Melt the silver scrap and make heavyweight rings

We will make heavyweight silver ring from silver scrap.
I will mold molten silver with a spatula.

I named the creative silver ring "objet ring"

Generally, the reason for "melting silver" is mostly to put it in a "mold" to pour into a mold or to make a material such as a rectangular material. However, by slightly lowering the melting temperature, silver becomes sherbet-shaped. Whatever you do, silver in a completely molten state gathers by surface tension, but sherbet-like silver can be twiddled with a spatula in many ways. Taking advantage of its characteristics, we extend molten silver to a length of over 60 mm to make the ring prototype.

The connection after rounded will be "jointly attached". "Collaboration" is a thing that melts and combines the silver of the main body. On the other hand, "brazing" is a method of melting just "brazing filler metal" and bonding it without melting the main body.

The subsequent work will be done in the same way as other silver workmanship, but the work characteristic of the way of making itself is more original.


In addition to the explanatory note, observe the state of the ring making carefully, grasp the thread saw, file, hammer, ruther how to move, how to move, how to rhythm of the file and hitting work, the number of times and the quality of the sound If you can, I think you can grasp the points of each work.


It is a video from Japan.
I write commentary using translation software.
I am sorry if there is a mistranslation.


[Silver is important to keep (polish) than maintenance]

· Measures against darkening of silver: Since the time for silver accessories and rings to stay longer than the time they are on is longer, the method of storage is important.
Since the sulfur content is also contained in the air, when putting it in place, put it in a plastic bag with a chuck or a tupper of kitchen utensils and seal it so that it reacts only with a very small amount of sulfur in the sealed Because it does not yellowing can also be prevented.
· Shine cloth: If you rub it with "Silver Shine Cross" sold at 100 yen shop, it will shine.
· Liquid: Silver Clean (sold at accessory shop). Liquid type is effective when you want to remove darkness to the back of chain or fine workmanship.
After immersing in the liquid in the bottle for a few seconds, rinse with water and wipe off moisture with a soft cloth (soaking time = strict observance of instructions).
