This tutorial shows how to create one nice variation of a bypass ring.
For this one, I bezel-set a 7 mm Swiss Blue Topaz for a stunning centerpiece to a classic ring design. I would categorize this as an intermediate project. The materials I used were: 18 gauge sterling round wire, 10 gauge sterling square wire, and 3/16 inch fine silver bezel strip in 26 gauge. As always, I am using Hard silver sheet solder, and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande. This tutorial features the steps to making a bezel for a faceted stone as well.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!
