Description

Sterling silver ring. The shank was made using the cuttlebone casting method: [link]

This project was my first time casting anything using cuttlebone and I am really quite pleased with the results. You can get some really beautiful shapes using this material.

This looks like a really neat idea! I saw a comment on another of your rings suggesting that you made them by casting a flat strip and then shaping/curling it. I'm not really set up to solder stuff, but I'd be interested to see how well something like this would work with pewter, just with a gap in the ring or overlapping ends. The impression of the cuttlebone certainly looks more impressive when it's not laid out flat.
