Silver and Amber Ring
Over 15 years ago I made a silver ring with a bezel-set amber stone in a jewelry making class, and I’ve been wearing it ever since. In this project, I’ll walk you through my process for recreating this ring (a newer, nicer version of the original).
For this project, you will need:
- Sterling silver crazy-8 wire (8 gauge)
- Sterling silver sheet in 14-18 gauge
- Fine silver bezel wire
- Amber stone – oval cabochon
- Silver solder in hard, medium, and easy
- Butane torch and fuel
- Fire extinguisher
- Fireproof soldering surface
- Everything else from the Torch Soldering lesson in my Jewelry Class
