Today my friend taught me how to pick out a stone, create the bezel to fit the stone and solder the bezel to the base. Tomorrow I learn how to finish the rest like trimming and soldering on the finger band. Man, this is much harder than I realized and all my rings are going to sell for a kazillion dollars. Just kidding.
You artisan, you.
Those look so beautiful! You are such a creative artist.
Love it. I have a friend who is promising to teach me her wicked ways the next time I have time for the countryside and no kids. I think it looks amazing already. I am tempted to take a class at our local arts center. How long is process from start to wear?
You continue to amaze me with your talent and creativity. I am little jealous………..Okay I’m alot jealous.
Looks like a LOT of work. Wow!
Fantastic. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Great thunderin’ jebus, you are amazing. You can do everything! wow!
I have some stones that would be perfect for the job – where did you get the raw materials to make them, and could you please maybe post a howto?
I love seeing photos of works in progress, very nice! Val
