90 year old Signet Ring gets revitalized

This signet ring has been in Jordan’s family for over 90 years and the bottom part of the ring came to me barely hanging on by a thread. To prepare the ring for future generations I replaced the entire bottom half of the ring with a brand new gold shank. Watch as I go through the step-by-step process of adapting this new addition onto the original ring while still maintaining its distinguished and aged look.

I love that all crafters have a relevant scrap pile. Cardboard? Worbla? Gold? Electronics? Leather? Yarn? We're all of course different in how much we value our scraps, and at what point we allow it to just be waste, but it's kind of nice to see that we're all the same in that we keep a scrap pile. Even writers with a folder or shoebox full of bad ideas, cut sections, plot points that went nowhere.

And yes I used my thumb nail as the thumbnail. 😎

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE A JEWELLER REPAIR THE BACK OF A RING AND IT DOE'S NOT SHOW, YOU DID A GOOD JOB....👍.

I had a jeweler put my father’s ring back together for me and he made it stronger. I still have it to this day and when I go and meet my maker and my family, it’ll go to my son.

my signet ring was so old and thin it snapped a while back
it's been passed down maybe 5 or more generations
have'nt heard back from the store in 2 weeks about how much it'll be to fix it so thanks for reminding me that i should call them tomorrow
also really great work!

It’s actually quite beautiful and poetic for some old “scrap” gold, that has its own history, to be added to another loved memory of history. The blending of two histories & now several metal smiths coming together 💛

Really glad you didn't desaturated the before, the post looks really nice ^-^

Repairing or reconditioning a family heirloom is my favorite work as a jeweler. I'm deeply touched every time a family trusts me with something so precious. ❤ Wonderful work.

Beautiful job! I have my Father’s 1942 all gold class ring.❤❤

It might be a good idea to also make a mold of the ring while you are at it, in case of loss.

Just a gorgeous fixer-upper!! You magically make tiny scratches and scrapes be part of the óverall finished look. I love your work 🎉

[Pilgrimm]

Beautiful job! Intelligent, creative, thoughtful, and worthy of one pat on the back!! 👍👏

[umbreoneyes]

Pieces with personal history like this are worth more than all the diamonds and gold in the world. Thank you for helping preserve part of this earth’s and humans’ beautiful story and planet.

Every once in a while you'll come across my page and every time it's a video with "maintaining the history" of the Ring's scratches and wears. I'm glad you do your best to restore the ring without taking out its history😊

Jordan had the right idea keeping all the wear and tear! I think that's a very cool and sentimental thing to do.
