Day 84 : Work 84. Is it always so hard to make rings (2)?

I think it is not always easy to achieve originality of the design when it comes to make rings. Especially considering comfortableness and convenience of wearing but not conventional familiarity I need to stretch my technical skills and knowledge further. This will be a proper goal as to become a proper jeweller at least, which seems still huge mission for me. I have some ideas and plans to accomplish this mission but in this unusual isolation encouraged society and culture it won’t be an overnight happening task.

One good idea occurred to me recently was utilising my bangle designs. They have some similarity of wearing on the body- on the finger through the finger to on the wrist through the hand and if I can use proper size and materials such as gold or silver instead of mildsteel for bangle it will be fun to play with.
