Metal Smithing Update

Here's what I'm currently working on. The silver ring on the right is complete and the other 2 just need some pickle and polish. The bezel needs to be worked more around the stone. The all silver ring at the very top was over heated and the metal silver melted in places, I'll see if I can so something with it. The other pieces are paper collage with resin. I'm finally mastering the art of bringing the edges of rings together and being able to file and finesse them so they meet with a straight edge to ensure a successful solder. Whew. So there you have a preview of the almost completed work!
