Making A Tree Branch Ring with Turquoise: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to create a whimsical and fun type of ring with an organic tree branch style. This particular piece features a small abstract asymmetric turquoise cabochon. I would categorize this as a beginner project. The materials I used were: 6 gauge sterling half round wire, 14 gauge sterling round wire, and 16 gauge sterling round wire. As always, I am using Hard silver sheet solder, and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project?
