The making process of handmade silver ring: melting silver.

Any exquisite silver ornaments should be made of molten silver. First, put the broken silver into a small crucible, and heat the broken silver in the crucible with a welding torch. At the same time, adding a little borax will dissolve the oxide on the surface of silver, make silver more pure and help silver melt quickly. Borax should be added several times. The melting point of silver is 960℃. When the silver in the crucible is heated to a high temperature above 960℃, the silver begins to melt. Make melted silver into silver pieces for later use.

Silver platen

Flatten the melted silver hammer and put it into a tablet press. The tabletting process should be repeated, thinner every time, and finally the silver material should be pressed into silver pieces with a thickness of about two millimeters. Cut the silver piece into a rectangle one centimeter wide with scissors.

The pressed silver sheet is annealed. Annealing is to slowly heat the silver material made of molten silver to a certain temperature with a welding gun and ensure enough time. Used to remove the rigidity of silver itself, its purpose is to improve the plasticity and toughness of silver materials and make the chemical composition of silver materials uniform.

Winding the annealed silver sheet on the ring iron, making it into the shape of a ring according to the size of a finger, cutting off excess silver with scissors, and welding the ring. Put the cooled ring on the ring iron and beat the ring with a hammer to make it more round. After polishing the inside of the ring with a suspension grinder.

Boiled silver

Put the welded ring in water with alum to boil silver. Alum, commonly known as alum, has strong adsorption, does not react with silver, and can wash away impurities, making silverware appear whiter. Boiling the ring with heated alum water can remove impurities left on the ring during welding, and also dissolve borax used during welding to improve the purity of jewelry. Take out the silver ring and polish its surface for the second time with hanging mill. Next, we will do some decorations for this ring. We need to use silver thread, which is drawn by silver bars.

Draw into silk

Take out a thin silver bar and file one end of the silver bar with a file. Take out the wire drawing plate. The main purpose of the line drawing board is to draw silver lines. Put the polished end of the silver bar into the lower end of the wire drawing plate. Clamp the silver bar at the upper end of the wire drawing plate with pliers and pull it out hard. The diameter of the round hole on the wire drawing plate decreases in turn, and the drawn wire is thin and symmetrical. If you want to draw the required thin silver line, you need to draw lines repeatedly on holes with different diameters.

Fix the ring on the welding plate with a gourd clamp and anneal the silver wire. Weld one end of that silver wire with the middle position of the circular re, and winding the silver wire on both sides of the circular re in turn. In the process of coiling, the silver beads are threaded on the silver thread and coiled on the ring. The design and production of each piece of silver jewelry has certain significance. The significance of this work is: slender silver lines are like flowing streams, bypassing the barriers of pebbles and flowing between fingers. Put the wrapped silver thread in order to avoid loosening. Cut off the excess silver thread with scissors. Use needle-nosed pliers to collect the silver thread ends into the silver beads. And proper welding is carried out to fix it. Put the arranged ring into heated alum water to remove impurities.

Finally, brush it with a copper wire brush repeatedly. In this way, a fashionable and personalized ring is made.
