I've just finished my first metal smithing project for about 8 years It's a spinner ring (which I had no idea existed before making one), that I made to practice making rings and take part in an online monthly challenge - I'm finding they're quite good for giving me ideas of things to make! It's not perfect - I have no idea how to finish things properly, and you can see the solder joins, but I managed to find my way around the workbench again, and not snap a saw blade! So, a few positives! And I now can't stop spinning it...! Please do share your thoughts - particularly where I can make improvements Sami x

Looks nice. Hadn't heard of a spinner ring before. Sounds like a good convo starter.

I can't think of a single change or improvement that needs to be made. It's perfect just the way it is. Love the texture in the band and the mixed metals. Simply beautiful! Dawn

Looks nice. Hadn't heard of a spinner ring before. Sounds like a good convo starter. Thank you! When I was looking into what a spinner ring actually was, it turned out to be a ring, with another ring (or more) that sits on top and can move about freely. There are some really sophisticated looking spinner rings! They seem to be a version of a fidget spinner for adults, and other websites talked about them being helpful in managing anxiety and worry. When I used to have my office job, I'd constantly fiddle with my rings while I was thinking, so I think the spinner ring builds on the concept

Looks great to me. I also like the texture of the band, it reminds me of wood.
At my (only) silversmithing class two of the participants also made spinner rings with the help of our instructor, but all silver. I like the look of the mixed metals better!

This spinner ring is a beauty! I love the contrast between the textured ring and the thin one around it.
