The stone in this ring is howlite, which is most often seen dyed and passed off as turquoise. Ā I just like it in its natural creamy white form!

Surprise, surprise, this ring is huge – the stone is four centimetres long. Ā IĀ like this ring, it’s really nice to wear, compliments most outfits, and it makes me feel happy!!

Carnelian Bearing Seat Ring

Carnelian and Sterling Silver Ring

The first project for the goldsmithing course I am doing this year was to design a piece incorporating a bearing seat setting method (a ledgeĀ put inside the bezel wall for the stone to sit on), andĀ one or moreĀ 12mm or larger stones in either a ring or pendant, with texture.Ā  I fell in love with these carnelian cabochons, and had to use them in my piece!Ā  Carnelians can be quite brown, but these orange ones are just delicious!Ā  I’ve got my eye out for some spessartite garnet cabs which can also be that lovely glowing tangerine colour.

It was a great fun project, both the designing and the making of it!Ā  With each project, we have to come up with the concept, do a tech drawing of it, do an art drawing of it, and of course create it.Ā  So much fun!
