Description Well okay, technically its my second ring. I made a cast ring about 3 years before this, but this is my first ring with a stone set in it and the first ring I made all by myself without a teacher's helping hand. Very plain, but it works. Originally the stone was a 12mm malachite but I took it out because it was getting to scuffed up. I switched to the 12mm Garnet and am so glad I did. I love garnet now since I wore this around. Such a deep red *drool*

I just realised. My newest ring looks alot like this Haven't photographed it yet though. Heh.
There are slight differences too. Mine has an 8 mm garnet and the ring is more narrow than the bezel. I'm so easily influenced.

I think so. (I'm a leech, I find inspiration where there's one to be found)
Besides, It's a great piece of work

$500 Canadian dollars! Its not worth that in materials or labour, but your paying for sentimental value!

"five hundred dollars. Five hundred dollars! FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!" ... one of my favorite scenes from the movie "Bubble Boy".

If you really wanted to sell it, which you shouldn't, $500 C is not asking too much. I don't have the cash, but I would buy it if I didn't already have something else to save up for.

Wow.... You would actually pay $500 for that? I could sell it for $90 and still make a good profit! But yeah, never to be sold.

Looks great! Your solder seam on the band is invisible in the picture and the bezel look pretty good too. 12mm, that's a wide band. Is it comfortable to wear?

The seam is right below the bezel, you can see it a bit on the inside, but I don't really care because you can't see it when its on my finger. It is fairly wide, but I do have long fingers. It is comfortable to wear, I could even spare to go a bit wider actually (I wear it on my middle finger too, that helps)

It looks good from this angle too, I can't see the seam on the edge of the ring. I'm really impressed with your work and look forward to seeing more.
