Rings for fun
I love making things that I can use in my daily life. Quilts, Embroidery, Jewelry, and Rings.
So here are some rings that I made out of scrap jewelry.
This is what it looks like before I cleaned the edges, sanded, and polished the rings.
All these rings are from scrap metals. Sterling silver and gold.
Round Ball Ring

Growth in gentleness
When I first started metal work. I loved heavy heat and tended to melt my metal and destroy what I was working on.
I now have my own metal smith studio in my house and it's not in a class environment.

The second ring which has a swirl on it. Is such a victory for me because I learned to tame the heat. I tried when I was learning the soldering skill to have the swirl be an ascent to the jewelry and ended up destroying it.
Before I would place solder around the swirl and melt the metal because the metal is so thin and fragile cannot handle the heat.
But learning new way of using the same skill. I placed the solder on the ring and got it to flow and then placed the swirl on top. This allowed the solder to flow and connect to the ring without using to much heat.
