This is some material that we got from Ralph & Maryann at the Apache Junction rock show last year. A fellow in Massachusetts wanted the pendant and was hoping I could make a ring to match. It was very fortunate that I still had the 'sister piece' that I made the pendant from in order to fulfill his request. So I'll have to stop by and pick up some more when time allows, but Jolyn thought I ought to post the pair. It is very hard to find any good Holly Blue, so I am thankful for what Ralph and Maryann had to offer. It was hard to get the lighting right with only indoor light so that is why there are a couple of extra shots. Thanks for looking -Banjo

Both the ring and the pendant are beautiful. I'm sure you have a happy customer. I have made a couple rings in that design in silver but it does not look at all like yours.

Your go at the ring turned out much nicer than mine did - mine was honkin' huge though - I like yours much better!
Beautiful material you have there! I really like the pendant too!

Beautiful stone and wrapping! Holly Blue is incredibly hard stuff, but there's nothing like it.

That stone is a real beauty! And its size fits so well to the wire work surrounding it.

Both are great but I can't imagine wrapping a cab for a ring. I couldn't even follow the wires in your pic. Great job!

Excellent as always -that ring looks perfect! I think you & Doc are the only two I've ever seen create that wrap style on a ring and have it look perfect! I'll bet your customer was out of this world with that set!
