Another pattern-wire ring. This pattern was taken from Western Scroll work often seen on belts and leather work, so I felt borders of twisted wire rope would be a perfect complement to it.

This shot was taken before I oxidized the piece with Liver of Sulfur to bring out the details, which really makes the pattern and rope borders “pop”.

Pattern wire can be a lot of fun to work with. However, I always like to give it a little something “extra” when I can.

In this case I took two hammered stacker rings of the same inner diameter needed and soldered them to the outside edges of some Western Floral pattern wire stock after it, too, had been formed into a ring. I then filed down the inside edges to round them slightly for an extremely comfortable ring to wear.

This picture was taken after the ring had been oxidized and polished, so you can easily see how the Liver of Sulfur patina can really make the designs in the pattern wire stand out.

Another Valentine’s Day gift. This one created in sterling silver with Tole Heart patterned wire that I bordered with twisted rope and slightly hammered down to make for a pretty comfortable ring to wear, and with a perfect theme for the day!
