| Here is a ring that I made for my wife, to sort of get back into the swing-of-things. |
It is a simple sterling band with 14k gold and it has been oxidized using liver of sulfur.
Some pictures of the construction: Basically the gold was sweat soldered to sheet sterling, then rolled flat to 'smush' it together. Smush is a technical term.
This is what it looked like before the patina.
The mixture of metals in the area where the solder alloyed with the sterling and gold creates some interesting differences in the patina.
Pretty fun. I think it took about 4 hours, and I found all of my tools again.....
