Diggin' that greenstone! I like how the stone is small and the band is wide. Nice juxtaposition.

Very nice. What gauge is the green stone band? Texture is cool as well.

Very nice. What gauge is the green stone band? Texture is cool as well. I started out with a 16 ga. for a bracelet and it curved in the roller which made it unuseable for that. Went to make a ring out of it and I didn't take into concideration the thickness of the gauge and it was too small. So I patterned a piece of 20 ga. and made the band anew out of it. Took the round on a ball peen and flared it a little on each side. You can't see it but I used a sheet of 20 ga copper on the bottom of the setting to give it contrast.

Is it possible to get a view of the face of the oblong ring? Like that style reminds me of being a kid and seeing my mom's native american turquoise rings.

I have not been on the forum for a very long time and stumble across this. Wow! Was the green stone from me? Maybe apatite?
