i'm studying to be a silversmith, decided to make my own version of a one-size-fits-all hinged ccp ring (can't afford the real thing) here are some of the stages (sorry about the instagram filters)
what i'm attempting to make
cutting strips
followed by sanding down sides and corners + drilling holes for rivets
adding the hammered rivets
after these rivets were added I wrapped the piece around a mandrill to add the last 2
Finished piece :
I'm happy with it, though it doesn't move that smoothly
Thinking of blackening it and sanding it down more after that to get the effect like that of the original
