My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... - [Emily] I'm Emily Becher. I specialize in handcrafting bespoke wedding rings, engagement rings, and any other sorts of jewelry that you can think of. Today, we'll be making a bespoke men's wedding ring, custom-designed for a client who wants diamonds set into what I call the ripple texture wedding ring. First of all, we start by melting down the gold. This here is 18-karat yellow gold, and we'll be melting it into an ingot. So once we've melted the ingot, we'll forge it and then begins the process to roll it out into the shape that we want. The forging is really important to compact the crystal structure of the metal Because once we melted it, it is in an annealed state, it's really soft and the crystal structure is loose, but it's unevenly loose. So that's why we forge it before we work the metal any further. After forging the metal, it's really important to anneal it so that we've got a nice malleable piece of gold that can be worked through all the different stages to get it into the right proportions so that I can bend it up and turn it into the ring that it will become. So now I've got the proportions right for our material. It's time to bend it up into a ring shape. So I use a combination of the ring bender and pliers just to get the ring into the perfect shape. And then cut through the joint a couple of times, just to make sure that it marries up together. So we check that there's no space there by holding it up to light and seeing that no light filters down through the joint. And once there's no light coming through, you know, you've got a perfect tight joint ready to solder. Now we've got our ring looking much more like a ring, we'll solder the ins together. Well how this is done is we heat it up to a certain point and what will happen then is the solder will be drawn down through the joint and create a sub-alloy. Now that our ring is actually a solid ring, it's time to get rid of any excess solder that is on the exterior. So tidy that up a little bit and give it a tap to harden the joint, and then move on to just making sure that the ring itself is perfectly round. So I like to take my rings to a semi-finished state before actually texturing them. I feel it's important to have a nice even base. It just leaves a better finish overall at the end of the making of the ring. I file an emery the ring back almost to a polish prior to texturing over the top. So now we'll add that beautiful ripple texture and just make sure that it's even, I mean it's always going to be unique. Every ring that has this texture has its own hammer pattern that can never be repeated. Now that the inside of the ring is smooth, we can hallmark it. So the first step to go in will be my hallmark chisel AB in a little diamond type shape. And then next to that will be the metal final stamps. So that's 750 for 18 Karat. The third stamp, the Gold and Silversmiths Guild of Australia stamp means that it's been genuinely handcrafted in Australia. These stamps are also very handy for a valuer to be able to tell you how much your ring is worth and when it was made and by who. So they can be very helpful later down the track when your ring might get passed onto your children. So now we've got a ring that could be left in this state, and it's a beautiful ring, but we're going to add the diamonds in now. It's just gonna make it that extra little bit special. Add that little flair and really personalize this design for the client. So the ripple texture emulates the sort of sun reflecting off the waves of the ocean when you look across to the horizon. So the dimes will just add that little extra bit of sparkle to the concept and create something a little bit customized and unique to their aesthetic. So this is a design I've collaborated with the client to create, and it will be something that I'll likely use in the future. Originally, I started jewelry just as a hobby as a teenager. My grandmother passed down some pearls and we found out in the end, they weren't actually real pearls so mum let me turn them into a choker. And that sort of started my love of jewelry making, and I'd always turn to it in times of stress to get through. So at uni I did a little bit, and then I was a little bit sick for a while with chronic migraines and found that the jewelry-making was helpful to
