What's New?

I've been working on a ring for my metal-smithing class. I know I still need to post pics of the last project, but I don't have them, yet, so I'll give a preview of the ring. I'm really excited to see it when I'm done! I cut the shank from a piece of 14 gauge sterling silver, then annealed and bent it to shape. I've already but the base and prongs for the piece that will hold the stone. I used brass for this part because I think it looks great next to the black stone. Next step is to solder it all together then I'll bend my prongs into place. I'm hoping to finish up in Monday's class!
