How to make a ring - from start to finish. I've been wanting to make this video for months. I want to show you what is the difference between handcrafted piece and mass produced jewellery, fast fashion. The slow process of deep thought and focus. Original silversmithing techniques and skills that took time and effort to learn and practice. The essence of what I love about silversmithing the most. Every piece is different and unique, there are never two the same ones. And knowing that it becomes a part of someone, their style and personality. Of someone who wears it and bonds with it. ⭐️ My mini online course: How to make silver flowers: https://art-of-metalsmithing.thinkific.com/courses/little-silver-flowers ⭐️ GEMSTONES RESOURCES: - LIST OF SELLERS (PDF to download): https://www.patreon.com/posts/list-of-gemstone-27415416 - EXTENDED LIST OF SELLERS & suppliers: https://www.patreon.com/posts/extended-list-of-27415903 https://www.patreon.com/posts/list-of-gemstone-30289794 - LIST of additional RESOURCES for further reading (PDF to download): https://www.patreon.com/posts/list-of-gemstone-27415416 ⭐️ GEMSTONE SERIES: How to find gemstone sellers?
