For my ring made out of tubing, I started with 6 mm sterling silver tubing. Amy let me borrow her tubing cutter - which I might add is the coolest tool EVER - and I sawed the tubing into pieces that are about 1.5 mm thick. I originally wanted this ring to be a double finger ring, wrapping around the fingers like the image of the mold below. However, the whole process of cutting the tubing and soldering them together took way longer than I had anticipated. So as of right now, it is only a one finger ring. I hope to add more to it tomorrow and stick it in the tumbler with steel shot to get it nice and shiny.
