Although I have never understood the need for jewelry to exist, brass because it will tarnish is not a good material for such a use.
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

Beautiful, thanks for that Kryn, i always enjoy watching a crastsman (or woman) at work.
His skill with the saw is pretty amazing and there's a few techniques there that could defiantly come in handy when making small components, not just jewlery.
Cheers,
Greg.

I was a bit disappointed in the video very basic skills involved plus a thinking a small lathe would’ve made life easier, and then you look closely at the finished ring and the subtle design is where it’s at.
The finished ring isn’t a regular section but tapers from bottom to top and the cross section is also interesting. The guys level of skill and design is just amazing.
I guess I was hoping he’d be hammering a smaller nut to a larger shape.
I have some titanium aircraft nuts and bolts I’d be interested in doing this too as I can’t find another use for them.

No reason you could not use Titanium it is just a 100 times more difficult to work with and you can't solder it you have weld it.
