I finished a new Damascus ring yesterday. I don’t know if it is as good as the previous ring I blogged about, did not get that “gut feeling”. I cut this seamless ring from a rod and not from a flat billet like my previous ring. The pattern of the birds eye runs length wise and when you cut a 6mm piece from the rod you don’t have much that shows the best pattern, especially if you make a wedding band with a flat profile, you could end up with a lot of stripes, not nice.
This ring shows off the birds eye pattern no matter how it is worn. It is after all the pattern that makes the ring.
I shaped the ring such that it looks like the metal was hit with an ax and the metal split open, showing it’s inside, red blood, I mean a red ruby. The ruby clips in place and gets all the light that makes it sparkle.
