Summer session- Metalsmithing I and 2

Well, it's week 2 and we already have finished projects!


This turquoise ring by Angie is her first stone-set piece! She measured, cut and soldered the bezel closed, then soldered it to the base, created and soldered the ring shank, stamped the design around the border, buffed it, oxidized it, tumble-shined it, and finally- raised and set the stone! Great work!



These are Marie's earrings made by the fold-over chain method. She cut, fused, hammered and bent them into submission!



Gayle's bracelet also used the fold-over chain method- same gauge and wire length as Marie's but totally different aesthetic result!

Nice job everyone!!
