Staff Blog≫ How to Making “HOLLOW RING”
1. For the hollow ring I first prepared a square top and a ring.
2. I fused the silver for the outside of the ring, and made it flat in the rolling mill.
3. Measuring the silver piece and deciding the size of my hollow ring.
4. Here I have bended and shaped the outside part of the hollow ring and am now cleaning it with emery paper for soldering the top on it.
5. Here I attached the top of the ring to the outside part with a thin iron wire while soldering them together.
6. Now the op and the downpart of the ring are soldered.
7. The next step was to make a perfectly fitting side piece for the ring.
8. I cutted a hole for the finger and soldered the side piece into the top and the outside part.
9. A close u picture of the soldering seams from inside of the sing.
10. Here I’m preparing to solder the second side piece of the ring; putting borax to protect the metal from oxidation and so helping the solder to run on its place.
11. Here is a close up picture of my soldering pieces.
12. Both sides of the hollow ring are soldered and the inside is cleaned.
13. The next step was to shape the holes for fingers so that the ring that goes inside fits perfectly.
14. Then I attached the ring on sealing wax, and started to mark the borders for decoration.
15. Here is a close up picture about the ornament with rose and leafs halfly engraved on the surface of the ring.
16. After marking the ornament I started to carv out metal from the backround to make the engraving more deeper.
