The finished ring!

The week before reading week turned out to be the last few days I could use the jewellery workshop for as they were moving the whole department down a room- plus Malcolm wouldn't be in for the week after reading week and so I had to finish off my ring on the Wednesday. Unfortunately, Malcolm finished at 4 and my elective started from half 4 til half 7 so Malcolm suggested I sneak into the later jewellery class to finish it off.
It was a very busy class but did manage to bag myself a space and sort out the pegs that would clip my piece of acrylic into place.
I had to half bend the pegs over the acrylic to see how much I needed to cut off and then carefully drew a line where I needed to saw. After I had sawed off each peg to the right size I then used a fine file to get rid of the sharp edges and used the pliers to bend the copper back around the acrylic.
