A Round up of Chris's In the Loupe films
31 August 2016
Chris, goldsmith and general raconteur, has been documenting some of the processes from his day to day workshop life. Here is a round up of some of his films, hope you enjoy them.
Tourmaline Kiss ring
31 August 2016
I've been finishing off the setting process of this 18ct Fairtrade white gold 'Kiss' ring, with a rather enchanting buff-top blue-green tourmaline. Having pushed the metal edge over the stone, the video shows the bits where I'm filing an even surface around the stone, then cutting a bright edge with a sharp, polished flat scorper. Touching the stone and scratching it is easily done, but generally frowned on. Paul's going to put it somewhere tempting in the window later this morning... ttfn Chris #intheloupe #fairtrade#tourmaline #jondibben
