@thetraditionalgoldsmith: 💎✨ Making Hinged Hoop Earrings - Stage 11 - Cleaning up the Casting (Part 1) Now we're on to the more basic stages, using a 4cut safety back needle I am cutting off the casting surface bringing the shine back to the metal. You can't really see it as I've sped the video up but I am slowly and methodically filling the earring to keep the shape of the casting. It is very easy for a jeweller to alter the shape when filing if they are not careful. #makingearrings #casting #diamondearrings #TheTraditionalGoldsmith #howjewelleryismade
