A jewellers 10x magnification loop is an industry standard. We all use them.
In the shop, 10x is a good level of magnification for checking the grade and condition of gemstones and also the wear and tear on a used piece of jewellery a customer brings in.
In the workshop they're useful for checking solder joins and the surface condition of pieces being made. You'll see me use mine all the time in my videos!
Sometimes customers ask to look at a piece of jewellery that they are considering buying with your loop but they are not immediately easy to use.
In the video I explain how I used to show customers the easiest way to use one.
I am now on Patreon.
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops.
Become a classic patron you will not only be able to view part 2 of full instructional guides but also be thanked personally on the next youtube upload! You will also have access to all future uploads 2 weeks before they go live on youtube.
Official patrons have all the benefits of a classic patron but also gain access to regular exclusive content. Behind the scenes, personal jewellery projects Im working on, I share ideas for future videos, photos and stories from throughout my career as a professional jeweller.
Also Official patrons are welcome to suggest ideas for future videos and contact me anytime if they need advice for their own jewellery making endeavors.
Classic patronage is just £5 a month and to become Official costs only £10 a month making Diamond Mounter patronage by far the best value way to gain access to online jewellery making courses.
As the number of full instructional guides continues to grow the value will be even more considerable.

Jewellers will commonly use an oxygen and propane mixed gas set up for their soldering.
Oxygen accelerates combustion. A fire will burn faster and hotter with higher concentrations of oxygen present. Adding oil to a pressurised oxygen cylinder could literally kill everybody in the room and destroy the building.

Now I have some basic ability to work with aluminium I can start to experiment with some art pieces.
To make a piece with sudden direction changes exploring the effects of perspectives and their interactions with light and shadows is very enjoyable for me.

I have a new artwork idea I'd like to try but I need some large diameter square tube to make it. I found in a hardware store this aluminium tube that would be ideal if I can solder it.
This video was made to document my first experience working with aluminium. It didn't go too well!
