GOBLET WITH CAPTURED RINGS

This project focuses on embellishing the simple goblet with rings from the same blank making the recipient ask, “How did they do that”? This is the kind of project that is simple to learn, but exponentially increases the aesthetics and value of your piece. It also makes the perfect symbolic wedding gift for any lucky couple. Rings can be integrated delicately into pens or kit handles, or added to goblets, candy dishes or turned piece with a stem.
