Description
Sterling silver ring 2 parts - spinning part- two unicorns horn to tail inverted (one facing up the other down) against a stained black background - base ring 1 mm thick with 5 mm thick rim - braided- inspired by mythical stories of elves and my own family crest - for real - french monarchy - delannoy- two unicorns - yes i have blue blood - but nowadays,the free world is where it's at! internet rules. dudes!!!! viva la evolution! hehehe.no but seriously - i love fairytales and if i was a scout set to guard on the outskirts of a hidden Forest Elf Kingdom with keen senses and wisdom of a thousand years faithful to what is good and true and loving my home and my people - with healing abilities and faster and deadlier reflexes than any assassin - this is what my ring would look like.Related content

Ohh, you are so welcome!
I really can't state enough how much I love the idea and the actual piece.
How did you menage to round them to fit the rest of the ring so perfectly? There really seem like they are soldered to the bottom. But it is not hard to imagine them spinning.
Adorable!
And yes, you should definitely go on!

first you make the base ring to the size you want - then you saw a flat piece of silver (or any other metal) to the shape of the unicorns measured from tail to tail the length of a strip of paper that encompasses the base ring - bend them into a ring shape - after heating of course - and solder - then gently hammer into a perfect ring shape on a ring anvil and hope it fits - if it doesn't you and stretch it a little till it does - a tight fit but not to tight just to fit exactly - and it will spin - then you can either bend the base ring out to keep it from slipping off - or like i did here - the base ring has a rim - first one side - then slip on the spinning ring - then solder on the other side rim and that's it - of course lot's of cleaning and filing and then the staining to make the unicorns stand out on a black background. yes they spin - they really spin.

Thank you!
I thought this is how it is made but I just wannted to give you a compliment because the spinning ring fits the base perfectly.
And I'd love to see the little unicorns spin!
