nonjic Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thought you might like to see this, its my 3rd try at a lined ring, the steel is from a bar of mosaic damascus, 15n20 & 1080. The liner is 925 sterling silver. Its my first commisioned piece, and the first thing ive ever made Ive sold ! much harder working to an exact size All feedback appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 You done good! Very nice job on the liner and on the Damascus. It's a lot harder than one would think to get a ring to the exact size but when you're working with two different bands it gets problematic, excellent job!
