Version four of this fun style has a little cross over or switch back. Who moved my cheese? I believe the Maître Fromager moved it.

Ring-A-Day: Maze Ring v3
Version 3 of this recursive ring has a little alcove where you can read a good book in peace, or where I can set a gem if I cast the ring in sterling silver.

Ring-A-Day: Maze Ring v2
A little twist, literally, on yesterday’s ring. The hedge maze ring seems to have a lot of variants. I’m going to explore this design in metal soon.

Ring-A-Day: Maze Ring
Maze gardens have fascinated me since The Shining. Also known as a hedge maze, an homage to Chatsworth Garden can now fit on your finger.

Ring-A-Day: Silver and Pyrite Ring
Wow. Learned a valuable lesson today.
I’ve been carving this ring a few minutes a day for about a week. I found the cute little piece of double cube pyrite last week and wanted to make a silver setting for it. It’s a size 12 so there’s lots of rock and metal.
So what do you think I did after a week of working on this? I crushed the rock. It was almost perfect, but the prong was just a little crooked. Squeeze a little bit more and POP!
Today’s lesson: The gem is the most important thing. You can melt down metal and start over, but you can’t melt down a gem and start over.
