Is it meant to look like that?

(I have never done much metalwork and have no idea how tricky it is)

Heh, I just looked at it and thought, "I bet's that what I'd get if I tried to make a simple wedding band". Didn't even know sawing as such was involved!

Silversmithing is something I've thought about giving a go but have absolutly no idea of how to go about it

Where are you doing it? I did some at the Howardian centre a while back which was fun. I miss it in fact.

can you start learning how to make piercing jewellery as well, there's some stuff i just can't find or get people to make.

The only hard bit I could forsee would be if you wanted to put a screw thread on to anything, I think silver's a bit soft to do that.

Incidentally, watch out if you decide to make piercing jewellery from silver and any other metal (eg stainless steel or titanium), two different metals + sweat = battery, which isn't a pleasant thing to be wearing (and it corrodes really quickly too).

That looks very cool, I've always wanted to try making my own - as I'm quite fussy about jewelry - sadly though I'm too lazy to actually do anything that's remotely like work though :)

The only questions are: does text show-up on it when you put it into a fire?

Very cool.
Silversmithing is something I want to do at some point - but at the moment I leave that line of business to [livejournal.com profile] tode
