Argentium sterling silver and 14k gold.
 Spinner rings, outer band spins independently of the inner band. 
When I received a request for two special spinner rings, I'd never looked closely at a spinner ring before. Thus a new learning experience began. I contacted my friend, sometimes student, sometimes partner in adventure, to let her know we had a new challenge. After much research, a little trial and error, we conquered the challenge and produced a few good looking (and spinning) rings. The phrase that kept running through my mind was "all sorts of tricky"!  They turned out pretty nice, I think!

All set for final soldering. The solder has to flow under the top seam only. If it flows under the spinner, the entire project is scrap and must be started over, from the beginning, with new materials. The pressure is on!
