In this video we watch jeweler Erdem Olcer of @jasminejeweller create a 940 Argentium silver, micro-hammer–finished blue topaz ring.

Process highlights:
• Using a large ball bur to create the seat on the ring for the setting
• Applying texture with a pneumatic engraving system
• Using a TIG welder to place metal beneath the prongs

Would love to learn more about that TIG method, @jasminejeweller.
