Brass rolled to 36 gauge, wound together and soldered on the outside edge, but not inside.  Then I had to work it back into a decent state of hardness so it holds onto the finger.

Day 3

This ring is roller printed sterling silver with a patina.
I wasn't planning on it looking like a cigar band but I am happy with the finale piece.

Ring-a-Day - Day 1

Mike and I are committing to making a ring a day this year...trying anyway, in the Etsy Metal team challenge started by Nina Dinoff. There are no real rules, the rings can be made of any materiel and can be made in any amount of time.

Mike's day 1


Took two elements that had been sitting on my bench for a while and put them together.


Rachelle's day 1




sterling silver and peach moonstone.
