Roller Printed and Riveted Ring

I thought I would post a couple of pics of a ring I just finished up. You can read more about it on my other blog: Brian Coffey/Metalsmith, where I have my jewelry work. I have been working quite a bit on different projects and am also in the process of building up stock at my new Etsy store.

Cuttlebone Cast Sterling Silver Ring

Here is a ring that I recently posted for sale on my new Etsy store. I made the top portion of this ring by making a mold in a piece of cuttlefish bone and then formed the metal before soldering it onto the ring shank that I fabricated. I like the look of the concave top in comparison to the flat topped rings like this that I have made in the past.

Sterling Silver Cup Bracelet

I have been getting some stock together to have on my etsy store and realized that I had this bracelet hidden away in my shop. I thought I would post a picture here because sometimes people that come to this page don't realize I have another blog for my jewelry at Brian Coffey / Metalsmith.

This bracelet is approximately 7 1/2" long and is made from 3/4" sterling silver discs that were formed and have each been accented with 2 grains of sterling silver. The catch is also handmade by myself. This bracelet has a burnished finish for easy care.
