Just got back in town from visiting my family, and here is my Ring a week for last week! I tried something new with this ring and raised the stone so the bezel appears taller. I really love how this ring looks on. It will be in my Etsy shop soon! Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Ring a Week #6 – Ember Ring
I just finished photographing this little carnelian agate ring for Ring a Week. The stone is primarily an orange color with a flair of red on the othe side that reminds me of a flairing ember in the last moments of a warm fire. This one is a size 8 and will be going in my shop. Thanks for looking!
Ring a Week #4 – Sterling Silver Prehnite Ring
Here is my latest Ring a Week entry. It is a sterling silver ring with a hand stamped pattern. The stone is a light green square faceted Prehnite. The center portion of the setting is polished to a high shine, while the rest is brush finished and oxidized.
Ring A Week #2
Ring A Week #2I know, I know… It is week three. I didn't get it photographed until today, but I did make it last week. This week I am going to get back on track, so expect RAW#3 in a few days. I was pretty busy last week, and haven't ever actually made stacking rings until now, so here is my first go at it. I love the rings together… Why did I not make them my size! If you want to check out what other tallented artists are making for RAW go to the flickr group here.
Two New Rings!
I used to hate making rings. Really hate it, but I have began to warm up to them, and now I am going to have to start trying to NOT make rings. Rings are challenging and I always am learning new things when I try to design and construct a ring. The first one is an abstract daisy design with a bright blue Amazonite. In the second ring the stone looks like a frothy mix of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla, and reminds me of a neapolitan ice cream. This week I am going to try and get a few […]more
Week 5 – A ring for me and a new pendant
Here are the pieces for week 5. The ring is a version of the boyfriend ring that I made a bit narrower for myself. The pendant is a dainty flower with a bezel set pearl. I really love how this one turned out.
RAW #3 – Handmade Gemstones and Silver Bunch Ring
Here is my Ring a Week entry for week 3. Gemstones are Amazonite, Rainbow moonstone, and Labradorite. Now I am off to start on week 4 so I can get it photographed on time… Unlike this one!
Ring a Week for a Year Challenge
Ring a Week #1Sometimes, I just need a little kick in the pants to get me going. So this is why I have commited myself to participating in the RAW Challenge. What is RAW or Ring a Week? Well, This is a group of very tallented artists that have challenged themselves to create a different ring each week for the entire year. Last year a group did a ring a day, which was waaay to intimidating for me, but one each week, I think I can do. The rules are simple, each new week, one new ring. The ring can […]more
