all with many more memories and years to come.
Hi Jordan! Sooo glad I found your channel! I spent 40+ years designing and selling high end jewelry, old school drafted cartoons hand colored with gouache. I never did bench work, but loved working with the craftsmen, cutters, mold makers, etc. Each craft is an art unto itself. What I love beyond anything is making something unique that thrills the wearer and the person who gives it to them. Beautiful work!
This was by far the coolest thing I have seen on UA-cam in quite some time. Awesome job!
That ring is gorgeous. You are a true craftsman for sure.
You are the best I love your videos. Every time I'm bored of doing stuff I hop on my iPad and watch you thank you for making these videos.😊😊😊😊❤
The tools are so much cooler now than they were in my ‘70s high school jewelry classes. Molds shattering in the spinner was so sad and 3D printers were only a dream.
What an absolute beautiful ring! And I love the sentiment behind it
Yeah! I got my notification!
I very much enjoy your video’s!
I came for the knowledge, I stayed for your awesome personality ... and that VOICE (if I gave you the title, would you read/record a couple of chapters each day?) ‼️
If I could, I would quit my j no ob, attend a 3-4 yr course, then do volunteer work as your flunky.....ALL for the love of it (aka “Creativity On Steroids”).
Again, thank you! Keep it up😃
WOW! Things have sure changed since I did this back in the 60's. Bravo!!! Loved this!
Anxiety and making jewellery doesn't mix! You're brilliant 😀 and people should be so grateful to be able to afford even the smallest piece of your work! I went once to a hotel, where there was no menu to choose your meal from as they assumed everyone has to be grateful to be there and eat what's served! It was a long time ago and people never complained!
Similarly, people should accept that everything you make for them is in the best possible taste and it's made to last.
So, knowing how good you're, relax and be sure that everyone will be thrilled with the result.
Because you really are that good! 🤗♥️
Beautiful! Cannot wait for more in this series. My husband and I used the stones and gold from three family rings for my engagement ring and designed it with our jeweler. It is so deeply meaningful to wear something from my family members who are no longer with us and remember them every time I see my ring on my hand. ❤️
What a sustainable, and meaningful new-old engagement ring.
Omg that is such a beautiful ring. And what a heartwarming end 🥰
hooooolllllyyyyyy fck that's gorgeous!!!!! my mom had her wedding ring cut off last time she was on life support. Ive shown her all your vids and shes so excited that its even possible to have it fixed in general. she has Multiple Sclerosis and is quadriplegic so she's not able to wear it but wants to get it remade for my daughter. My dad committed suicide 15 yrs ago right before their 26th wedding anniversary and I just wanted to say thank you for giving her hope and an idea on what to do. she now wants to combine their wedding rings together like you've done here and surprise my daughter with it on her 16th birthday next year. whenever we get the funds and idea of exactly what she wants together I know who we can trust to do it now. Pls never stop making these videos. just the relief of knowing something great can come from something tragic and its not just lost is indescribable. thank you!
I apologize for my f bomb lol I couldn't help it... 😅
You curated something wonderful from those old pieces that easily could have ended up sold for scrap. I watched the whole process and am still amazed. I am impressed. Hope you feel proud of what you achieved.
What a beautiful way to bring 2 family's together ! The ring is gorgeous 🥰
I'm looking forward to more of these episodes!
Everything about this video was so wholesome. And the ring was beautiful!
That was sooo beautiful 😍 And seeing their reaction to the ring was everything 🥰😍
Wow, beautiful ring, so interesting watching your work👌🏼
Yay you're wearing a mask during mixing!!
Thought the same thing! Much better than holding his breath. Lol
Wow, it turned out beautiful!
Wow. People need to see just what is involved when they get jewelry made, or remade into a new piece. Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks for including their reaction! It’s gorgeous!
I love that ring! It is so unique yet classic and classy at the same time. Lucky bride 🙂.
Thanks for showing us how you create new pieces from old. So informative!
That's really cool, new jewelry add more uses the one
What a gorgeous piece! You do beautiful work.
Such a beautiful ring! I’m so glad youtube recommended your channel to me! I am loving your content even though last year I got engaged and married so already have my rings. It is really fascinating the whole process and what goes into making rings.
Beautiful. The ring, and the sentiment behind it ❤️
Its about time! Long awaited video! 💎🎁💝👨🏼
This is lovely. I love asymmetrical clusters. We turned my mother's old 25 year anniversary ring from my father into a cluster piece reworked and its very meaningful. Your work turned out just perfectly. So fun to watch
How often do you find you have to re-do things when it comes to casting? Is it like a 1 in 5 kinda deal?
I think it’s should very seldom)
Depends- if the investment powder is old, or the vacuum process is off, or the burnout process is rushed, or you cast at too high or low a temperature, or you do a bad pour of raw material then you start over. He is working with modern equipment so as long as he does his math calculations correctly and mounts his wax model firmly he should hit a good cast well over 90% of the time.
@@damaris1393 Wow that's a lot of variables! Just seeing the process makes me really appreciate how much of an art and a science Jewellery making really is.
Beautiful! How special for them to have a lovely ring that also has family history with it but featuring a modern take!
I’ve had enough incomplete castings that I feel stress even when watching the melted metal go into the mold on video. The final ring looks awesome! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely stunning!
So BEAUTIFUL!!! And truly amazing!!!!
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful! I love this, very sustainable and a unique modern piece that will actually get worn.
Outstanding design !
That was a sweet story. Great idea to take all those diamonds and put them into one pretty setting. It turned out just beautiful. I can see why the couple was so thrilled. Good style, beautiful settings.
Absolutely stunning artwork!!
This video made me cry. So glad I found you through the viral video to get to your real content! It is even better.
The design, the concept (merging stones from both families), the recycling aspect, and your incredible craftsmanship make this a very special piece, indeed. Well Done.
This is so cool! I designed my wedding band with diamonds from my maternal grandmother's earrings, my promise ring, my Mom's wedding set and my gold class ring plus the gold combining all components. I love it still. An homage to Art Deco, my favorite. I'm also a sucker for migraine work. 💜💕💚
Oh that turned out so beautifully!!!
Absolutely stunning!!!!! Excited for what you do next!
