I feel sure that I have already produced such a thread, but I can't find it, so...........
I enjoy making very simple jewelry such as rings, badges, brooches and castings of sea shells. To caste a ring in metal I usually have to make a model of it in wood, and if this will only be used once then I'll cut out the casting model in a cheap softwood, but if it will be used often I will cut it out in ebony.
Sometimes I like wearing wooden rings and many years ago I made 'wedding' rings in walnut for wife and self to commemorate our wooden anniversary.....mine is shown in the picture below, leaning on the hardwood block. Next to my wedding ring, that is my most valuable piece of jewelry.
But casting in metals is my main activity. To get things going I will show three photos, a collection of wooden models or blanks, a pair of ring bands in rose silver and electrum, and two rings with stones, again in electrum and one in rose silver.
