Hi all, Sorry it's been a while, I've been busy in so many ways, but I have been rock polishing at times. I've got a new workspace and some new kit and I'm teaching myself silver smithing. This is my latest piece, a ring called Green Fizz. It's Aussie Turquiose, Conoglese Malachite, Aussie Chrysoprase and South African Grossular Garnet. Cabs were 12mm, 2 at 6.5mm and the Chrysoprase at 5.5mm. Hope you enjoy it, more to follow soon. Cheers, Harry.

Very unique and certainly a plate full. Self taught makes it a lot more interesting in my book and it looks like the lessons are coming along quite well. Do you have a book or are you totally learning from scratch? Jim

Great concept, beautiful stones and not too shabby on the smithing! Nice work!

Very nice design and selection of stones (and love the name, too!) for the piece. Didn't know that there was turquoise in OZ.
