Bezels, Bezels, Part II

Finally! The second bezel ring is finished! Cushion cut pink tourmalines and oval gray moonstones set in silver and fine silver. I've had these stones for years! I think I bought the moonstones back in 2001 when I took my first metal class at City College in San Francisco! I didn't know, back then, that small oval stones are not the easiest to set when you're just a beginner, so I've been saving this stones for awhile now--waiting for the perfect project!

Here's a picture of the 2.
I love wearing them. You might think they're a bit much, but actually, they're quite easy to wear. The stones are small enough that they're not distracting.

So glad to have a dry, sunny weekend!

Little Drops--April Showers....

Just completed these for a custom order! They're so cute-- little 5mm swiss blue topaz drops set in silver

These will be so easy to wear-- I think I'm going to have to make me a pair!

As you can see in this picture-- the weather in Oregon has been a bit dreary! It would almost be perfect for working in the shop-- but man, it's still cold! I'm looking forward for the temperature to increase a few more digits!
