DIY Tutorial - How to Make a Textured Ring With Sterling Silver!??

Tools and Materials:

• Sterling silver
• Tableting machine
• Marker Pen
• water
• hammer
• Hammer Texture
• Scissors
• Lighter

Draw up the outlines of your ring-design on the surface of the silver with a marker. Confirm the length of the ring.

Trim out the silver you need according to the outlines with scissors.

For the silver piece is already bended after being trimmed off, we use a hammer to hammer it to make it straight and plane.

Heat up the silver to soften it.

Cool the silver down with cold water. Be careful about the heat.

We use a press-machine to press and lengthen the silver for it has become softened after heating.

The squashed and lengthened silver will be hammered by a texture-hammer to make textures and decorative pattern.

After pressing, the length of the silver will be different. So we will mark the size of the ring again on the surface of the silver.

Trim the silver according to the marking.

Polish the trimmed silver to make the incision become smooth.

Put the silver onto the model of the ring. Bend it with strength and make it into a ring with a opening. Hammer it to make it fixed and firm.

Pick another smaller silver piece and process the same procedures as above. This piece will be kept for the next step.

Place the small silver piece above the opening ring and bend it, hammer it slightly as the image shows to fit these two parts completely.

Fix the ring on the table and add welding powder to the area which needs to be welded. Place the small silver piece above.

Heat the welding part of the two parts to make them welded together completely.

Cool it down with cold water.

Put the successfully welded ring back to the ring-model and hammer it slightly to fix the shape of it.

Place the ring into the de-oxidation solution for a few minutes.

Slightly brush away the dirt on the ring’s surface.

About this ring, we creatively use the advantage of the silver elements, which is easy to be shaped and be textured, to combine the both sides of the ring. This craft will make the ring less heavy and easier to be shaped and fixed, which makes the ring more charming and smarter.
