Making Your Own Silver Jewellery - How to Make and Solder A Silver Ring

This film shows you how Andrew Berry, a professional jeweller for nearly 30 years, makes a silver ring.

It sounds so simple, and in fact, it is simple BUT over the past 30 years Andrew has found tips and tricks on ensuring you get the right fitting ring every time in the fastest time possible. So saving you money!

This is mainly about preparation of the silver ring and the soldering of it.

My career in jewelry started with this video.

Worked an entire summer at a warehouse to save for a basic workshop, started learning with these videos. I did eventually enroll in my city’s jewelry school and went local.

But to anyone coming on this channel for the first time, intending to dip their toes into the world of jewelry making, you’re in the right place.

I just watched five of your videos and have learned more in your videos than in the many, many others I have watched combined. Thank you so much for explaining all the little details that a lot of others miss!! I feel much more confident now that it won't take me 5 attempts to make 1 piece!!

Brilliant video!! Thanks for posting. I am re-visiting my jewellery making after about 10 yrs. Your videos are helping a lot. Cheers.

Andrew, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your instructional videos. I just completed my very first silver soldered copper ring core and it came out great!! Your detailed instruction really helped in so many ways. I normally make bentwood rings, and sometimes some with metal cores and wood on the outside. Now I can make my own ring cores, as well as make rings without wood. I am so excited about the new world of possibilities before me!! Thank you so much!!

Andrew! I just looked up your video as I was frustrated with getting my ring sizes just right without having to file back . Yay!!!! For the first time using your method I got it perfect first go. A BIG BIG thank you for sharing so graciously. I’m very very grateful. Virtual hug 🤗 and best wishes to you and yours at this time.

Was anybody else sitting on the edge of their seat when he was doing the soldering

You have truly earned your mastery and it is so generously shared with us. I am both impressed and slightly overwhelmed at the idea of taking on the project I have in mind as an amateur. I have made one silver ring before and it was quite a task to get that perfect sense of the torch and timing to get the flux to flow just right and not overheat. It's a completely different game than the soldering of electrical components that seems easy in comparison. Certainly experience is the only remedy, but I don't want to waste time and material. I will be sure to absorb as much of this as I can! Thank you kindly 🙏

Thank you so much for a really helpful tutorial using real tools and talking like a real person. Seriously, the best way to learn right here!

[veronicaciecierska]

Your videos are slow but so great to learn! Jewelry making all about the tiniest details and I love that you make sure to cover everything and share your great knowledge. I don't want any other video tutorials, I will just keep watching your channel. :) Really happy I found it!

[martynm.]

You're obviously very talented and experienced. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge.

[marcosofsky]

well done, man! Excellent tutorials! Still waiting for some supplies to arrive, and your recommendations for tool brands are always helpful, it can make a great difference with budget constraints to purchase the superior tool the first time.

[jeannettesalazar]

Berri you are the best tutor and your tutorials are the best.thank 😊❤🎉

[allanthompson]

I printed out the resources charts and guides today, and laminated them, while the girls were out on their scooters. Very handy references. Thanks Andrew. Gem show this weekend own our way. Im hoping to get along if Zi is well enough, , and meet a few people.

I was trying to make my first ring and couldn't get the solder to melt for the life of me, I probably tried 8 times then I watched this video and on the first try with your technique it finally melted!!

[katzotti]

Excellent work, and helpful instructions! Thank you!

[larrymoremckenzie]

That's what i wanted to see, that little torch solder that ring! Thank You!

[s.magdaleno]

Andrew, thank you so much for your videos! This one with advice on how to make a ring is very very good. I've been making a "D" to form the ring for soldering, and then I would go nuts trying to get the. ends to match. Your method makes much more sense and it's going to save me lots of work. What a relief.
