365/365 finale

Our little friend has made it to the top of the pink tourmaline gumdrop! This is it, the end of Ring a Day. What an amazing experience it's been. Thanks to all of you who have followed my progress over the year, your support has meant so much to me - without it I would have stopped making rings a long time ago.

This ring is for me and I spent most of the day making it. I didn't have a plan and as a result made two settings and three bands before I finally settled on this design. The setting is a concave bowl (and probably more trouble than it was worth.) The ring isn't perfect, but it is one of the most complex pieces I've made, the stone is yummy, and I'm happy with it.

Stay tuned for Ring a Week! Each day I will feature a ring made by another artist, and I will upload my weekly ring each Sunday. RAW baby, RAW!
