- Hi Catherine,
Pretty sure you must be using metal forming techniques to accomplish your pieces. They appear to be heavier gauge. Maybe upwards of 18 or so ?
I am brand new to trying metal forming. Starting out with some 18 gauge fine.
Don't know if you have ever heard of William Fretz? Here is an example of him. The use of the miniature stakes is where I am trying to start off with. Since I can not afford the expensive stakes, I am making due with some different shaped mandrels and a single stake purchased off of eBay.
Just a lot harder than it looks !
Any way... Wanted to ask if you could suggest any good sites that show jewelry pieces made by the forming of metal. I am guessing you might be forming your rings in some similar way? Sorta looking for sites that show pieces made from metal forming so as to get a few design ideas too.
Love your rings !
