Box Ring & Dome Ring

Box Ring

Box Ring

Rolled out a piece of flat plate 1.5mm thick, then cut out a strip 100mm long and 10 mm wide, Bend the strip into a U shape that would fit around the finger of the person you are making it for, then a pieces  of plate was cut to fit in to the sides of the U-Shape and soldered in place a circle was then cut out to form the ring, I then reticulated another piece of plate for the top, this involved the heating of the silver plate until just before melting then quenching in sulphuric acid and heating again for a a repetition of 10 times, it was then cut and soldered onto the top of the ring.

Dome Ring

The dome ring starts out as a tube six sizes bigger than the required size it is then hammered in a dapping block until it has formed what looks very like a donut it is then cut and shaped so that the bottom of the ring is smaller than the top creating a large dome surface on the top of the finger
