Here is a tip for making a split shank ring with regular wire from @ritualfemme - “Start with two rings same size, line up solder seams before binding together. Use stainless steel wire to bind the two rings together, stacked upon each other. Place in third hand and place small pallion of solder in the seam (more solder means a larger area that is joined, and your original solder seams should be lined up underneath the additional solder). Solder, then insert something to pry the open end of the rings apart (directly across from the joined ends) and all done :-)” Thank you so much for sharing this! We had so many people asking about making these I thought it wouldn’t hurt to show a few different techniques! 😉 I love that everyone has different ways of doing things, it gives us so much to learn from one another! Show us your ways! #communityovercompetition ❤️ #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #splitshankring
