Solitaire ring with filled out claw setting


 



during this project i manufactured 2 strips of metal 22mm long and 3,8mm width to make tubes using the cone punching blog. I marked out my claws taking note the solder seam and positioning one of the hexagon punches into my solder seam. marked my lines and saw then used a straight Frazer to open up my lines, used my Berret file to create a nice v shape and making my lines straight.

i marked my bottom claws in between the spaces and scrabbed 1.5mm from the bottom and used my triangular files to open the bottom part and create a MC Donald's logo ,I sawed the lines in-between the M shapes to give an antique look, I created an Oring using 1.2mm square wire in relation to the measured bottom of my setting then added a bar using the same wire across the bottom ,i drilled 0.9mm hole in the middle point of the bar ,I soldered my thin wire from the bottom avoiding excess wire. 

I melted my remaining metal used a rolling machine to roll my metal up to 2mm ,used my 925 stamp to stamp  the flattened cental of my metal and then i made my flat wedding band with a opened top part ,soldered using hard solder to join my claw on the top opened space of the ring ,began to use my sand disk to sand the solders and the fire scales ,then i polished my pieces

Design portfolio  Intent This concept combines innovative design, making it an attractive solution , this flower pot concepts give me a variety of ideas and contributes to my creative drive , this design is  stylish and gives modern looks.It is  easy to design and is very inspirational Manufacturing process in this filigree project i melted metal 20g of fine silver and i began to roll using a hand roller till the smallest measurements of the roller, went on to use the draw plates to create a square wire up to 1mm, i made a frame. I continued to draw the wire up to 0.3mm before twisting, I went to the bench motto and prepared wire for filigree ,i coiled my wire into the S shapes to, went on and used hard solder to solder my filigree one by one and made sure it is strong before bending. I used a dome plate to dome my piece and give it a semi-circle shape, with 1mm wire i made a Oring equivalent to the semi-circle, filled the Oring with filigree and capped the two sides with...

During this project I melted sterling silver ,began to roll the metal to 1.1mm then i used the dividers to make a circle according to the measurements given ,I pierced the circle out then went to use the dome block and the punch to dome a circle ,using my dividers I marked another circle 2mm down the given measurements I began to make little holes using the scrubber ,I drilled using 0.6 drill bit to make a small hole ,using the diamond bur I penetrated into the small circle to enlarge the hole, I pierced the center of my  piece then used a bigger diamond bur to penetrate a hole for the center stone  I marked using the scrubber in between the small holes followed by using my triangle filers to create a circular motion around the circles, I marked parallel with the holes and used a straight Frazer to make a line for the claws I made wire of 0,9mm for the claws and soldered them in the lines. I marked 1mm forward from the small holes and i drilled holes using a drill bit of 0.8mm...
