Wow! Now THAT is a ring! Very nice. Looks like a lot of work went into it, too.

It is huge but looks bigger on my wifes hand. Its a size 7 and she wears a 4 1/2. My co worker wanted a gypsy ring and I kind of patterned it off a picture she gave me.

Looks like alot of work and soldering in that baby, must have to have a careful plan for the soldering sequence? Excellent work.

Thanks, Actually no plan what so ever. I admire the people I see here who sketch a project out. I just cut it out on card stock so I had the size and took things laying around my desk to solder on. I almost use all hard solder on everything.

I can't make an actual plan or drawing either, I kind of fly by the seat of my pants too. But I must say I use the whole gamut of solders LOL

Lovely ring and beautiful stone. Turquoise seems to be pretty hot right now. You'll be popular!

That ring is gone, I am making another which I will post you a pic of the side and back. It is just one piece other than bezel and balls and flowers. The flowers are earings i cut the post off of. There is sterling 1/2 bead covers and just silver balls stamped. My next purchase is a rolling mill to texure the silver because my stamping is not so good looking.

Some projects I do a finer polish like your last two rings, the gypsy rings and antiqued pieces I just do a rough clean up, pantina and quick buff. These pieces the customers want the piece to look like it is old and worn.
