Gold Chased Ring

 20k gold man's ring with a chased center of the band.

This is the chasing  pattern that I rather like, it is like the surface of the moon.


This was the source of the recycled gold...

I actually bought this at an estate sale.  I'm pretty sure that the former owner of these teeth was done with them.  The black one probably hurt.



After carefully removing the teeth, with a ball-peen hammer, I melted the gold into a loaf shape
I split the loaf in half with my jeweler's saw....
