Nicely done!
One constructive recommendation. On the inside of the ring, break the edge with a small radius both sides. That improves the feel of the ring on the finger and is less irritating.

Re: Working with metal clay
I didn't know there was such a thing as "metal clay" or the process that goes with it. Very interesting, and very nice gift.

That is very interesting! I was going to say "cool" but it looked very hot (the process)!!

Re: Working with metal clay
Hahahaha. I said the same thing 30 years ago. I gave my girlfriend a ring as a gift too (but I didn't build it). Me, the wife and 2 kids had a great Christmas time yesterday!
nice work, by the way.

Dude, that’s pretty cool. Sort of compliments the idea of 3D printing.

Re: Working with metal clay
Very nice! You mentioned "carve/create" is the clay solid or pliable?
