I know it’s Christmas week so I should have probably started this project a little earlier but it was only when I was bombarded by shows on how to make Christmas cakes and desserts did I think about making the perfect Christmas utensil.
This is part three of making a silver ring. If you want to see part two click here.
When the ring has cooled down it is put in a diluted acid solution. This cleans the silver and removes any traces of flux.
When I get an order for a piece of jewellery such is my enthusiasm to get started I forget to document the process for my blog! This week I decided to make a simple silver ring and photograph each stage of the process. Here are the photos from today’s work.
With the Irish natonal budget only a day away and Christmas shopping on everyones mind. I decided to go in search of some recession chic jewellery. You’ll be delighted to hear the gold and silversmiths didn’t disappoint!
Since we’re into the month of December and the weather has turned all Christmassy I thought it would be as good a time as any to look and see what the world of silversmiths are making for the festive season.
