I finally got the nerve to cut a strip of my precious 18 gauge silver sheet and try to make a ring. It was a big deal for me, because a) I rarely wear rings so one made for me would sit in my jewellery box forever, b) I have hands like a stevedore, so a ring made for me would have to be a size 11, using a LOT of silver, and c) making it for someone else would be silly since I didn't know if it would turn out and I really didn't know anyone who would wear it any more than I would.
So, yes, it was a big deal.
It's a spinner ring. No way was my first attempt going to be a plain band.
Considering the fact that I didn't do a lot of measuring and I really didn't know what I was doing, it turned out okay. I might wear it.
