A trio

I really have been working on some pieces! But I've been doing a lot of sketching and slowing down in the whole process. The first was to be a pendant, then it turned pin....got some design modifications along the way and right now I'm feeling somewhat ambivalent about the result. Its a mystery stone with onyx and its set in sterling:

and the stone up close with a flash:

and the back:

(still needs the pin stem)

Then a pendant.

Seraphanite and sterling:

Finally I am working on a new technique - this ring is a prototype. Its amethyst and sterling. The sterling wire is forged on both ends then soldered at the base of the shank. A hole was drilled in the top for the amethyst bead and another wire to go through. The wire was balled on both ends:

The ring is really dirty - it hasn't been cleaned properly yet - I was itching to test drive it, check for comfort etc.

added a turquoise one...

C&C Welcome!
