  • I fixed a ring that was chewed up by a lovable dog. When all other jewelers said no to the repair, I had to see what could be done to save this piece of sentimental jewelry.

    3:52 the random gem and hunks of gold in the crack on the lower part of the screen were probably a nice bonus find for you, lol.

    Just so you know (perhaps someone has already commented), I think there might be a rogue stone wedged between your wooden working block and its mount. Wouldn't want that to get lost if it's actually a stone!

    You know as horrible as this is, it’s both amazing that you could even restore it and a fun story to tell. The changes from the original ring is part of that story and I believe to be a beautiful thing. Amazing work, truly.

    I like how it now looks more woodsy, like twigs holding up the cluster. It's a very unique piece now with a great story attached to it. So well done, you really are a master of this craft.

    I love how he modelled it on his own finger, for some reason seeing such a delicate ring on a masculine hairy finger was just perfect. That gave me a good chuckle.

    Awesome video! You never really know what you're getting into when you start a repair like that, so it's great to see someone committing and getting the job done :)
    I work for a big company and just yesterday I was looking at a ring that a customer is claiming "just broke" in the exact same way it was broken three months ago and they're trying to claim it as a warranty job. People don't realize that a piece of jewellery tells me the whole story and I can clearly see the ring was strongly knocked on the main setting which caused the shoulders and the under rail to shift and crack. The whole thing is just bent out of shape and every stone is loose, which doesn't just happen 😅

  • @lindajanke6194
    @lindajanke6194 Рік тому +3

    Bravo! Great job that must have been very satisfying. I once spent 20 hours rounding out a filigree bead that was a drop on my aunt's favorite earrings. It had a confrontation with her vacuum cleaner. I'm strictly an amateur but no jeweler thought it was worth their trouble. One can't properly appreciate what it takes to work in those tiny spaces unless you have done it. I used, among other things, a nail set to round it out. When it was finished, only I could tell one from the other. Keep up the great work!

    Great work and fine restoration. Keep that ring away from dog’s access! My cat once swatted at a bracelet I was wearing and pulled the clasp open, separating it from the link. Had to put it away til I could get repaired years later. After that I only wear it occasionally and keep it in a drawer for preservation. Thanks for video. 👍💕 my 🐈

    Really well done. Do you think you could've gotten the outer pathways more rounded out if you made a faintly bulbous wedge, put it in between the pathways and hammered the pathway? Or would that possibly strain the gems to breaking point?
    Sorry if my description is not really clear, I had to use google translate.

  • @writerspen010
    @writerspen010 Рік тому +5

    Once again, you've worked your magic! You make it seem so, mm, not easy per say, but definitely doable; watching this makes me wonder why customers like them would get turned away elsewhere, but logically I know that just speaks to your skills as a jeweler =) Jewelry is definitely sentimental, and I'm so glad you were able to save her ring! I grew up with dogs and never had problems like this.--The worst I ever experienced was a puppy who chewed on my of my flip flops while in a teething phase, but that's it. We solved the problem by giving her an old pair of sneakers nobody used anymore lol I'm sadly amused that this problem has happened to you and your customers multiple times ^.^"
    BTW, I know a couple of others have pointed this out, but you have a rogue diamond on your wooden work stand where you fixed the split shank. Not sure if that came from this particular ring, but just an FYI to you.

    I love the tool you were using, that impacts at high frequency, to set the stones. May I ask, what is this tool called, and what is name of the maker of the tool? Also, I am wondering, could this tool have been used to repair the split-shank?
