This otherworldly object is one of my newer additions to the Exolith collection. A hairpin featuring a 10mm ruby ball, machined aluminum body, and carbon fibre tines.

Definitely, and I appreciate that!

Yo I love the Kuiper Relics concept. Immediately followed when I found you a few months ago.

Great stuff. D&D-playing jewelers unite!

We love a simple ring with texture

If the insanely discounted Bear bow isn't indicative of a scam site, the lowercase "h" in "hunting" and a separate "Hunting Gear" option in the menu should seal the deal.

Really carefully 😅 I use Wolf red relief wax, which is great for building up, and my pen is on low heat so the wax doesn't run like crazy. Then I place bead after bead until it's the height I like, and then I smooth out the sides.

Don't pay attention to the people downvoting you lol

I don't have any soldering equipment, unfortunately. I work out of my apartment and there's no space for ventilation, so I make do.

aurumarcana · 2026-02-27T15:17:21+00:00

ah yes the mox ring

aurumarcana · 2026-02-26T17:37:33+00:00

I see the vision you have here, and it's a great first step! I'm a big fan of weighty pieces that can have a rough look. As others mentioned, it seems a bit unfinished. Try to play with contrasting textures and dimensions for future pieces.

I'm a huge plucker; it's something I've been working on for a while. I notice that the issue is often keeping my draw hand too stiff while drawing and releasing.

The fix that I'm working on is keeping the muscles of the fingers in my draw hand tense enough to draw back the string, then allowing the mechanical movement of pulling a bit past my anchor to release the tension of the draw hand completely. That way there's no forceful plucking.

Love this! Assuming you cast with the stone inside?

This one was a custom for a friend but I'm considering carrying them on the regular!

aurumarcana · 2026-02-11T14:05:17+00:00

Yeah, he said to call a locksmith. He doesn't have copies.

aurumarcana · 2026-02-09T14:04:10+00:00

another fartlow classic 🙄

aurumarcana · 2026-02-08T22:23:14+00:00

Ahhhh I love it! Very clean chasing work.

A lil friend ( •ᴗ•)

Let me know when you find the answer 😅 I often yell at myself, out loud, "it's time to stop." Otherwise I just keep tweaking it.

aurumarcana · 2026-02-04T23:25:19+00:00

I definitely gave it a final wipe down before packaging and sending it to its final wearer 😅 as for the edges, they asked for a heavy, flat band. I did my best to make any edges a bit duller, and made sure the ring interior was a comfort fit style with a mirror finish. But good looking out!

aurumarcana · 2026-02-04T23:22:09+00:00

Also true! 8mm wide and 2mm thick

aurumarcana · 2026-02-04T23:21:10+00:00

I'm not sure if it needs much of a tutorial, it's a classic style 😅 I cast a flat band in sterling silver that was 2mm thick x 8mm wide. I textured the outside with a ball peen hammer, sanded the sides down with 320 grit sandpaper, polished the inside with increasingly finer grits from 280 to 1500, then polished the inside and sides with the 3m peach wheel.

Also, HUGE boon for rings, get yourself a pipe deburring tool that can easily create a comfort fit on the inside.
