The Double Wending purpose ring

Hallo instructables....

In this session i will show you how to make yours DIY Wedding of Engagement ring by your hands and your heart. Today I made 2 different type of rings but all for the same purpose.
Actually both rings it's a gift to my wife for her devotion and her tireless love for me in our 10th anniversary on 23th of July (in 2 days). One ring for the anniversary and one more for her birthday (same day). We choose it to married at this spaecial day as a gift to her and is practical for me for many reasons....lol
The matterials for jewelery and special for metal is a crucial issue. Cause many people suffering of alergies on the touch of some metals, you must ask the receiver if has any pathology with common jewelery metals (like Gold, Silver) and if you use any other matel you have to ask also.

So now lets grab the materials

Step 1 Basic metal and Materials

First of all we choose the metal we gonna work with. Here i choose gold for the first ring. Gold is countered by carats....or modern unit in grades here you may finf some useful info about the value of gold in this unit and what exactly means...For my double ring i choose 750 grades gold equal to 18 carats. Its very yellow color is ideal for that kind of ring and nice accompanient by the tiger stone i choose. The metal of the other ring is a mixture of Silver and Τin in a ratio of 80 silver/20 Tin (Sn). This gives a nice silver sanded color. Both metals are bought in form of flattern wire of 3mm. You may also buy them in pellets but you need flame torch and other tools more professional to give a form of the ring. Usualy they melt these pellets and pure them in liquid form in the matrix that represents the basic concept of the jewelery.....too much work.

10-15 gramms of Gold is ok for one ring....that means a lenth of 7-10cm in the wire form.....price...appx 52 USD
20-30 >>>>>>>>>Silver>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3    USD
Sn (tin) metal is really cheap no worth to mention it.
A gemm stone.....mine is the famous Tiger Eye Amber....................................................................................appx  160 USD for a nice stone of  15mm X 3mm
 TOOLS..............................................
Small Hammer
A hard metal cylinder like a piston or an axles token from my old  motorcycle.
a pair of pliers to manipulate the wires in the form you wish.
Some hot glue
Some Very accurate power glue for jewelery purpose.....bottle of 5ml.....apppx 20 USD

And  Some good music to find your mood...

Just to clarify in Europe and round the world I believe 24 carat gold is pure gold - Much jewellery is made from 18 carat or 9 carat gold which is an alloy of gold and other metals, silver and copper often.
