Dont know if anyone wants to see all this but I took the pictures. So here it is.
First i drew out on graph paper then rubber cement to 18 guage silver. Cut it out and make sure the size is right
Aneal then stamp, even though my stamping is not so good looking it won't matter with so many things to solder on.
Aneal again then form into ring and solder
Picked out some stones and doo dads to solder on, (ear rings,bead caps, silver balls) still no plan.
Made bezel for Royston Turquoise and shaped to fit ring tight. Cheated and had some bezel cups for the others. Started to solder everything on.
Finish soldering, set the stones added some patina
Do a little clean up and polish.
Thanks for looking
tttttthats allllllllll folks
