Asymmetrical fused silver ring with a ruby.



This ring was formed by fusing a 10 gauge silver wire ring at about a ring size of 8. Then I built of the table of the ring with additional pieces of 14 gauge silver. After fusing, I shaped the ring with a hammer and mandril to expand the ring diameter to size 11. I then trimmed the table with a dremel and drilled the gem setting. After running the ring through a steel-shot tumbler, I polished it and set the gem with some jewelers resin.
