Ring reproduction

This is the ring reproduction i had promised to show recently. Work like this is fun to do, because there is a lot to learn from the old goldsmiths sometimes. The ring i believe is nearly eighty years old. You can see it is heavy worn. Two stones are lost. The assignment is to rebuilt it - a little bit stronger than before. The new one is completely done by hand (no cast!). If you see a difference in color, please forgive me, i am a bad photographer. Both are fabricated in 14 karat rosé and white gold.

Hope you like it
Mario

Bonjour Mario,

je trouve cette bague magnifique et Bravo!

t'avais aussi fait les photos des etapes de fabrication?

j'aimerais bien les voir

Bonne journée

Hello Mario,

It is a perfect work, you have understand that it is better to use more metal for the new one.

Antiques pieces of jewelry are often to light.

I see on yours pictures that each pieces of this ring have a good thickness, your customer is surely very happy about this beautiful ( and strong ) new ring.

Thank you very much, Mario, when you send us some pictures like this, you give us a lot of energy.

Aly, ask to you, if it is possible to see pictures about steps to make this ring ?

Have a very good day.......

Why in 14 K ?....... I am sure you can make it in 18 K..........is it the order of the customer ?

Hello Aly, hello Michel!
Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry, but i didn't had the time to make some pictures between. Had to hurry a bit...

Yes, that is right.

Hello Mario,

Thank you for your answer......

It is not always easy to make pictures when we are at the benchwork.......question of time............the customer is waiting...

Next time...

Have a very good day.

P.S. I understand than people in Deutlalnd think 14 K is better.....

Hi Mario,

I'm new on this forum, and it takes time to explore all of its corners...
I just discovered your ring.
Great work I realy apreciate it!
Even the cleaning of the holes inside the ring! Man! Usually jewellers don't bother anymore with that kind of details.
Really good work.
Did you set the stones too?
How long did it takes to do it?
Where did you learn jewelry?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,

Ced

Hello Ced, it seems to me, there is a big advantage for you as you're speaking French also

Yes, stone-setting was done by me.
At all the ring took me 17 hours.
My apprenticeship i got here in Germany.

I visited your homepage and enjoyed the wonderful pieces you show there. Like 'em very much!
Regards, Mario.
