My own Silver Creations. Self-Thaught Silversmith. RAVENKING

A little bit more than a year ago I went on a small collection hunt for all the necessary materials I needed to start silversmithing at home. I love silver jewelry, from rings, to bracelets to earrings. I love it like a magician/pirate loves them, as power objects.

Which is why I decided to get into silversmithing in the first place, especially combined with my interest in gemstones and crystals, I felt drawn to make my own ring of power.

First of all here is my setup that I use for crafting my stuff. I am using the most essential tools that you must have, I lack a lot of the more expensive equipment that a professional silversmith would use. But it does the job for my level of the art for now.

Next to the white brick you can see my miniature flamethrowing pen torch. It burns hot enough to melt the silver and to make the silver solder flow properly. It is not enough to melt heavy and large chunks of silver for pouring into casted forms.

I have a special casting block which works with a form of clay-sand which you can use to make a mold to pour the silver into, but I lack the firepower to melt large enough quantities of silver hot enough to pour.

Next up my different creations that I've done so far!

This was one of the first rings I made, set with a dark labradorite gemstone. Depending on the angle it shines a brilliant yellow. Here it looks very much like a tiger eye gemstone, it isn't one though.

This is a Moonstone Ring I made, I love the shape of the stone. And also was very happy with the end result, testing it out in the second picture, a small ring as you can see it fits only on my pinky.

This is a bigger ring, it is set with a large beautifully deep blue radiating labradorite. The photos do not do the stone any justice in how it refracts the light in different electric shades of blue with slight hues of green. The green is not at all to be seen on the photos I tried to get it from an angle in which it would show up but couldn't make it happen.

Well this was my last photo for this post, if you enjoyed the post and would like to see more of my silversmithing work, then let me know, I can also post or stream myself in the process of making something if that interests anyone!

Much Love,
