    Default Two rings....

    I have made two rings, both a challenge in different ways and have needed plenty of forward thinking and rethinking!! They're both commissions, but the people who they are fore won't be looking here!!

    The first is a mans thumb ring with pierced hares similar to Badger Ales (Hopping Hare), in sterling silver, attached to two rings


    The second is a remake from old rings.....I am already in love with this ring and it is yet to be finished, when it is, I will post a thread of each stage.... this is the melt up of 3 rings, (parents engagement, eternity & wedding rings) into a single ring, assayed & hallmarked 18ct this week, plus some rubies to be added......

    from this ......to this, setting next week...

    I've really enjoyed seeing these two pieces come together....

    Thank you both......it feels quite a privilege (and quite scary!!) to remake the family rings into one!!

    Thanks Dennis, I really enjoyed making it, I have a fair next weekend and I'm going to take the liberty of putting it in the case with a 'sold' tag...hopefully to give folk ideas......and thanks Jules,......my daughter took me out for lunch for mother's day today and I was scrubbing and scraping my fingers, even as we went in to town, so they didn't look quite so awful..... ......I know now, that I will never have beautiful hands.......hahaha

    I'll post a piccie of the finished ring, (it's a little red, white and blue for me) the design I love, the stones together I am not so sure about.....but I can't think of a way to mix them to make it a little more subtle.....??

    Jill (aka Tabby) xx
