The Most Insane 10-Carat Earrings Made by Hand!
See how we make solid platinum earrings using 10 carats in diamonds. With stones this size, diamond earrings like these are not for the faint of heart!
Take the complete journey as a Master Jeweler Gaston Rives forges the earrings frame from scrap platinum, then shapes the concentric loops, and prongs holding the beautiful diamonds in place.
From the hissing of the torch to melt the platinum, to the metal clanking of the anvil, we hold nothing back in this immersive, sensual experience.
Here are the different sections of the video:
00:00 Intro
00:11 Weighing both 5-carat diamonds used to make the earrings.
00:23 Melting scrap platinum to make the earrings.
01:10 Forging one piece of platinum to make wire for the earrings.
01:48 Making the 4 rings for the earrings.
02:46 Making the prongs and welding them to the rings.
04:17 Making and welding the base for the rings.
05:22 Welding the posts.
05:40 Mounting the stones.
06:10 Final polishing.
06:34 The final diamond earrings next to a dime for size comparison purposes.
