Raw Materials - Sterling sheets, wires, and tubes. Another view of the No Nuke Ring. A steel...

Contemporary Jewelry with Eco Friendly Metals. Monday, March 26, 2012. Savanna's Ring - Process Photos. Another commissioned piece I finished couple of days ago. The red to red-brown iron oxide crystals in this lepidocrocite seem to have suspended in quartz, frozen in time. Due to the faceted top, a simple straight silver bezel is used to capture the stone. From left to right, top to bottom:. 3 The parts are prepolished. 4 The ring setting is now soldered onto the band. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
