Top work and very imaginative! Love it! Is the stone held just by the prongs or are you using some sort of adhesive as well? Rings get a lot of abuse in frequent wear and that would be my only concern with the design. I'm not a fan of adhesives for setting, just to be clear. Peal pegs maybe but you can't peg-set a clear stone like that.

Beautiful artistry, Yurii. The silver design is beautiful and so fascinating. I love how the "fluid" crystal appears to have changed shape in response to the silver's grasp!

Smack yurii this one looks like a smoke filled ball sitting on a throne of silver. Really like the design of the ring the prongs look like they really grasp the orb. Have one question how long did it take for you to design and build? Looks very complex to pull all together. Great work looking forward to your next build. Thx for sharing

I glued the wire for insurance. |

Always a pleasure seeing your work yurii! . Thank you! I haven't quite figured out how to reply from my phone. It took me about 3 days to work with the stone - I didn't have the right tools. But at the moment, the materials have already been purchased, and I will soon make disks for stone carving. I think in the future this will radically reduce the processing time. But everyone who wants to do carving should remember that it is much easier to make a metal frame for a stone than a stone in a ready-made frame. |
