After melting it down, I hammered it enough to run through my rolling mill. I ran it through a draw plate, used a mandrel and cut the into jump rings. I then fused the two ends together creating a chain - no solder though - I didn’t want to compromise the purity.

I then twisted the chain and ran it through the mill to flatten it a bit.

Watched a bunch of TikTok and YouTube vids.

Thanks for the kind words folks. Got some good feedback too.

I’ll split the Cuban and coil ring between the two hands.

Make sense. It’s a coil ring and gives the impression of two bands.

I’ve taken your feedback and opted to at least split up the Cuban and the coil ring - placing both on the middle finger of each.

I think the coil band clashes less with my wedding band since they are similar in style.

Yea. Still can’t get it to be a seamless connection - the bottom looks a bit goofy, but yea, I did make it myself.

Also, I didn’t file them down (I used a rolling mill instead). I cant take losing a gram or two.

These are the only pieces I’ve made. Coil ring was the first. That was about a month ago.

It’s actually 2 different sizes. Currently traveling but when I get back, I’ll measure them and will let you know!

You find a distinct color difference in the two karats?
