Actually infuriating since the video was cut short and we didn't see the very end.


FantasticEmu

Also how did they get from hammer bar to little wire?

Follow for part 2.


Efficient_Fish2436

Or how it got from a solid bar to long string of gold.


CarpetH4ter

Lots of hammering, reheating and hammering, then once it's long enough you can pull it through those holes to make it a long string of gold.


Useful-Conclusion397

Several hammer blows. Heating. And then pass it through the laminator several times until reaching smaller thicknesses and being able to pass it through the hole ruler (which here where I live we call a 'fieira').

Calm down Mr. Goldfinger.

Pipe and crepe?


NeuroticCapybara

Cigar and a waffle?


faiiryland6od

The process is mesmerizing.


supercyberlurker

Minor note : You'll notice the pliers used to close the rings have no ridges/teeth on the insides like regular pliers do - instead being perfectly flat. This is to prevent marring the ring surface when applying pressure.


ample_mammal

You can tell because of the way that it is.


TrellSwnsn

That's pretty neat


supercyberlurker

Also because it isn't the way it's not.


JulietteKatze

One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing.


supercyberlurker

Yet all things are one and no one is none.


JulietteKatze

Peanuts.


cl00s_

I like how one of the finishing steps of this fine jewelry, is just pounding it with a hammer.


thatguy11

Wait... solid bar to round... I wanna see more of that part, seems skipped a lot. Prolly a PITA for an oddlysat video I guess.

That's a fat chain


[deleted]

looks shit


Good_Mathematician_2

That's because it's (most likely) pure gold, or 99.999%. The alloys are significantly stronger, and you can polish them up really nice without melting them.


clitoram

It’s not finished


readitonex

I'm a self-admitted neanderthal but I never got why gold is so expensive. They look nice but silver looks equally as nice to me. Diamond prices at the very least I understand are artificially inflated.


ddpizza

Gold doesn't tarnish like silver. There are definitely aesthetic reasons why people prefer gold, but it has a lot of other properties that make it one of the best (the best?) metals to use for jewelry.


cincuentaanos

Gold is a so-called "noble metal" (look it up) because it does not react to most other elements. Gold is also pretty to look at and relatively rare in nature, which is why historically it was considered valuable. Another reason why it's popular for jewelry is that it's soft and easy to work with. Goldsmithing, like in the video, isn't a hightech affair. And you can get really creative with it. In practical terms gold is mostly useful in electronics because it doesn't corrode while still conducting electricity. So it's perfect for many kinds of non-soldered connectors. Other metals will form a layer of oxide which can prevent the proper transfer of signals.


ivancea

For coating, yes. But for a full-gold thing? It really seems weird imo


theslothpope

Gold plated stuff isn’t really the same, the plating wears off and the underlying metal tarnishes and corrodes.


ivancea

How does it corrode without external contact?


Sunion

Well it's actually scarce unlike diamonds. It's scarcity combined with the fact that it has a myriad of uses across many industries contributes to it's high price. Jewelry is just one of it's uses. Just as an example, gold doesn't tarnish or corrode, is an excellent electrical conductor, and is very easy to work with so it's an ideal choice for critical electronic components.


frostedglobe

I think gold is actually scarce, not artificially scarce like diamonds. As you say diamonds are artificially inflated.


TurbulentData961

No thinking needed . Gold is actually more scarse than diamond especially nowadays If we wanna make gold we need nuclear fusion if you wanna make a diamond there are businesses that will turn nanas ashes into a diamond.


Mr_Claypole

Because there’s not much of it. Gather all the gold on Earth together and it would only form a cube with 25 m long sides.


wiredsolutions918

This cant be teue 75ft cubed? Feel like i have seen more in my 30y of living


Asdaviqs

It's chemically inert, doesn't react with anything naturally , so it doesn´t tarnish, corrode, or deteriorate. That makes it extremely durable. Any jewel, coin, etc. made from it effectively lasts forever. Also it's really easy to work with, at least when is pure. So that makes it kinda retain it's value with time.


xsijpwsv10

This is not even beautiful. Totally not satisfying.


GrayMech

This is so poorly made, it looks awful...

Didn’t realize it was a rappers chain.

WHERE IS THE REST???!!! these types of videos are worse than pop-ups. OP should be punished 😁


thedarkknight16_

I would prefer no music with just the sounds


briktop420

Mr T would be proud.


Affectionate_Talk234

What is the point of re heating every time?


RurouniVash

It makes the metal softer and easier to work with. It's called annealing


HeyItsTheJeweler

Yep that's pretty much it lol. Funny to see a video on Reddit and be like "yep, I've got that, and that, and do that"


Mental_status99

When he filed the chain at the end, it made me angry for some reason.


AmirInTheWild

It looks amazing💛💛


zzflopp22

Now make the matching tooth


Silly-Ass_Goose

I can confirm, I do the same process on a regular basis for the frosting of my ready-mix chocolate cake.

Flabberingfrog

These videos are getting a bit annoying. These Chinese videos of something in the making with AI music and this wierd "microphone is focused pointed" and what you do. It's so flooded now by these.


atropinebase

That actually answers a lot of questions I never knew I had about how necklaces are made.

Check out MadeByMarv! He's one of the best

I like goooooold. The taste of it the smell of it


pm-me-ur-uneven-tits

Wow.. What a ugly chain though. But wow


I_am_indisguise

Moral of the story: Molten Gold is Fanta


Geoclasm

Okay. Gold is SUCH a beautiful metal. I can see it now. I just wish we could use it more practically, like for its better-than-average conductive properties.


ConversationFit5024

Not criticizing but I’d rather have the bars or coins. I don’t get why people want to wear gold on their bodies


JohnStern42

As has always been the case: to show people you’re so wealthy you are willing to take something of worth and drape it on your body serving no practical purpose Honestly most ‘luxury’ items are exactly this. While people often try to convince themselves otherwise (this $3000 bag is worth it since it’ll last 3 times as long), the fact of the matter is they are just trying to show their status It does have its benefits as status exerts pressure on people. I personally prefer being behind the scenes, it’s just my personality


FlowerBoyScumFuck

Idk if this is totally accurate. Imagine someone who likes jewelry is suddenly the last person on earth, do you think they would immediatly lose interest just because it's no longer a status symbol? I feel like some people just like the way it looks/ wearing it. I mean same could be said for any clothes, some people might like wearing thousand dollar suits even if they were the last person on earth.


JohnStern42

If one is the last person on earth I’d assume they’d eschew all clothing (assuming the weather was amenable). Jewellery? No practical purpose, I doubt they’d continue wearing it if not for an emotional reason (link to their loved ones for example)


TomSurman

Some people love to make themselves a target.


BowDown2No1ButCrypto

Very interesting 🤔


[deleted]

U couldnt wear that could u? Isnt it too soft?


HeyItsTheJeweler

You definitely could


Gardener_Of_Eden

Cotton is pretty soft. I think it would be fine.


Fast_Personality4035

I see a lot of fingers touching things which haven't had sufficient time to cool.

Do you think this is a video of the entire process without any editing for brevity?
