My hobby - Ring made from a copper coin Guns + GoldsteemCreated with Sketch.

in guns •  7 years ago 

Very heavy and solid ring in a width of 15 mm made of one ounce of copper coin.
The ring was then stained in acid 10 microns silver (fine silver 99% and a hardness of 120 HV), artificially aged and then the lettering was polished and finally polished on high gloss.

nice rings

That came out awesome, did you use a press or something?

A hole is made in the center of the coin and then reworked with various shapes. on youtube you can find many videos if you are looking for coinring.

I like how it retains so many features from the coin, do you use a machine or just a hammer and forms?

Good eye!
