Not every attempt to turn an old coin into a wearable ring is successful. Sometimes, the coin just cannot take the strain and it will bust, tear or shatter.
This South African coin tore when I was coning it on the jeweler's mandrel.

Too bad too, as this was looking to be a very detailed and ornate presentation on both the outside edge and inside...

Going through things across the board; Deviantart, Etsy, and others.
Anything that's costing me money/month to keep running but isn't paying even a tiny profit above expense is getting Closed.

First on the chopping block is my store on Etsy.

I live on less than $1000.00/month, in Trudeau's Canada, so an ongoing cost of almost $4.00 USD is Unaffordable and is money I'd rather aim towards my Charity interests as often as I can.

The Subscriber's Gallery on my Deviantart is Closed and gone, I do still have the Premium Gallery running.
But, if things don't turn around soon, I'll be closing my Deviantart account as again what they cost me to keep vs. what's coming in from them...doesn't work for me, and takes $$ away from my Charity interests.

They were experiments, I figured I'd give them a try and see what if anything came about.
Well, tried, learned, now it's just time to close the experiments down as they've served their purpose.
