Great list of tools for beginners. I used to measure out my rings, but have found its so much easier just forming them to size on my ring mandrel. Hope to see what your next collection will be and hope to see more of your design drawings.

Hiya again Lady Stardust,
I've just watched it again, and I've come up with something that needs to be added to your list. Now I don't have one of these, although I did spend a fair amount on tools just last year, or was it the year before? See, I need one; what am I talking about? A working brain! I've not got one a lot of the time, so I need help from wonderful creators like yourself. Thank you for this and all the other fantastic videos helping us to work in this fascinating art form.
Stay safe, Steve xx

Basia...I am subscribed and used to get your videos all the time. It just stopped and the new named channel hasn't shown up at all. I thought maybe you weren't doing videos...Always enjoyed your videos !

This is really helpful! Do you have any tutorials on beginner methods or steps on making beginner pieces?

[Daintynine]

I see you have a new butane torch! Would love to see your review soon. 😄

[MistieRAWR]

Thank you for this great guide! It really inspires me to start silversmithing (I have only wire wrapped before!). I also adore the ring in your thumbnail! Would it be possible for me to buy one? I don't see it on your website.

[naama]

Thank you for another great video!! I have a question.. my ring mandrel and my steel block got rusty.. do you have any suggestions for how to clean them?

[Sara-byrl]

How did you get your bench peg to attach to your vice like that? I bought the exact same ones but can't figure it out. Thank you so much

That's why you should just make a ring... Buying a high-durability/high-quality material like Titanium($30/lb on high end to as low as $2/lb if bought in bulk) is a relatively cheap and effective material which only 0.6% of people are allergic to, making it a safe bet as well. It's not too difficult to resize later assuming you still have the cutting/welding equipment you used for the ring(maybe $1k for all the equipment if you buy a pretty high quality)... So an estimated final cost if you buy just a single pound of pure titanium, not including a forge or the investment cast mold for pouring the liquid titanium into in order to cast metal strips suitable for a ring(cheap to make/perform but takes a lot of time to actually do this all)... But assuming you buy everything at a relatively high-quality, you'd probably spend a max of $1500 + cost of choice material...

you're a real life Disney princess but way cooler

[chcężyć]

Hi, can you provide translation of your videos into Polish? In fact, in our Polish language, there are no videos on this subject that would explain what and how.
I greet and admire
P.S. I would love to do it but I can't afford it and YT is my only chance and I don't speak English.

Sami precious gems stone are available

Most of these equipement are very expensive. I understand that you are a testimonial.. but, think to people who needs to start with cheep equipement. Here in Italy some of the best jewelry maker I know use very BASIC materials.. most of all made by themselves.
