Ooooooo some new ones to oooo and ahhhhh over. I love the tiffany. I love the shape and the colors. But, that rhodo is nice, too. Well, so is the blue tide. I can't choose.

All three of those rings are to die for! Each stone is amazing and your designs just scream simple elegance. Have to agree that the Blue Tide is my favorite, although I'd wear each and every one of them.
I do adore the hammered texture on the Tiffany Stone. Very well done!

Wow! All three are outstanding. Rhodochrosite gets the gold medal.
I am working on some Blue Tide at this moment, care to share any polishing beta? At this rate they are destined for the shoe box of shame.

Thank you Robin! I had originally just hammered the band on that one and just polished the bezel. But when it was finished, it didn't look quite right so I went ahead and hammered the bezel. Much better.

It's hard to pick a favourite, but I'd say the second one is amazing. They are all gorgeous.

All three are beautiful, but the simplicity of the blue tide and the hammered finish on the Tiffany really stand out to me. Excellent craftsmanship all around!

At this rate they are destined for the shoe box of shame. Thank you brotherbillBlue tide is interesting. Pretty soft as I'm sure you know. Some cracks and pits in it. I almost always do a final polish with tin oxide on felt for everything, but this material, with those pits would just soak up the white tin oxide like a sponge and it would be a bugger to get it cleaned up. I just use my progression of wheels on my cab king to 3,000, then a final 50K diamond polish. It seems to do the trick. Enjoy the blue tide! I think the colors it has are the bomb.
