My First Sand Cast Silver Ring - A 97% success

This is my first attempt at sand casting a silver ring; it didn't go as expected but I am quite pleased with the result!
Ring size: 22mm (inner diameter)
Weight: ~7 grams
Material: 925 sterling silver

Beautiful, I’ve just cast a silver ring for the first time, I didn’t have enough to make it all the way round so I’ve made a smaller design and plan to recast it soon

Any material option besides sand? i will build my first kiln , i need to cast 160cm staff with brass material,but I need more details

Note : I've never done this stuff. Now that this is said, take a quick google look at "sodium silicate sand casting". the stuff hardens the sand which is more convenient for large parts

Look into green sand, which you can either buy or mix yourself (sand, water and bentonite)

[@andrewadams4000]

can you heat the cast to let the metal run easily

[@jakobhalskov]

I should have heated the silver a bit more and created small air vents for the air to escape through. Additionally being more confident when pouring would have helped too :) !
