Being a student...

As a student, you realize there is actually no such thing as spare time. I have been wanting to make a piece with my name on it (silly, I know) since I started in jewelry. As cliche as it can be, I love bold gold jewelry with words in calligraphy. I imitated this style in 18 gauge brass by making a three finger ring with my name, Briana!

Although it is my job to break away from the ordinary, it is empowering to be able to effortlessly recreate a classic design seen almost everywhere, and by hand!!! 

This ring has 6 solder spots as you can see in the third image above. I found that with this three finger ring, I had to take it to the ring stretcher because when sharing three fingers at a time, the sizes actually have to be bigger than your usual sizes to allow for some movement; don't worry, it won't fall off! 

A lot of people question my regular use of brass. I love brass because it is inexpensive and it is my favorite yellow metal color, if not even more yellow in color than filled gold sometimes. Yes, it does turn your finger green, however that goes away after a few wears, and to me it is worth it.
