Amazing Old Jewellers Trick of the Trade

Check out the new Diamond Mounter merch!
https://cbilton.creator-spring.com A technique for stopping solder joins re melting when you need to make a new join very close to one.
This is a very useful technique which allows you to solder next to hallmarks, brand stamps and engraving with no risk of flooding solder in to them and accidently erasing them!
People wear their jewellery, especially wedding rings for many decades. As people become elderly its common for their knuckles to enlarge and so as a jeweller you will regularly be resizing rings. Its likely they will have hand engraving around the inside that has tremendous sentimental value to the customer. You cant NOT damage it!

This technique was taught to me right at the start of my apprenticeship. The man who taught me was called Roy Woolford. He was an engraver who also did a bit of jewellery. He was at the end of his career having worked at the firm for 50 years!
I have not used it many times in my career but trying it here on video it worked so well im beginning to think I should use it more often from now on.

Check out the new Diamond Mounter side channel!
Its called 'Diamond Mounter Clips'
Its compiled of short clips taken from previous videos to
highlight useful techniques and information I was teaching.
No intros, no outros just straight to the essence of what
was useful in the video!

I am now on Patreon!

With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops.

Become a classic patron you will not only be able to view part 2 of full instructional guides but also be thanked personally on the next youtube upload! You will also have access to all future uploads 2 weeks before they go live on youtube.
Official patrons have all the benefits of a classic patron but also gain access to regular exclusive content. Behind the scenes, personal jewellery projects Im working on, I share ideas for future videos, photos and stories from throughout my career as a professional jeweller.
Also Official patrons are welcome to suggest ideas for future videos and contact me anytime if they need advice for their own jewellery making endeavors.

Classic patronage is just £5 a month and to become official costs only £10 a month.
I believe this is great value.
As the number of full instructional guides continues to grow the value will be even more considerable!

I have been lucky enough to have been taught by actual Bond Street shop model makers and my ambition is to share what I have learned through out my career to as many people as possible.
My vehicle to do this is the Diamond Mounter YouTube channel and its time to take it up a level.
My ambition is to be able to make instructional videos with not just silver, but gold and platinum also. Some proper jewellers soldering equipment will enable me to create much more special pieces too! This will open up a whole new world of information I have to share.
There are many specific methods and techniques used for the different precious metals and knowledge about gemstones I can teach that will never enter my videos unless I am actually working with them.

I hope you will consider becoming a patron!
