Resizing a really old ring. Probably should have been remade but it has sentimental value to the client. #soldering #playingwithfire #gold
Soldered together, not quite round yet!
Filing the gold piece to match
All polished & done!
Another ring sizing. #playingwithfire

I have a master's in metalsmithing. With it, I went on to smith gold. Degrees and certifications in the metalsmithing world are out there.
