Silver Pearl Rings

  I'm running out of ideas to title my blog posts. Every post is the same subject matter:)

These rings really had my daughter excited, which is very rare. She hardly notices what I do anymore:)

Fine silver, coin pearl and sapphire

Fine silver, pearl, and zircon

Rings Again

  I am really enjoying this very narrow focus on rings. My job continues to be high pressure and I enjoy coming home to the repetitive labor and tiny world of one ring at a time. I challenge myself by making each one different and seeing how many ideas I can come up with.

Iolite, aquamarine, peridot, fine silver

chrysoprase, fine silver, gold fill


Some of my rings I would make again exactly the same, and some I would never make again, some I would make again with improvements.

I expect most of them will go into the Etsy shop in the coming weeks. Soon as I find time. If your interested keep an eye out.

More Rings

  Here is the fixed ring. Adding the beads made a big difference for the design to feel complete.

Also, copper, sapphire, and garnet ring. The design was influenced by Iza's ring tutorial http://www.etsy.com/listing/17455310/ethnic-ring-step-by-step-tutorial

Lapis Ring

  Ok this is last ring for a while

I really like the gold fill band and weave pattern. Otherwise it seems just a bit boring to me. It's missing some kind of pop.

  Anybody have ideas to make it pop? All I can think of is to oxidize the bright silver to black and see if that gives me some wow factor.

Coiled Silver Ring

  I did not know that I was going to write another blog post within 4 hours of my earlier post.

I wandered off to finish a ring I began a week ago.

  Oh my goodness friends!! I am so excited about this ring! I wanted to give myself a perfectly wrapped ring done with excellent skill. I don't feed my perfectionism every day (you might think I do), but I felt a need to feed that desire for good workmanship so I began this coiled ring that would also celebrate silver.

  The pearl looks awesome  but I do wish I had a better quality stone to set in the center.

  I'm keeping this one bright, and for the first time I'm thinking a professional photographer would be a good idea.

  I hate to show my chubby hands, but this ring deserves for me to set aside my vanity:)

Copper Labradorite Ring

  I really like how this one turned out. It has a perfect ring fit and a beautiful labradorite stone.

  It's also unusual for me because it has an undrilled stone. I always feel somewhat amazed when I successfully set a cabochon. I never really believe I'll be successful at the the start of the project:)
