Thank You. Amazing video, I'm sick of snapping saws all the time.

Thanks Andrew!

I hope you're doing better

Thanks for a great review and demo.

Go electric Andrew, you know it makes sense.

Hi. Annealing 18kt gold, do I quench immediately like silver? Thank you.

can you use powdered borax in a box and just mix that with water?

Thank but what about golden chain , can I get paste gold solder???

I am just in the early learning stages with learning to make rings from silverware. I am a work in progress & will continue eatching and learning from your videos. All the other videos made spme sense..but you had to have tons of strength on your hands to complete the work. I look forward to eatching more of your training sessions. Thank ypu for sharing all that ypu jave learned with this new follower.

15 years ago bought a £3000 necklace for my ex that she didn't wear it at all and recently I wanted to sell it in Hatton garden and the guy wanted to buy it for £200 pounds 😁

Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooo.

True. The feeling you get can also be the investment. Society has us thinking that the term “investment,” is only for monetary purposes. But you invest into all sorts of things. So, after some thought. Yes, jewelry can be an investment. Thanks for discussing this. Always enjoy learning on your channel.

Buying jewelry as an investement isn't really good ( unless you're talking about a crown or a rare diamond, etc. You have to buy the lingot of gold and yes, it's value also has ups and downs depending on the market....as you said, buying jewelry is for the pleasure of wearing it...and of course it will still worth the metal and stone (some kind) and find a good place to sell in the retail market, because it's true there those who will try to take advantadge, if you let them. It takes research to find something fair.

A really interesting and thought provoking insight. As a creator, when pricing jewellery, it's easy to forget there's alot more to consider than the raw price of materials and the cost of making it.

We tend to keep our jewellery for our family, it's a tradition, it is called heirlooms. Sell it, never.

In my country buying gold julery is great investment for the long run, my mother sold her ring with almost 3 times it's original value. Obviously if you bought a ring and decided to sell it at the same day its value decreases but for a period of 10 years its value increases significantly at leat where I live

sad, pawn brokers love to tell you why your property is worthless when you're most desperate. tell me again how global labor effected the value of my piece xD xD

I’m housebound so would love an online tour if Birmingham Jewellery Quarter. My best friend’s mother, Sheila Mason, wrote a book on it. People who make beaded jewellery call it handmade. They are t making the beads. Jewellery use pre-cut stones. So if they do that you are saying the pieces aren’t handmade because they didn’t cut the stones. The woman who was loosing her sight. Maybe could have offered to turn her jewellery into a tactile piece?

Hi Andrew, thanks for a really good series. I am battling with soldering and I would want to know what solder you use I tried Easy, Hard solder (flat strips) but I have to heat the piece till the borax is black and then it still wont melt the solder. I am at my wits end a bit.

Have you tried using the lock switch when the torch is on? I don't have one of these torches, but I've seen it such as that you can lock the switch in the on position as well as in the off position.

Thanks

The tour of the Jewelry Quarter would be AMAZING for those of us that likely will never have the pleasure of getting there! Obviously know there would likely be filming restrictions, but would be amazing even to see the outsides of the buildings. And btw, wasn’t live today, but 10k is typical in US, not 8K.

Can you get the discount at the Edinburgh assay office

Hello, can you do the same setting with a cabochon?
