Three Pebble Hammered Sterling Silver Ring

After reading the book, The Complete Book of Jewelry Making ,A Full Color Introduction to the Jeweler's Art by Carles Codina, I was inspired to create this hammered fully adjustable sterling silver ring that I named, Three Pebbles.

I cut 22 gauge sterling silver sheet ~.5 inches wide. I then hammered the sheet to give it texture. I used a rawhide mallet to form the ring on a stainless steel mandrel. I then soldered on some of my original sterling silver pebbles. The ring is adjustable (~size 6.5-9) and it is a very modern organic design.

I will be adding more metalsmithed & wire wrapped rings in sterling silver and 14k GF over the next few weeks. Until then, you can buy this ring here for $44.95 by clicking below.
