The Results Are IN !

I thought I would update you all on my efforts from those classes I took last month.   They were really fun and interesting to see how another teacher does the same work.  I have to say, I learned a lot, and the differences were many !  

Keum-Boo.   These has to be done with fine silver (99.9%) as opposed to sterling silver, which has a copper component.  The 22K gold leaf is burnished on with the piece warmed on a hot plate.  Very cool !  The possibilities seem endless.

Of course, I made them asymmetrical !

Tension Set Ring

This was interesting, too.  This required no soldering at all, but the sterling had to be very thick to maintain the tension required.  This style is a little modern for my tastes, but I like it anyways !  The stone is a faceted citrine.

I also took an online class learning to make a "boho" ring, or "saddle" ring.   This was fun and I LOVE this ring.  I used a pink tourmaline that I have been hoarding for years.  This ring is killer comfortable.

The tourmaline is flanked by two garnets.  There were many steps and a lot of soldering to complete this ring.  A true project!
