How to Contrast a Silver Coin Ring - Patina Finish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2014
- Some coin rings are so cool, that you want to really bring out the markings and make them as visible as possible. And this my friend, is one easy, reliable way to do it. Works well with both silver and copper coin rings. This isn't paint, or die, and we're not adding a colored coating. Liver of sulfur changes the color of the surface metal by oxidation. A popular oxidizing technique used to color metals.

Fencekid you are the man to follow when making coin rings with low budget tools. Thanks man.
I just picked up one of these coins (an 1899) after I saw your video. It does make an awesome looking ring. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yo fencekid....where are you and what are you doing? I hope you are well. I am a coin ring maker from germany. I remember when i start making coin rings i whatched some of your videos which impressed me. The coin ring community is still talking about your first videos like a legend. I don't now what you are doing today but i really hope you are well and send you best wishes from düsseldorf germany. Peace ✌️
You are the master at making rings out coins man!
Wow man, amazing design hammered out of that coin and beautiful finish.
I introduce to you the Bob Ross of coin rings lol. Great job once again brother
I've been making rings using your method for some time now. Thanks for the videos, they are great!
The problem I have always had and can't seem to overcome is the slight bell-shape of the end product. The edge of the quarter that has the ridges always appears wider than the other side. Viewing the profile of the ring from the side, it has a slight concave shape. Never a convex shape like the ring in this video.
Keep up the awesome videos!
I just finished making this same ring out of the Newfoundland coin thanks to your advice & I absolutely nailed it! You weren't trippin Fencekid. This is an awesome ring. I cant believe how nice it turned out. I used a doming block to curve the edges too. Thanks for the video & for your other video about the liver of sulfur. I used that method on this ring also, polished the high points & edges & I absolutely love it. Keep the vids coming whenever you can. God bless Kid!
I just started making coin rings, I definitely love the hobby! The ring in this video is very beautiful wow man good job!
that contrasted ring looks fabulous
fencekid

Fricking wicked a newfie coin I would have never guess, i am fully stoked I found your channel cuz dude to buy a coin ring thats all done is far more than 25 cents lol. Hmmm is it sad that I fully understand the tools and grit etc far better then anything makeup tools on my channel….ahhh growing up industrial supply life lol.
Great videos! I really like em.
Nice work!
Wow Hot!!! This would make an amazing personal gift for someone Found all I need on Amazon Your an inspiration!!
Good morning.wow very nice ring true
great vid as usual pal.
BEAUTIFUL!
Good informative video, thanks! :)
Dude, I really want this awesome ring! You should do a giveaway or something. :D
Great vids Brutha, easy to follow and not a bunch of blathering. Something to think about, I like to use what has been punched out of the coin to make a petite medallion. Especially with the silver, gold and specialty or foreign ones. Just some food for thought, or more like a snack to nibble on.
that is awesome. I lightly coat mine with color fast for fishing lours and lightly flame till black. when polished the black turns to shiney plastic and high ridges sand off.
YOU ARE THE MAN. POPING IT IS. I GOT ME A MANDREL LASTNIGHT
This is great, thanks! How did you add the polish????
It's definitely beautiful in its own right. Could you suggest alternate catalysts to get different toning, such as rainbow toning? As a numismatist, it's common to encounter artificially toned coins - which is something that collectors must be wary of, as it is bad for the coin's value, so we always look for natural toning.
So that being said, for the deliberate creation of toning for rings, I would love to know what chemicals can be used (safely) to create various effects on various metal compositions.
I think this is something I will look into.
Great video, man, thanks!
Great video! When you put on the polish, did you polish it with a dremel drill, or what did you use? I'm thinking a Dremel might take off the patinaon the "recessed" part of the ring. Thanks.
Man ! That is bangin'
Can't wait to me one for my 4 brothers and 2 friends. I'm going to find time to make me one also. What so nice about this, unisex. Love it thanks
"I mean am I trippin" Wasn't supposed to be funny but I laughed at it.
Very cool by the way! Love what you do.
Great vid....What type of dremel attachment is that?
These are great! I am having trouble getting this to work well on state quarters. Do you do or use something different for them?
Outstanding fencekid, :)
I love these damn videos!
Love you videos! Great vibe to 'em.
thanks so much for these bad ass videos
thanks for your videos.. i love them... just got all of my tools for everything, and i'm having a ton of trouble taking off all of the jeweler's scale... or whatever it is... i've been leaving it on for that two tone antique look, but i rather use something that causes it to patina and not look like this... i've been using clothe wheels on a dremil and mother's polish... is there a better way to get rid of it...? thanks in advance...
Thank you!
Hey Fence Kid, you taught me a lot. I've made several rings. One thing people need to know is how to seal the Patina finish.
the last thing I tried was Protectaclear. It's like a clear resin that is baked onto the ring. This stuff doesn't flake off. You more or less wear your way through it until it's gone. Now yer back to square one rubbing off the patina. But it did last longer than any other thing I've tried.
I'd agree bro, I've been using protectaclear for a long time now and never had anyone return their ring to be refinished. I also like (depending on the type of coin I'm working) Renaissance jewelry wax.
Most awesome!
Wow! That looks so amazing. What kind of polish do you use? And what type of head on the dremmel for it?
WoW! That Is Awesome.
Love the video brother is it ok to use 220 grid sandpaper or is that too rough ?
Ideas, thanks.
Thank you for these vids man - I'm going to give making a ring a try! Do you do anything to "seal" the finish? I mean if I did this and gave the ring to someone and they tried to polish it up after a while would it take the patina off? Thanks again~
thanks for the tip!
Men your cool, i wish you good luck.
Brilliant.
great vid!
man you are awesome thanks
a great addition to your sanding supplies would be a manicure pad/block. The ones I get have 4 sides, with 1 being the "roughest" and 4 being a super-fine buffing material. I use a sanding pad/block as well, but then when I'm ready to "finish" a ring, i 1-2 the edges for 30-40 seconds, then 2-3 for 30-40 seconds, and then finally 3-4 (use the corners between sides...) and get a super smooth, "comfort band" feel out of the edges. The ones I get are like $5 at my local pharmacy...
great video, any idea how would I do the same thing with a stainless steel ring?
Hey Fencekid, Love your work. I am looking to make a coin wedding ring out of an old italian 20 grana coin ≈1690. I had a couple of questions for you. Do you think the coin is suitable as long as the edges are in pretty good shape? I would add a link but it doesnt allow me. Also, do you recommend doing and acid pickle before the liver of sulpher or is it overkill to do both?
Very nice! Have u ever tried to just dip it in the liver of sulfur bath for a couple seconds then quenching it and dipping it again, and so on and so forth till you get the desired effect? I find the patina lasts much longer than if applied all at once. And plating w black rhodium can get a pretty similar effect but much more permanent! I love your choice of coins.!!!!!!
Hi there man hope you had a grate Thanksgiving......So i got all the stuff needed to do whats on your video. But the problem im having is in the polishing phase. I keep taking off the black patina even if im gentle. On your finished product is super black. How do you do that??
I made my first ring out of a 2006 quarter. I used liver of sulfur on it and it looks great! Its turning my finger black / green though if I wear it for very long. How can I prevent this? Is it the liver of sulfur coming off or the ring turning it? I used the baking soda to stop the chemical process like you said but its still causing discoloration.
excellent
hey man, these look great. I notice on your other video how to make the ring from a quarter, that right was a bit concave (sunken in) around the middle, whereas this one shows a nice curve (bowing) out, around the outside center. Is there a trick to get it to bow out rather than being sunken around the middle?
Question ? After using the liver of silver on my rings how do I protect the finish ? I think I remember you saying something about using wax ? I am I correct or dreaming it ! lol If so what kind do you use ? I know eventually it may wear and need redone but still need to coat or something for the time being. Thanks for your continued help.
Thanks for this very useful tutorial! I have what is probably a stupid question....I don't have a blow torch. Would it suffice to heat the ring in the oven for a while?
So I have a question. I did great on the quarter. But when I tried to make this one, it ended up lopsided........and eventually broke. Do I need to use a larger size PVC pipe since this is a larger coin?
Very good job excusarme i dont have the sulfure liver i have the pátina for all metal how can i do to have similar result
Thankyou un advanced
Best regards from México Querétaro
@fencekid do you have a video on making that coin ring?
Can you please tell me what music is playing on the radio? These are great videos! Keep 'em comin' because you're a great speaker and teacher.
I'm thinking about doing this kind of stuff for friends. What's the list of things do I need like tools, chemicals, and materials?
what kind of acid bath are you quenching this ring into to get the white finish?
wicked tripping dude!!!
I've been watching a lot of your videos and then one of your videos you show putting heat to a woman's ring in order to hammer and back my question is will Heap damage of silver ring or a brass colored ring you know the kind that look like gold, or gold it self. once again thank you for your info.
Hey fencekid, how do you keep the contrast, most all the dark has rubbed off almost immediately. also leaving dark marks on fingers. when they lose a bit at a time it is a pretty ugly mess.
I just purchased this coin and I intend to make a ring out of it ! I just love it ! Oh I hope I don't screw it up ! lol
***** it worked out rather well except using leather wrapped around mandrel I still I lost inside printing. I have tried and tried to conquer this aspect of coin ring making and as of today I have failed ! It looks like fencekids ring except for this.
that is awesome
Did you get your fume hood on Amazon?
