Some lampworked glass beads and a fused silver ring.

I made these beads by melting colored glass rods with a mapp gas torch and twisting the molten glass around a coated metal mandrel. I made the ring by wrapping fine silver wire around a big knitting needle (the same size as my ring finger) and then fusing the wire in to one contiguous ring with a butane torch. To harden the ring I beat it with the ball end of a ball-peen hammer against a steel block.
