At the Bench: remake this Aquamarine into an Open Bezel Ring

This At the Bench episode, I take an old ring that I made a year ago and transform it into something new.

This piece almost got the best of me…

When you fabricate everything by hand, there’s a lot of risk with every step of the smithing process. If you mess up on one part, you have to start it all over again. And, fortunately or unfortunately, I have promised myself I won’t by any more silver wire/sheet (unless it already has a design I can’t replicate) until I use all my silver up. So, I roll out/draw everything I need for every project. And while it’s fun, it’s incredibly time consuming 🫣

I hope you enjoy this At the Bench and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week ✨🤍

With Love,
Vanessa
