Description Test to see if my "Date taken" works properly.

Alterations of my Cast Ruby Ring experiment.


Description:

I got inspiration from a book my sweetheart bought for me recently. This ring I made by pressing a ring into a sand cast mold and remove it, press a stone into te groove, seal up and pour in Silver in the mold.



Very lovely, very random!
A lot of extra work when evening it and removing the cast channels, but absolutely worth it.

If you want to try this, make sure you use a stone that won't explode from the heat.

I was too eager with this , hurried the cooling process and the stone cracked.

Was this an investment casting? Excellent use of the square Ruby.

Updated the description. No idea what the technique is called, though
