Retired - Silvered Concrete Ring

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. First, please watch our video on how to add color pigments to concrete for jewelry.
2. Based on the instructions in the video, mix your tablespoon of concrete and add in a pinch of the charcoal colored pigment. Fill one triangular shape in your plastic mold, almost to the top. Let the concrete cure fully before moving on to the next step.
3. Once the concrete is cured, pop the piece out of the mold. If there are any rough edges along the flat side, you can sand them down with an emory board.
4. Take your silver leafing pen and color the bottom third of the smooth front of the pendant. You can use tape to block off the area you want to color in for a neat, straight line. Let the silver paint dry. Remove the tape.
5. Place a dab of E6000 onto the pad of one ring finding. Place the concrete cabochon onto the pad. Let the ring dry upright overnight.
6. Enjoy!
