    Barbara - what lengths did you order for this ring strengtheners? I'd like to give it a go, if that's okay with you.

    They only do fine silver sheet at a maximum of 30cm by 15cm - so I usually buy a strip 30cm long and 4mm, 6mm or 1cm wide (depending on what width rings I fancy making. You can get 5 rings out of a 30cm strip - unless you are making for BIG men - and get a little bit left over (which I am planning to use for earrings or some such thing when I get a few pieces together). Idiot that I am - I somehow managed to order 15cm lengths....sigh...It must be my age!!!

    It does take a bit of practice to fuse the rings neatly - I haven't tried using them unfused although I guess it would work as the pmc would support the ring and the ring support the pmc - up to a point anyway!! And obviously - soldering with 925 solder would leave a potentially tarnishing line on the inside of the ring - I don't think it affects the hallmarking quality though - but I would have to check that... Anyway I think the fusing of the ring will make the whole thing stronger ...so ...practice makes perfect!!

    Of course I don't mind you 'playing' Di,...so long as you don't end up too good at it!!.

    Have fun!!

    looks like I managed to miss that one!

    At least it means there's still a wee bit of money in my bank account - for now anyway!
