I’m sharing a behind the scenes look at some unfinished pattern rings that are on my very messy bench this week. I enjoy sharing things in progress on my jewelry bench.
Behind the scenes you get a chance to see creative possibilities in progress and creative possibilities as they evolve . There’s a kind of magic (and tons of hard work) in transforming raw materials into something beautiful.
As abstract expressionist Williem DeCooning said, “Process is everything” , even at a jewelry bench.
3 sterling silver rings in a raw state. Look below of the finished pieces.
A pattern ring with patina shows lots of detail. It’ now ready for polishing.
