Some not so simple rings:
The first is a hollow form dome made of sheet brass and silver, which is soldered onto brass and then was SUPPOSED to be soldered on a silver band, but is not. Got the silver off of ebay and it ended up that it is sterling plated copper wire, so when I went to sand and polish the band it became more and more coppery looking. I'm supper bummed.
This ring was formed from all sheet brass and was soldered together to form this crazy design which I like greatly surprisingly enough. The coloration on the cylinder on the top of the ring is just the fire scale from the torch (from the soldering process) which I didn't clean off.
All my bracelets end up being sized for small wrists because I've been sizing them off of my child sized wrist, BUT I do try to make them larger...I've just been failing lately.
BRACELET #1 is made of sterling wire formed into diamond shaped links and has a light hammered texture and is slightly oxidized.
BRACELET #2 is actually made of copper disks and a copper clasp which is highly oxidized so that it is sort of a blackish color which I like better than copper. This will also help prevent the copper from changing the color of the wearer's wrist. Copper on some, will change there skin greenish, just where the jewelry is laying, but it completely depends on the person.
