Sterling Silver Circle Set



I used 16 gauge wire to make the larger rings, (about ½” outside edge to outside edge) soldered and hammered and 20 gauge for the chain, I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

Here is the same ring from my earlier post but I have given it a patina to look a bit aged.
I might oxidize the blue set, but I'm not sure yet. :)

New Rings!



I made these last night at my silversmith class! It was so much fun, I just loved being in the shop with all the tools and proper torch, and can't wait to go back!

More Chainmaille


Here are the tools of the trade! Wire, something to wind it around (in this case a crochet hook) a jewelerys saw and bee's wax for the blade, and a pair of pliers. Once you have that, you can make this!

Earrings!



Here are a few pairs of earrings I made in a past couple days. Sorry the pictures are not very good but it's dark outside and I'm off to market in the morning, so I wanted to get a couple pictures just incase they sell tomorrow!

My second Chainmaille attempt



This is copper and sterling silver 4 in 1 bracelet. I used a crochet hook as a mandrel then cut the coil with my jewelers saw, it took a while but I’m sure with practice I will get quicker!
