I like them, you sure do a nice job especially with all the heavy silver.

I should know this, but what are the stones? Very nice silver work.

Thank you both for the kind words.strong hands and a hard head makes bending the heavy gauge easy.lol.the red stone is Morrocan seam.the black stone is Merlinite.a really high grade psilomelane. Thanks for looking once again Dave

Good looking rings! The Merlinite is new to me.
What are the "ice cubes" the rings are on? Good idea.

nice work there. I like the added appeal that you got with the accent holes in the seam agate

Nice job Dave, What did you use to cut the seam agate around the tubing? Looks like that was a PITA.

Thanks Tom for noticing it was a PITA.i used burrs to drill it out marking the center then using progressively larger burs to get the proper diameter.the one got a little wonky,lessons were learned,will do it slightly differently next time around.i should have left the tubing long/Protruding past the cab,then filed it to the profile of the stone. Oh well she liked it anyway. Dave
