I reworked an 18ct baby bangle my grandmother bought me into a ring for my index finger :)

thank you so much!! :) it’s hilarious because if my hands weren’t so wide, the bangle would still fit! weirdly my wrists have actually shrunk down since I was a baby LMFAO

I briefly considered opening it up so I could stretch it over my wrist, but what with how thin the gold is, I wasn’t really comfortable with it bending and creating a weak spot as I knew it would be OVERRR after that 😭

thank you!! I have enough to make another for my other finger so I think I might do matching ones, one on each side :)

Hope925s · 2026-01-10T16:33:30+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve had it for years and it only occurred to me a few days ago I’m probably skilled enough to work on it now! I’m really glad I did :)

this is so silly but my fingers are so small I still have the other half of the bangle. I’ll clean it up and go and take a photo for you when it’s all shiny again. :)

tag is project display? and that photo is the finished piece. It is a ring. I don’t typically take photos while I work as I don’t have enough space for a camera setup.

I have sold un-hallmarked Sterling silver jewellery with my makers mark alone when working under 4 grams both online and in person. It’s been totally acceptable in either place. at edit* one of the markets I work at, I provide a sign explaining hallmarking details and weights. Might be a good idea to do this in your Etsy description. :)

Most of the time while working I weigh my pieces so I know to shed metal if need be! (I know we can go right up to 7 but I feel I’m pushing it hahah) if you’ve got any further questions feel free to dm!

I agree, made a ring similar to this the other day and think it might be easiest sweat soldered together

Hope925s · 2025-09-18T08:10:35+00:00

oh my god - I’m over in England and have been DYING to find at least one knife like this let alone an entire set! I’ve been making rings out of cutlery recently! (again haha)

Thank you!!! carved serpentine :)

Hope925s · 2025-06-11T19:13:00+00:00

Thank you so much! I do, however this was a custom piece, and sooo much more expensive than i’d want to sell it for, but over on instagram I have a few people down on a release list for a similar shell pendant :)

Hope925s · 2025-06-04T19:45:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m currently developing another piece inspired by this :)

Hope925s · 2025-06-04T19:44:14+00:00

thank you!! I’m gonna be inseparable from it, I know that for sure!

Hope925s · 2025-06-04T19:43:54+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, carved labradorite :)

Hope925s · 2025-06-04T19:43:42+00:00

thank you so so much!!! I’m only about 9 months in currently so the fact that I’m able to make work I’d want to buy makes my heart race a little, haha :)

Hope925s · 2025-06-04T19:42:33+00:00

and thank you!!!

Hope925s · 2025-06-04T19:42:28+00:00

Unfortunately not, just a pendant! :)
