No, I do not use 100% silver and I don't think it's possible to make something out of 100% silver, because it's too soft. In the class I am taking we use 95% silver and 5% copper (the copper makes the metal hard, so you can work with it, but does not discolor it).
Next time I make a ring I will take pictures of the step by step process and post them :) may be a while, because the next project is a pendent.
Are they pure 100% silver?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see pictures and descriptions of each stage in the process of making your silver rings.
