I had some fun scrolling down and really hesitated on the first pic, thinking "oh oh". LOL Beautiful job on the silver and it really sets off the stone well.

I'm with greig, that first one set me back a little, but the others made up for it.

That's a pretty ring! I really like the combination of the textured and plain-polished portions of the band. Does the half-moon shape at the bottom of the band have significance? Nice work!

Question: Are you using a rolling mill for the patterns or are you stamping them?

Yah I'm not very computer savvy and my picture taking an composing is not so good looking. I took the pics and all I can do to get them on. They are kind of backward, but your comment is fun.

Oh that's nice! What great color too. When I think of nice Turquoise this is the color I gravitate to. This is hard and translucent which is a bonus.

No significance on the moon. I was showing my son how to fit the bezel on the curve and put the braided wire on which is copper. We were talking about tinning the little do dads so I showed him how to make the little moons on the disc cutter and we tinned it and I thought that was as good a place as any and keeping it simple.

This one is through a rolling mill. When @alicat218 was here last we were rolling some sheet and I kept putting this brass pattern through. Half was patterned and half was clear. I looked close at the brass pattern and half of it was plugged up with tape or something but it mad such a cool half impression I am still using it like that.
