Moms B day Ring - Sterling and Prehnite

One good thing about making silver is that I don't have to go to malls and stores to pick out a present for birthdays:P
Here is momz b day ring!

To make the seat for the bezel I melted some scrap silver into a hole in my soldering block.

Red hot!


Pretty raw at this point...

Shaped and ready to solder together

All soldered up

Cleaned up and purty

Oxidized with liver of sulfer and ready to add a final finish then set the stone

All done... Happy b day!

From this to that - Sterling Multi Tiger Ring

I am working with some really nice stones now! They make the design process so much more enjoyable! Here are some photos from my latest creation process!

Here is the stone that I chose to work with :)
