My dad started making jewellery out of copper wiring.
He's very good now, he made a diamond solitaire ring for a friend's engagement.

my dad used to make stuff for my mum when they were young
it's something that always impressed me, but i never took up

As usual, my dad got obsessed with it, and did LOADS.
He taught himself how to cast, and set stones etc. I have a nice silver ring he made, it has an arrow on it, all curled up. The tip and flight are gold, it's cool.

awesome
to my mind that's got much more meaning than shop-bought jewellery

Yeah, it's cool
And unique, because it's not 100% perfect.
