Cast sterling ring with added granulation
Today was a slight cheat-- the blank for this ring was cast two years ago but never finished. I had to relearn (ah...relearning a skill is a skill unto its own!) using a burr to create a seat for a stone. More practice is necessary yet! Luckily I have have many more cast blanks ready to be sweated over.

This somewhat freeform ring was originally sculpted in wax, then lost wax cast in argentium sterling. The fine silver granulation I added today, but they aren't placed properly to be able to use them as prongs. Luckily, there are may more days to March in which I can try that!
