delicate washer rings
sterling silver–steel–enamel–various sizes and colors
yeah..so i’m obsessed with enamelling washers lately. i bought a ton of binder clips from office max awhile ago..thinking that i would end up using them for something..don’t ask. anyhow, instead of actually using them i was inspired by their design. when you squeeze the steel part together you can detach it from the black clip part. anyhow..i thought it would be neat to have a ring that was springy like that..that you could squeeze to unhook from the washers..and switch out different colors. unfortunately..the properties of spring steel and sterling silver are pretty different…the silver is too soft to hold that kind of springiness. so…instead…for these pieces the silver is wrapped around the sides of the washer to hold it snugly. hmmmm….maybe i shouldn’t have tried to explain that. oh well. and yes…i could probably use a manicure..i know.
