I made FI's hammered rose gold wedding band today!

[Ganesha]

With much support (and an occasional borrowed strong grip) from FI, I made his wedding band!

I've made silver jewelry in the past (during student days) but have never worked with precious metals before. So when FI asked me to make him a rose gold wedding band, I laughed and said he was crazy. But the seed of an idea was planted! After several months of encouragement, I finally decided to buy the tools and materials I needed to give it a try. I have to say, I'm pleased with the results... and so is he, which is what really matters!

Next weekend we'll attempt a matching thinner band for me!
