These rings denote membership in the exclusive Watcher's order and connect wizards to their memories of a world long forgotten.
The game is a massive MMORPG based on the community-driven lore of the Forgotten Runes collection. It's a world full of !MAGIC, wizards, creativity and community.

Their Twitter is also full of cool details too:

The ring itself was made with titanium which I machined and polished to perfection. It was then anodised and decorated with pinstripes and runes!
#ringmaking #titanium #forgottenruniverse
The ring was to contain fur and feathers from the dog’s favourite pillow in a secret compartment and feature a paw design.
For this tricky ring I sawed, stamped and soldered 3 individual pieces in sterling silver. I was able to create an outer shell with a recess inside and the inner liner.
With all the pieces fabricated I inlayed the fur and feathers inside and expanded the inner ring out to complete the piece.
I hope I did those beautiful girls proud and their owner can always keep them close to her heart.
The inside was hand engraved with the message “Nowhere you could go that I won’t be with you”.

What is a spinner ring I hear you ask? Well it's a type of ring with a moving element that allows you to play or fidget with it. Some people say they help with anxiety, others just like having something to occupy their fingers (the devil makes work for idle hands!).
Typically spinner rings are made with precious metals like silver or gold and require a fair amount of skill to produce by hand. For this piece I used sterling silver sheet and wire to create the core, and then made a Damascus steel ring as the captive spinner.
This silver spinner ring has a lovely kinetic action as the spinning Damascus steel ring moves freely. The combination of contrasting materials and finishes also makes the piece both tactile and unique.

I love making pieces that are all rustic and hammered (I guess they are a bit like me in many respects haha). This is different from my usual clean style, but hammered jewellery can be very forgiving and fun to make.
The finished piece makes a great statement necklace and is sure to attract compliments to the wearer - this makes pendants like this great products to sell or give as gifts.
I hope you learn a lot from this tutorial, see you at the bench!
--- Blue Lace Agate ---
The star of the show for this pendant was a stunning Blue Lace Agate cabachon. Not only was the stone gorgeous but it was also my favourite shape for a cabachon (almost tooth shaped!).
--- Silver Sheet ---
For the backing plate of the bezel setting I used a piece of 0.7mm sterling silver sheet but you can use thicker if preferred. I buy my sheet silver from Cookson Gold:
cooksongold.com/Sheet/-Alloy=Silver_Sheet/-Thickness=0/-Type=0/&prdsearch=y
--- Fine Silver Bezel Wire 5mm x 0.3mm ---
This Fine Silver Bezel Strip, also known as bezel wire, is traditionally used for making Rubover or or Cabochon settings. This fully annealed strip measures approximately 5mm wide x 0.3mm thick and can also be used to create flat rings and short cylinders without the need to pierce from larger sheet.

---TOOLS + MATERIALS---
Dichrolam is a Dichroic film material which produces a crazy array of colours. It's hard to capture how beautiful these materials look on camera: The sheets look across between dichroic glass and anodised titanium! Dichrolam comes in a variety of patterns that are made to mimic wood figures and burls.

Where to buy Dichrolam:

---WOOD VENEER FOR BENT WOOD RINGS---
To make bent wood rings you need to use unbacked/raw wood veneer around 0.6mm thick. This is commonly used in marquetry and should be available in most countries.
UK: amzn.to/3F3FRBJ
Or thewoodveneerhub.co.uk
US: amzn.to/3zMMbtK
Or woodcraft.com/products/wood-identification-kit-veneer-sample-pack-50-piece
Australia/Everywhere else:
Search Amazon/Ebay/Google for "Marquetry Wood Veneer".
--- FINGER SAVER TOOL ---

This ring took me about 2 hours with a few special tools, but this could be made entirely without power tools. I want to show you that you can make valuable wooden rings without investing an arm and a leg for tools, so I hope this tutorial helps.
The pen was finished with Cut n Polish and their Microcrystalline wax.
Turned out beautiful!
