Jewelry Journey: Next Was Rings

We Are Ashley Davis Designs

I went shopping at Michael's
and found some ring bands on sale.
They were so reasonably priced
that of course I had to buy them!
I got home and said,
"What in the world am I going to do with these?
I don't know how to make these."
I made a few and eventually took them apart.

I wasn't too pleased with the results.

After trying every variation

that I could and eventually found one I liked.

I made about 20 rings

and to my surprise

I actually sold a few.

I continued to experiment
and to find more jewelry findings.
I had a variety of rings for people who like different styles.
One day when I was looking at jewelry online,
I found out that wire wrapped rings were a thing.

I had no clue that making rings like that required a mandrel.
I tried making them using just my fingers.
That was an epic fail.
I began to use a highlighter
and was finally able to make one.
Yet again, I ended up hooked.
In less than 24 hours, I had made almost 36 rings.
