This is a piece I made for the Gallery One Resident Artists' Holiday Show 2020

Similar to others I have made, but in gold.
|
 |
The shank and bezel are 22k, the outer rings are 14k
|
 |
This photo shows the 'star'. This is a star garnet from Idaho.
|
 |
Perfect 6 point star!

The original plan was prongs, but that ended here. One of the prongs was too crooked when holding the stone. See pics below. I tried to straighten it and melted it instead. bummer.
