Love this. The simplicity of it works. Love the reverse gradation in the photo. It just sets it off.

ah. clearly you have never been to a bead and gem faire. I think I've spent more money making jewelry than buying it. There's just so many shiny things...can't help it...pulling out wallet

very nice design, looks great, like a sculpture!
but isn't it a little bit impractical if you actually wear it?

haha, no that would be some of the other rings in my gallery. Actually this pic is misleading. the "curve" is the shape of the top of the next finger, so it really lays flat. But that doesn't make such a dramatic photograph

I saw some of your other rings too, they're really amazing, keep up the good work <3

Do you have items available for sale? I'm considering you for a feature on my blog, but I really only feature things my readers can purchase.

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you, I'm very flattered. It's actually a little complicated right now, but I thank you for your interest

well, I can't take another since the ring is sold, but when it's worn the part that stick out actually curls around the top of the other finger, so it doesn't actually stick out into the air (unless you want it that way, I guess) the pearl sticks out no further than any other pearl ring. thank you for your interest

Of course, just got the impression it would stick out due to the position it was shown in.
You're welcome.

I love the texture you got out of the casting! How'd you do it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually it was smooth when I cast it. to get the texture I took a diamond file and scrapped it across the ring. It's one of my fav texture treatments

Ah, I thought you might have done that, but I wasn't sure.
You're welcome.

Wow! Can't remember just how it will look like when it's on a finger, but the ring looks great and the photo too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks! It looks very different when worn, not nearly as dramatic lol

Absolutely stunning. It has a sort of awkward elegence to it, if that makes sense - it appears poised, ready for action.
