More Jewelry Making...

Had fun today making a copper ring with this gorgeous labradorite I bought. I used copper solder instead of silver solder and I’m really pleased with how well it blends in. 




Also, here is the completed Azurite ring I made for my mom. Kind of getting the hang of this soldering business. 




Over my Christmas vacation I played with a technique I had seen but never tried where you melt silver solder (the type for stained glass) on copper and then stamp into it. Definitely want to make more of these and am on the hunt for red rubber stamps (can handle the heat) with deep details but not fine details so they show up well. 


Also made a copper bracelet. I enjoy silver but copper calls to me. 


What cool things have you made lately?
