Ok well I use my I phone and my pics look like crap. Do you take the pic and load it straight from the phone? Somehow I haven't figured out how to do that. I've been emailing them to myself and then posting them... maybe this reduces the quality? If you get the Tapatalk app. You can post straight to the site from your phone and the photos look fine from my IPhone 5. Yours has a much better camera. Vic

Nice! Since the gem silica broke I guess you will be forced to make two smallish cabs. LOL Vic

I love the simplicity of this design. I would not feel bad about reproducing it often. Very nice work! Vic

Great job! I love those rings, but I don't know if I have ever met anyone with long enough fingers to wear one. I have short fingers and small hands- not gonna happen, but I wish. I did wear a jointed ring once, though. You dont think it looks good on my pinkie? JK. My wife has long slender fingers. I will try to get a pic of it on her. Vic

Wow you are very prolific lately. Good job sir. P.S. I ordered the flairing tool. Thanks! Vic

That's an awesome ring zekesman ! 1 question - I see the cab is set quite high. Is it that thick or do you have it backed by something to prop it higher? It is raised. with the curvature of the ring it needs a flat surface to sit on. there is a seat on the bezel. Vic

Very pretty! Did you put an applique on the bezel on the one side? I think that's what I'm seeing. It's really clever. I think you are seeing a reflection. The bezel is just 26 gauge sheet. Vic

Us paw handed men have to stick together. I knew they were runes. Or runesque. Vic

These photos were taken by me in a rock shop in Utah, summer of 2016. Based on the prices the shop was asking it's probably mostly still there The rock shop is out of business. The owners daughter that he owned the claims with was murdered. Vic

How thick is your base sterling? These are just beautiful. 22 Gauge. I use more of it than anything. Thanks, I wish I would have textured the other two. I have issues with sweat soldering. Something I am working on. Texture hides the issues. Vic
