Very nice. I love the brown and white patterns. I have a Laker like that from you.

Very nice! Beautiful stone, too. Did you finish the band pattern by hand?

Very nice! Beautiful stone, too. Did you finish the band pattern by hand? I used a patterned brass sheet and a rolling mill on the band. My stamping is not so good looking.

Beautiful Laker and I really like how the patterned band mimics the banding in the stone!

That's a very nice design. Thanks for the first image. I breezed by it and the relative scale of the band in the other photos suggested a very large ring, but the first photo shows it to scale. Very attractive stone, too.

Very attractive stone, too. Thanks, I had a dream and went and made it when I woke up. My picture taking is like my silversmithing sometime. I don't think anything out, just do it. I never realized until you mentioned it that it does look huge. I did the pinky ring this spring the size of an egg....

I think that from now on I'll try to remember to include some visual size reference when I post one of my pieces - maybe a ruler or a coin. It's also very cool that your inspiration came from a dream! I think that If I would have a metalsmithing dream it would probably turn out to be a nightmare.
