Put a ring on it



Robert and I are making each other's wedding rings!

Our friend Nikki is an amazing jewellery maker and has a room in her house full of files, hammers, saws, crazy chemicals and terrifying soldering guns.

These rings are our prototype ones - made of silver. We wanted something that looked "beaten". The real ones are going to be yellow gold I think, melted down from a couple of old rings that have been donated to us (!!)

It was SO fun making my ring, and I am very proud of it. I dont think I have an aptitude for jewellery making, there are so many little processes. But I did like filing. And my 'bangs' are pretty even. And I love the sound the metal made when you put it in the water to cool down.
