[how it's made] Gold-filled rings - process + tips

Hi! I'm Candice and I learned how to metalsmith at home with the help of the internet! In this video I show you how I personally use 14k yellow gold-filled to make rings. Other people probably do a much better job than me! Gold-fill is a tricky material to metalsmith with because only 5% of it is gold alloy so you have to be careful not to accidentally remove the gold! However, it is much more durable and valuable than gold-plated jewelry which is only 0.05% gold! Although I find it tricky to work with, gold-fill is such a beautiful material and is very affordable compared to solid gold! Wave design behind the Sunrise shell inspired by Mo Made Design.
