The reticulated test pieces

[LydiaNiz]

Rather than hogging the other thread I thought I'd post them here.
There are going to be some more (pins, large necklaces etc), but these are the first ones.
I think I want to rethink the ring band. I love how it looks, but sizing to order will be a bit of an issue and it's a bicep buster!

gorgeous! love the opal sitting in the reticulated finish!

[LydiaNiz]

thank you!

[Sammyjean]

Lovely textures! and love the ring, proper chunky! Is that sheet 3mm thick?

[Dennis]

They look very desirable Lydia, particularly as a group. Dennis

[LydiaNiz]

thank you - you're very kind! It is 2mm thick - enough that it took repeat annealings and my best Hulk impression to persuade it into a curve!

[Wallace]

love them - beautiful work Lydia

Lovely pieces Lydia

[caroleallen]

Love them. How are you going to size the ring?

[enigma]

I do some 2.5mm thick and some 3mm thick D shaped wire ones.
Im SO glad I have my Durston ring bender!
I got as far as doing a 2.5mm in 9ct gold before I decided I needed one lol
