Two Rings for One Finger.
Following my experimental shamrock ring shown earlier, I decided to build on that theme, but using a lotus design and making two rings to fit one finger,
One of the rings is meant to fit normally and the other is to be worn above the knuckle of the same finger.
The flowers in various stages of opening were made from identical buds seventeen in all, some with parts cut away and soldered together.
As before, each unit was provided with a stem, an equal number passing right and left to create the shank.
I was also quite excited by the idea of joining the rings with a very thin chain, but as with many projects this was abandoned, in this case to allow the option of wearing only one ring at a time, or wearing them on separate fingers.
Rectangular wire for lotus flowers and pads: 1.5 x 0.55 mm
Rectangular wire for stems: 1.5 x 0.80 mm, with edges rounded.
Ring sizes, Q and K. Dennis

Such beautiful work Dennis!

Oooh, they're so dainty, I love them!

Fine work as always Dennis - And some mammoth soldering I'm guessing. May I ask what the red marks are for?

Great work Dennis. Must have been very labour intensive.

Thank you all for your kind comments.
The red pen was to remind me which was to be the outer side of the ring, Voss (is it Charles?). Otherwise a moment's inattention and it ends up inside out.
The soldering was done bit by bit, because these short pices of wire can be overcome by the surface tension of liquid solder and end up in a heap.
No not commercially viable Carole, except as a master for casting multiples. Regards, Dennis.

Those are beautiful Dennis!

Dennis, can I ask where you got your wire from, as cooksons don't seem to have it in those dimensions, and looking at your lovely rings those dimensions would be great for a butterfly pendant I would like to make?

Gorgeous, as ever Dennis. I love the photography too.
