Hi Linda, each one is beautiful, did you solder a finger ring to the componants?

Best wishes, Marie-Ange.

All of these were made up using either solder technique ,pegging or wiring depending. Because of the stones and delicate nature of the rings they had to be done either with micro soldering and or using a covering of a fire inhibitor around the rings so they would not crack. very delicate type of work as to not to melt the stones or enameling, etc. A few were wired on which also works if the band and the underside has a way to do that. or pegs to form pins that are then used with adhesive that bonds.
