Silver ring

This project is to make a ring, using silver with a bezel set stone. I will be making it very simple with an Amethyst stone set into it. I will be adding text to it, either on the inside or the outside.

Here are some images of my sketchbook pages, that include sketches, designs, methods, sizing, the process and final images. 

'xo'

The reason I put the 'xo' into my piece is, it's put at the end of all letters and cards our family send to each other, and so it was just a little reminder of home whilst I've been away.

Here is the final image for my first ever silver ring...

When I make another ring, I will consider how it fits on the finger, this ring is very wide (which was purposely intended) but I should have considered how uncomfortable it would be to wear, so the next time I make a wide band ring, I would flare out the edges so that it's comfortable. I would also like to add a little texture in to the next ring I create, or perhaps drill some holes to add a little detail.
