As a fellow ring maker, out of bullion I must say it's incredibly beautiful,I only use a hammer and a lot of time.
I also don't sell mine I just ask for the price of the coin and make them, but it's not nearly as good as yours!

Nice!
Wouldn't buy one for myself, your large rings have more masculine appeal.
If my wife were interested in something like this I'd pay $50 or more.
It's unique and hand crafted, but hard to compete with offshore junk silver jewelry.
My wife makes silver jewelry as a hobby, she enjoys creating, the return for her effort is often only a couple of bucks an hour.
I'm sure you are well aware of this reality. Look at how many respondents are $20 or less.

Well from the poll it wold seem I am not cut out for the higher end Jewelry market lol. $20 barely covers the material and resources used to manufacture the ring. Back to folded rings and plain cut coins for me.

Looks like I was among the majority, voting at $20. I would go $50, if it was an overdate!

In Italy we prefer to preserve the coin and normally they will be "encased",
Probably I'd offer less the money that you need to do him.

People who are saying anything below 70.00 arent taking into account the workmanship that was put into it...

"People who are saying anything below 70.00 arent taking into account the workmanship that was put into it..."
that appears to be a global problem lol. I have people who want to pay less than 25cents for a cut quarter because its missing some metal. I thought it was a joke but its happened on more than one occasion. I believe its not that people don't take into account the time it takes its that they don't care. But then I never was much of a people person.

I prefer the folded rings myself, but this is still nice. I think it would be greatly enhanced with a stone or enamel background.
