Description

A random idea came from a project two semesters ago that failed. For some reason, the solder would not melt and the ring ended up boiling. Last week I recieved a new stone package and I saw the old ring in my scraps collection. I decided to cut out the errors and fit the stone to size the ring into a size 7 and 1/2. The band itself is a little less then 1mm wide.

I fabricated the bezel onto the mount and decided to leave the extra edge on it and soldered the ring upside down to keep the design level and even. The bezel fit perfectly for the lovely grey moonstone. In light reflection it has a white/blue rainbow color to it. The stone itself is 6.65 ct, about 1mm wide and 1 and 1/2mm long. After putting everything together, I decided to hammer it to finish off the texture.

The ring is for sale, however as an honest artist, while polishing the ring, I did accidently split the bezel were the soldering point was. If its polished enough, its barely noticeable.

I do accept paypal orders.

The dimension is listed in size of ring.
