Working with gold isn’t forgiving. One wrong move — and you can lose thousands. In this video, we hand-make a mount to hold a 1oz fine gold coin, using the same old-school techniques I was taught over 35 years ago — skills that every jeweller at Blackwell Jewellers still uses today. No casting. No machines. Just skill, patience, and precision. When you’re working with real gold, there’s no backup plan. Every cut, every joint, and every flame has to be perfect. That’s what makes it special — and why these traditional skills still matter. If you love seeing real craftsmanship and behind-the-bench builds, hit Subscribe — we post new videos every Friday at 6 p.m. And if you’d like any free jewellery advice, or you’re thinking about having something made by hand, I’m always happy to help. 📩 jamesmarsh@blackwelljewellers.co.uk – James, Team Blackwell 💎 #GoldCraftsmanship #HandmadeJewellery #GoldCoinMount #FineGold
