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!
