I just finished this ring yesterday. It's a piece of blue lace druzy quartz with a lovely softly sparkeling top to it. I've set it in sterling silver which I then oxidized and lightly sanded which gives a lot of depth to the metal. This ring made it into my etsy shop. betsybensen.etsy.com

Our Lizzy
Sadly, Sunday we said goodbye to our most beloved lab, Lizzy, after 14 years as a member of our family. It was a beautiful warm Spring day and we said our goodbyes in the back yard where Lizzy passed away in my daughter's arms. It was sad and poignent but I can see Lizzy where she is now, just as much loved and running free from any belief of age and disability. We love you Lizzy girl, you are the best.
