Sea Waves Ring

Start with three simple hammered rings and combine them in a fun, wavy ring!

About the Class

The Sea Waves Ring takes three simple hammered rings and transforms them into a flowing wave design, creating a beautiful wide ring that is surprisingly comfortable to wear. As each ring is shaped by hand, no two finished pieces are ever exactly the same.

In this class, you’ll learn how to shape and form the rings so they sit together comfortably while still keeping their organic, wave-like movement. Along the way, we’ll look at tips for achieving an even hammered texture, shaping the rings neatly, and creating a design that feels balanced and comfortable to wear.

This project is a lovely way to build confidence with ring making techniques while creating a piece that looks much more complicated than it really is.

All equipment and material requirements are discussed in the class, and downloadable lists are included. An understanding of the techniques covered in the Simple Hammered Rings class is assumed.

The Sea Waves Ring class is part of the Intermediate Jewellery Making series, which builds on the techniques taught in the Jewellery Making for Beginners classes. You can also purchase the full series as a course bundle, which is a great way to build your skills steadily while saving money compared to buying the classes individually.
