Ring a week challenge- ring #2

Well after seeing all the great rings submitted to the RAW52 Challenge I have finished my second ring. I was inspired by the texture and shape of my reversible puffed heart necklaces and wanted to make a ring using the same techniques. This is what I came up with and I am pretty happy with the outcome :)

The copper has been run through the rolling mill to give it texture. Then it has been hydraulic pressed to give it shape. I attached it to a sterling silver back that has been accented with sterling balls and set with a turquoise stone.

Custom work

I love to do custom pieces. There is nothing like letting your creativity run free while creating something one of a kind. It's always a challenge to try to make the customer happy while actually making the piece work. Here are just a few of the many custom pieces I have done for customers in the past.
