To create the Twist Ring, I first twisted together wires by clamping the ends to a worktable via a C-clamp, then twisting them together by using a wooden dowel in the opposing loop. Next, I shaped the twisted wires around a ring madrel and cut them to size, as well as filing the ends to get the ready to solder. After soldering, I placed the ring in a pickle solution to remove some of the oxidation, then buffed and polished them to a high shine.

Some challenges I faced in creating the duotone twist ring were figuring out a way to make the two ends of the ring match perfectly, through cutting the wires and filing them down. The ends matching is important to ensure a more secure solder joint. One thing I could have improved would be to find a way to match silver with silver and brass with brass at the solder joint, whereas I had the opposing metals soldered together. On the other hand, something that went  well in the creation of this ring was the sizing -- I managed to shape it to a perfect size seven.  Overall, this ring exceeded my expectations, with the neatness of the twist and the solder joint, as well as the unexpected impressiveness of the polish.
