A simple and affordable way to make a silver ring with a nut shell and stone will be discussed in this article with the help of a master. Moreover, all these operations are not even accessible to a professional, and the machines can be replaced by manual processing. To make the ring you will need the following
Tools and materials:
-Sterling silver;
- Walnut veneer;
-Decorative rock;
- Jigsaw;
-Gas-burner;
-Pliers;
-Salt solution;
-Flux;
-Solder;
-Frame;
- mallet;
-File;
-Sandpaper;
-Rule;
-Scalpel;
-Super glue;
-Spray activator;
-Nadfil;
-Silver wire;
-Super glue;
-Lathe;
-Drilling machine;
-Vise;
-Tweezers;
-Wooden skewer;
Step One: Silver Plate
The master had a silver plate. Cuts off a strip of the desired length from it (inner diameter of the ring + plate thickness * by 3.14).
For further processing, it is necessary to heat the strip.
Bends the ring.
Step Two: Soldering
Dips the ring in saline.
Then he puts the ring seam down on the bar. A flux is placed on the seam, then solder. Heats the junction.
After soldering, the ring is again placed in saline.
Step Three: Fitting, Processing
Heats the ring again. Then it adjusts the size on the mandrel.
Sand the ring first with a file, then with sandpaper.
Step Four: Veneer
Slices a strip of veneer.
Pastes veneer on the outer surface of the ring. After gluing, veneer is ground to silver.
Step Five: Silver Wire
It cuts a groove in the veneer.
Glues a silver wire into the groove.
Grinds.
Step Six: Cover
Covers the outer surface with super glue. Apply it in several layers. Between the layers it uses a spray activator (prevents the appearance of bubbles, turbidity).
Seventh step: stone
Drills a hole in veneer (before silver). Glue a stone into the hole.
Grinds the surface again.
Fits a hole for the diameter of the pebble.
Glues a stone in the hole.
Wipe off excess glue.
The ring is ready.
