Jewelry Making Semester Course (n.3)
This is signet ring in the making. As you can see it consists of 5 different parts, 2 are already soldered. It looks easy to put all this together but it takes a lot of precise work and time, a lot of filing and sanding.
Here is prepared metal sheet on wax and stick ready for stone setting exercise. On this sheet we drill holes and engrave lines and that is how we prepare the piece for setting stones.
I used blueprint when I was making earrings. They are hand constructed and Florentine style. This is the blue print.
Next step is to heat the wax with gentle flame so that the wax gets little softer. Then you can put the metal into it and that way seal it for engraving. In order to engrave you need a strong handle.
