I took an introduction to silversmithing course this weekend. It was lots of fun--hard work, but fun. Our final project was a ring. This is mine:

This is the front-it's a thumb ring.

There is a heart on either side of the pawpring.
I made a couple pendants too. I'm going to work them into some of my beaded jewellery.
I love the ring, Glacier!!!! :)
That ring is beautiful!
Wow, cool! That's a neat skill to have, and of course we all love the ring - paw prints and hearts - how could we not? :) How did you stamp the design into the metal?
It actually started as two separate flat strips of silver. I cut the design into one strip, then soldered them together and then did a bunch of finishing work (sanding, polishing, ect) so that you can't see where the circle joined or the line between the two strips of silver.Quote:

Nice job!!!
I LOVE it!! I would love to have that in a pendant!!
EXCELLENT !!!
Love the ring! Don't suppose you would make any and sell them to us?
WOW!! That had to be work but interesting to do! Love the design you put on that ring.
I'll put in an order for one or two. :) I love rings and silver are the only rings I wear. :) I've got 6 on right now. :DQuote:

You could make a program out of that idea. It looks gorgeous. I was making rings out of silver wire years and years ago and liked to wear them at all fingers;)
What a wonderful ring. If you're taking orders I'm in!!!
The ring is gorgeous! Great job! :)
