andgott Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Here is some new work from this week- I've been making a lot of rings recently. All are forged from 304 Stainless steel. Some simple bands- More in next post.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andgott Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Band with an inset 2.5mm Peridot stone- This one has a 4mm Black Onyx- This one has a 2.5mm Red Garnet- This is a bit heavier band, With an inset 2mm Black Diamond- This one has a .25ct Natural rough cube diamond- All of them are sized, and depending on the design, SOME of them are resizeable to a point, usually about 1 size down and 2-3 up, but for the most part, they're pretty much custom made to order, so they fit! It took me a while to get the sizing thing down- it is far more precise than most blacksmithing work I am accustomed to, there is only about a .10 inch difference in the circumference between sizes- And getting them dead on is pretty important. The ones that have inset stones are a result of a lot of experimentation. I'm pretty happy with the results. I had to create punches that match the bottom of the stone I'm setting, so I get a good, tight fit! -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
