A Ring a Week Project - Week 2

For my second ring project I wanted to do something totally different. After a scavenge around our studio and an inspiring conversation with Brendan I found some fiber optic cable for a model we made years ago. I thought is would be cool to have a ring that was illuminated.

So here is my first try...


A Sterling Silver ring, size 9, made out of tubing with fiber optics threaded through the center. It picks up some ambient light and glows at each opening.

I think this project needs another try as a stronger light source is needed.
OK, time to call in the engineers and computers guys for some input and help.
