Featured Silver Ring Workshop

-Forging- As an important basic technique for metalworking, from shaping to surface texture, the metal is repeatedly hammered to continuously extend it until it reaches the desired shape. In the ring making process, different shapes of metalworking hammers are used to learn how to use angles and forces to create different visual effects for each ring.

-Twist- Twisted rings have always been a popular style, with a subtle sense of endless interweaving. As a basic metalworking technique, the ring is made by repeatedly rotating around the center of the material to create different visual effects. The texture distribution is even, simple and unified, but the overall look is elegant, delicate and orderly.
