Scorpio Rings - Wedding set 14k Gold

Gallery One Ellensburg gold wedding set
A wedding set for some friends of mine and of the Gallery One
This is the same basic design I always like to make.  
The Scorpio ring.
Sizes 12 and 8



There is always a last piece to cover the seam.

My first melt had bubbles, like Swiss cheese.  Not good to work with, resolved oxygen I think.  So re- melt....
Melty melty

A lot of very small pieces.



Basic band construction 





Sort of beautiful like this too.  Those colours are the products of combustion and cupric oxides.  Soldering requires heating the piece to about 1,800 degrees.








Stopping to goof off!
