Here's a uniquely alloyed ring that I created for my sister, Marina. The ring is meant to look very rough around the edges but highly polished on its broad surface.
I'm anxious to see how the ring will take a patina. The alloy is about 250 parts pure silver to 750 parts pure copper.... similar to the Japanese alloy called Shibuichi. My sister and I both like to rose look of copper and rose gold. This is a "rose silver" which makes a very neat hue from the inclusion of silver in the alloy.
I'll soon be delving into the world of Mokumé Gané which is metal that looks wood grained. I'll be sure to post some of the rings when I get around to making them and eventually offering them for sale.
