From mustard spoon to cameo pinky ring!

I was gifted this little spoon and I was immediately dead-set on creating this into a little pinky ring! The cameo was just too nice to leave on a spoon in a drawer!!

Removed the setting from the spoon and then the cameo from the setting. Thankfully the glue holding the cameo in had seen better days!

Cleaned the ring up after casting and burred out the setting for the cameo. Oxidised the ring, polished and then set the cleaned cameo to the ring.
