Anniversary Ring

It took me considerably too long to complete a 15th anniversary ring for my wife, partly do to procastination and partly do to getting the nerve up to actually make it and not make a mistake. The ring is forged from a heavy piece of sterling silver wire and then twisted and formed into the shape. I did many drawings to get the design right and then to match the forged detail took some time. The saphires are bezel set into hand made cups that were soldered to the formed ring. I completed the ring and was happy with the results and was able to give it to my beautiful wife, just a few months late (11), but beat being a year late:) She likes it and that is the most important part.
