This is from an agate, we collected four years ago, when we went to Alpine TX. The biggest problem I had with the ring was it gained a size and a half, after soldering. Finally got it resized. Made this for my wife, after all the griping I did, on that little peridot ring.   |

That's really pretty. I like the band. Is that made from two half round wires or did you cut and split a sheet to make it? Haven't had the nerve to try a ring yet.

Tony, that's double half round 14 ga. Can get it from Rio Grande.
Thanks all.

very nice, didn't know you could buy the double half round I've always soldered it together which is a real pain
