I've spent the week so far experimenting with silversmithing. The results were pretty good, if I do say so myself...

My first attempt was the one in the middle. A hammered, woven band in 925 silver. (a bit ambitious for a first go, but very fun) The second attempt resulted in the other two, simple, hammered bands, also in silver. (I was playing with textures.) I can definitely see a series of stacking rings, with stones, and other details coming... ;)

My third attempt was an experiment in hammered silver bangle-making. I'm planning on doing a series of these with birthstones...
