Inspiration on handmade silver rings

My first inspiration post!

As some of you may know already I am taking an evening course in jewellery making at Leeds College of Art and Design. So far I have tried working in both copper and silver, and I must say that silver is my favourite, even though it's more difficult to work in. (I accidentally melted my first attempt of a silver ring while trying to solder it... oops!)

My first ever ring was just a plain copper ring, and the first one I made in silver was also just a plain one. My next step is to do something more creative (=more complicated) and I've started making a ring in silver that goes around the finger 2-3 times with swirly ends. We'll see how it turns out. I promise I'll keep you posted :)

For now, here is some inspiration on handmade silver rings. Hopefully these will get my creativity going.

Although I have put these selected images together they do not belong to me, and if any of them are yours and you wish to have it removed, please just drop me an email to say so.
