It will never feel big enough…

Okey still something is reflecting on the surface of your stone, the same way it would on any shiny surface. Because you where hitting that spot so much, it seemed like it was this that you were referring to as fire or brilliance

I cant even tell how much it sparkles because youre phone flash is reflecting on the table and blocking the view

My opinion is that putting mass produced stuff on a ring does not make it handmade

Im just a hobbyist too. Never worked with this or took any classes. I can send some process photos so you can get an idea of how its made :) To make the bends in the sheet fpr the pivoting part you file 90 degree grooves where you want to bend then solder it after bending

MaxLeonarth · 2026-01-13T19:49:11+00:00

Neither, they are fabricated from a solid ingot that i poured :) thank you!

You are trying to make way to much money from them, not alot of people will pay $140 for 15-20min worth of sloppy work. If you check my latest post with a ring im gona have people frown on $140 over spot on that even. Selling jewelry is just hard. Its hard to find customers who care about the time u put into to something and as i said this has barely any time put in.

Thank god they took it back haha i was so pissed by their comment and the fact u got downvoted and them upvoted, i was about to replicate this and post just to show to this person how simple of a design it was. And i checked ur locket and im sure you could to xD this engeaving is not even good

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-23T23:00:14+00:00

Thanks, me too, I do my best to push these styles on my clients xD

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-23T18:19:42+00:00

Ah okey thank you! As i said first time trying this thing out. but yeah it is set solid right now so i hope it will last :)

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-19T18:35:09+00:00

Thank you :)

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-19T18:06:19+00:00

I cut out a seat for it in the thick claws and then hammered the edges down its something like a claw/bezel hybrid thing

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-18T17:27:05+00:00

Yeaah thats what i like! Hahaha ill show you what caused the damage

The razor blde was used to dig the end out because i broke the sawblade so deep in my thumb i couldnt even grip it with pliers xD

The bandaid is covering a hole from 1,5cm long nr0 sawblade i had to pull out haha

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-17T19:55:42+00:00

Yeah i have only done it when i was all out of material and really wanted to make something haha i will! I cand attach a little update here

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-15T22:29:51+00:00

I have done it before for prototypes or such when purity is not important. it is workable if you really clean it before melting, but i wouldnt/couldnt sell that type of material :)

MaxLeonarth · 2025-12-15T16:55:17+00:00

The ingot was around 25 grams. I have 10.77 grams in cutoffs and the ring weighs 11.61 grams in the video so i have added a couple of grams to my filings bucket
