75/365 peridot

My first (premade) tube setting, the ring still needs some cleaning up. There are a few things I'd like to change about this design, but overall I'm happy with where these shadowboxes are going.

sterling silver, 18k gold, peridot

73/365 elements

Another piece for my Elements series, I also made a coordinating necklace. I think they have a retro mod feel. Sterling silver, etched brass, etched copper, 18k gold wire, reticulated shibuichi.





Necklace coordinates but is not matchy-matchy.

58/365 spots


The construction of this was a comedy of errors. Several of the gold spots fell off, during various stages of the process. The silver was inadvertently reticulated, the seam busted open during forming, plus it was 2 sizes too big. So now it's adjustable and I sawed holes where some of the missing spots are. This was to be my 30 minute ring submission for Lark books, but now I'm out of 18k. I do like the holes, though.
