Thank you Tabby (Is that your name? it's lovely)
There is bits i wish i could improve a lot but it's always the way when you make things, it's hard to be really satisfied but as a 1st attempt i guess it's ok.
When i'm sewing i'm the same i could point out every tiny little stitch that went slightly wrong that others would never even notice, but i'm a lot more confident about my sewing skills having done it all my life and actually trained for many years in the field

Thank you, i was really panicking to be honest as i just jumped straight in headfirst without any practicing on anything (had a few little goes at soldering scrap as i went along) it has got to have been at least 15 years since i did my option course at uni and that was very basic (we only made a single plain band ring) onwards and upwards now i hope!

haha! this is always my plan of action. If I'm using precious metals and it has to be right first time, I figure I'll be extra careful.

I have bought some copper stock however to practice piercing on

I think that would have been a wise course of action for me, but then wise is not a word that could ever be used to describe me lol
Being extra careful seems to translate into me shaking like a leaf and being dithery then chucking things at the wall or the O/H head
