ring in the new year...

I've been making lots of rings lately. They're quicker and more fun than earrings because you only need to make one... So here are a few recently completed babies photographed and settling nicely into my etsy shop.


 a beautiful piece of Louisiana petrified palmwood in sterling


something similar using a piece of Nevada boulder turquoise and a touch of 14kt gold


another example of boulder turquoise




a sweet little pearl ring in sterling and 14kt gold



something fun in swirly blue glass and sterling
You can find these and many more rings in my etsy shop.

And below are some very interesting rings from several of the many etsy shops worth checking out!

 resin ring  quercussilver       acrylic ring  dillondesigns
 sterl sculptural ring  mariagotijoyas    paper yarn rings  paperphine

                                      
                                    Happy New Year!

    I love the finish on your silver, Betsy--and the way it works with the stones is poetry. I can very well imagine how beautiful they are on the hand.

    Thanks Lois, and I had to look up Hogmanay to make sure it was a real word and not a typo! Now that I know, I'm wishing you one right back, along with wishes for a snow melt in Edinburgh!

    Wow - thanks a lot! My Paper Yarn rings look quite fragile compared to your wonderful pieces - what a beautiful contrast!
