Fusing Silver Wire- I made a Silver Zig Zag Lightning Bolt Ring!

This week I created a fused silver zig zag lightning bolt ring for the first time!
I got the idea from my mother in law who mentioned it to me recently that she's noticed these dainty little rings on her friends pinkies.
It took a couple tries but my second one looks pretty good!! 🎉🎉🎉
It looks like a "Z" to me! Yay!
Enjoy!

    This ring is cute. Also, if you can use other metals, the color combinations will amaze you. I do earrings with different wire. It is surprisingly easy how adding just tiny bits & pieces of metal will give a “WOW” feature.

    I loved watching you make this ring-and several others! I love learning new things like this and you inspired me to order some silver wire and try it out! The zig zag ring and its meaning: I wanted to know what it meant-or symbolized so I googled it. The meaning of wearing a Z or zig zag ring is not so nice. I don't know what prompted me to look it up ...but you may want to read it as well. I was very surprised. I do not think there was any ill will intended when you made this, please know I appreciate your videos very much! Still beautiful-thank you

    Such a beautiful and sleek design. I hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions. What were the four bits you used on the dremel? Also did you use any polishing compounds to polish the ring? And what compound did you use in the tumbler and did you use shot in the tumbler? Also did you use square, half round or round wire?

    Thank you! I used a Rio grande polishing kit. Not sure the grit between the black, blue and pink. Just used stainless steel shot and used round wire.
