Absolutely gorgeous. Pity I can't get another ring, but if I could, I'd be sending you a Note asap!

Thank you! Yes, it is such a pity that you are not in the market for a new ring. I do hope you will keep me in mind when your fingers need something new to wear.

Wow! Looks absolutely spectacular - from the texture of the base shank all the way to the filigreed spinner rings and the elegant scrollwork between the four stones. I can't wait to see it for real!

Thanks! I really hope you enjoy it. With the four stones on the center band I couldn't fit my standard little wire detail so I made the tiny scrolls. Worked out really well though. On the way to you now, dropped it at the post office earlier today!

Completely in lost wax or a combination of techniques?

No casting. Just textured sheet, forming and soldering.

What did you use to put in the texture on the sheet. That seems to be a pretty deep pattern.

Just be careful when you roll the sheet through, if you roll it too much (too deep, too hard) then you only get one use out of it.
