Played with wax wire for this casting to make the stone setting. Wax wire is about the same consistency as Twizlers. Ooooh! I should try to cast a Twizlers ring!

Ring-A-Day: Sterling Bone Ring With 8×10 CZ
I made a femur ring almost a year ago. Now that I’m experimenting with stones, it only seemed like a perfect shank for a setting. This 8×10 CZ sits nicely between a twisted hip bone, don’t you think?

Ring-A-Day: 3 Gems Set With Millgrain
Didn’t loose any blood on this one. I know this beast better now. Figured out that the measure of gems isn’t always exact. Some were snug and some were loose in their seats. The garnets seem to be my new favorite stone.

Ring-A-Day: Five Stars in Sterling Euro Shank
Wifie asked for a ring based on silver European shank from January 9th for a special anniversary — her 35th birthday (or somewhere around there. Who’s counting?) Five sparkly stars for her finger.

Ring-A-Day: Rutilated Quartz on Silver
Carved a little sterling seat for this interesting cabochon of rutile quartz. I’m starting to see rings as elaborate packaging for rocks.
