I’ve been on a bit of a “ring thing” lately, and this design is an easy one to wear. Some of the bands were acid etched by hand, others were hand textured with a variety of hammers. Accurate sawing is the key to making these perfect, along with spot-on soldering and lots of luck. Needles to say, they are all perfectly imperfect with the marks of the maker here and there.
A design I just love working with is a silver band, etched or textured, with a gemstone setting. These faceted stones dance in the light and are certainly attention getters! The first band has a lab created amethyst, the second is a White Quartz. I think my very favourite stone at the moment is the Tourmalinated Quartz, which contains the healing properties of two gemstones to create a powerful energy tool. On this textured ring I added Sterling silver balls. The fourth ring is a brilliant Ice Blue Topaz
This is one ring style that I wear almost all of the time , and surprisingly enough, have not damaged it, lost the stone or bent the setting. I love the pure simplicity of it.
These rings are not adjustable so must either be available in the correct wearers’ size or custom made to fit. For that reason I really like this next design-it’s somewhat adjustable and involves far less work than precise fittings to size..
I’ve used a variety of stones on these bands, including Aventurine, Black Onyx, Labradorite, Garnets and Sodalite. Additional ones were made with Sterling silver stampings, it’s hard to say which one I like the best-luckily I don’t have to chose ♥
