Join Paul as he guides you through the process of rejoining and resizing gold and silver rings using infilling and laser wire with the DaDo 2.0 laser welder . You'll learn how to create smooth, durable joins and achieve a professional finish with ease and learn why a laser can be better than a fl...

Timeline

First, create a V-cut with an angle on the ring \[00:30].
The V should be knife-edged \[00:42].

Start at a low power setting and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired action \[00:50].
If it sounds "splatty", it's too hot, so decrease the power \[01:12].

Tack the ring to ...

Initial Attachment: Begin by attaching one side of the new gold section to the existing ring shank using a low power setting on the laser welder [00:28].

Second Side Attachment: Join the other side of the new section to the shank, ensuring a close and even fit [00:56].
Use pliers to adjust and ...

Laser Settings and Preparation:
The video begins by establishing the appropriate power setting for the laser, emphasizing that silver requires more heat and technique than gold due to its heat conductivity \[00:26].
The laser's power is adjusted incrementally until the desired action i...

In this video, we cover a crucial tip to avoid weakening your work when welding. One of the most important things to remember is not to leave a "pocket"—a small gap formed as you melt the material. If you move past it without properly filling it in, it can create a weak point that may eventually ...

Using a laser welder instead of a flame for jewellery because it offers greater precision and control, reducing the risk of damaging delicate pieces and gemtones. Laser welding also produces cleaner welds, requiring less polishing and post-weld cleaning.
