This was for a very special custom asking for a brass heart, if possible. The thing is, it’s very hard to find ready made brass heart rings??? I have no idea why.

I had been wanting to start metal fabrication so this was a great opportunity for me. Metalworking is so very complex but the range of what you can do is so rewarding.

The Industry

December, 2014 Sterling Silver, Cubic Zirconias, Quartz The ring is 5cm tall. The big stone is: 3.1cm x 2.1cm x 5cm (HxWxD)

Some more old work.

This ring was part of a series of work where I made fun of the modern commercial jewelry aesthetic. The idea came from working within the jewelry industry for a time, and becoming acutely aware of just how gaudy and ugly a lot of rings were. The stones were incredibly important for those rings, and more often than not designs would be based around shoehorning the biggest rock they could into a particular ring. So, I decided to take this idea to its next logical extreme by setting a comically large stone on top of a massive band.

Here’s a snippet from the original artist statement:

It is an aberrant abomination which I hesitate to call a ring. It is an absurd joke befitting the mockery that I consider contemporary jewelry to be. It represents all the contempt which I hold towards the gem encrusted standard created by the likes of companies who care more about their bottom line than creativity. It is the next logical progression to the ungodly "centerpiece" gems which are so often the focal point of their jewelry items. It is absurd, it is comical, and it is how I view such jewelry.

[Insight]: 棟 Metalsmith Rahelif Forge 🎼

We're going to craft you some blades pirate-baby, yeeeeoh! Matter of fact, call em' history-smacking in the making. Remember though, any weaponry can only go as far, the wielder wills, the user being dull is equally a factor than a blade being such. In short, if you don't have a nurtured blazing soul equally sharp, you'll never pierce the unreachable heavens.

#Just gonna post rest of the insights forget the Q #Rather start Soul Journey later today #And light a fire underneath me #We are Tales #Insights #Metalsmith #Rahelif #FFXIV #Final Fantasy XIV #Screenshots #Gif #~insights~

🖤✨— During the past few weeks, I’ve been teaching myself how to solder, among other things such as fabricating bezels for necklaces from sterling silver sheet metal and wire. In the photo above, you’re actually looking at a memento I made for a good friend of mine - this is her dog (Biminis) blood casted with epoxy and set into the bezel! Biminis is still with us today, but this memento will be something to hold onto forever! I’ve also been experimenting with doing the same thing with ashes as memorial pieces for animals that have passed away. For those who might have questions, please feel free to DM me! This process is completely safe, and no animals were harmed in the making of this!—— .

Fabron - OC Gifted to @blind-the-winds

FC - Matthew McNulty

Fabron is a metalsmith, a magic wieldier who is able to use his powers to shape and form metal at will. He can create ornate armor that can withstand the perils of battle. It will retain its beaty through heavy abuse because of the mystical powers that he weaves into the craftsmanship of the pieces he creates. Each piece is meant to protect the wearer from harm, and also to indicate their status within the army. Unlike many cultures, within his, the less the armor shows signs of battle, the higher the soldier is thought to be in terms of status. Battle worn armor is the sign of someone of low station, and no one who wears Fabron's armor is ever thought to be of that.

Among Fabron's people, what class of mage you would be is determined around the age of 12. At that time, you are put through a series of tests to ascertain what your strongest attributes are. For Fabron, his were in metal bending and medicine. Although he wanted to be a healer, there were already those in his class who were more adept at healing, so he was moved into the metalsmith category. One of his mentors at the time instructed him to think of the pieces he created as being a type of preventative medicine. He was keeping the soldiers of their people from requiring the services of the healers, and the better he got at crafting the armor, the better protected the soldiers would be.

From then on Fabron studied all of his material hard. His goal was to become the best metalsmith that his people had ever seen. He would create and test many pieces, putting them through his own series of tests to see if they would survive. Even those pieces that were considered quality by the military were often considered inferior to Fabron. It was because of this that it was in no short time that he was the favored metalsmith of many of the elite guard.

It was several years after he had been working as a metalsmith to the army that Fabron suffered his first loss of a soldier. To this day he is not sure what was different about the way he wove and enchanted the helm for the soldier. What he missed or forgot when doing the work. Maybe he had been distracted, or the metal had been inferior and he missed it. In the end, it didn't matter what had been the issues, the soldier still perished in a violent and bloody battle.

While none of those who owned any of Fabron's armor doubted him, nor did any of those who were in queue to obtain armor from him. However, Fabron still felt the failure deep within his soul and from then forward, he would pour more of himself into each piece that he wove. More enchantments, more focus, more craftsmanship of all kinds. Also, before any piece was given to the soldier who would bear it, Fabron would test it personally, putting it through tests that even in battle it would not face. Only those pieces who passed would ever be given to a soldier. One loss was one too many for the metalsmith.

-armor is from various royal collection of Europe dating from 1500-1700A.D.
