Zoisite and Sterling Silver Ring Pair

I created this pair of zoisite rings at the request of one of my lovely customers ~ one each for her and her sister.

They live far away from each other, and I know that feeling. What a nice way to show the ever-present bond between them.

One of my dear besties prefers a thinner smaller ring to my usual style, so as I was wondering what to make her for her birthday, I suddenly thought of this lovely opal that I bought a while ago. I loved it, but hadn’t found the right design for it.

Suddenly it was clear! I created a fine setting for it, and mailed it off to my bestie.
