Sizing a Wax Ring Up or Down

GIVEAWAY CLOSED congrats to @thenumberthirteen 🔥🔥 When you need to size a wax ring up or down use this genius tip from @emilieshapirojewelry - “To size a ring down in wax, take away 1mm for every half size. So if you have a size 6.5 and need to go down to a five, cut out a 3mm section with an x acto knife and adhere the ring back together with a hot tool and some build up or scrap wax. To size a ring up, cut the ring open and add the correct amount of material. “ this is just one of the amazing tips from Emilie’s book “Creative Wax Carving” and to celebrate Metalsmith Society reaching 15,000 followers Emilie is giving away a copy of her book! 🙏🏻 to enter:
