Scorpio in 14k white and yellow gold with Diamond

 This is yet another of my favorite design.  This one was to re-create a wedding ring for a friend.

 

 

Construction Photos:

She had a wedding ring with a good diamond, but she didn't enjoy the setting style any more.  So I cut it apart.

I rolled the think white gold into thin wire.

These will be joined to go on either side of the band.

 

 

 

I used some other gold I had, so that there were many shades of gold in the design.

 

These shapes were cut with a die cutter, circle press.

I was making five at the same time.   The one with mostly round, bubble like, is for my friend Candi.

 

 

Rounded up, and seam soldered.

 

 

 

The white gold rings must fit exactly before I solder them.

 

 

 

 

Gavels - Acacia and Walnut

 These are gavels made of Acacia and Black Walnut.  

They were laser engraved for friends of mine as gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

Scorpio Ring in 14k white and yellow gold - Lee's Ring

This is another of the design I like to make.  

This one is special.  

It was created by combining two wedding rings.  

14K Yellow and White Gold

The two rings belonged to two family friends.  The husband passed away last year.  She is planning to wear it as a thumb ring.

This was made in my studio in Gallery One in Ellensburg, WA

Ellensburg Jasper and Fine Silver Ring

This is jasper from the hills around Ellensburg, WA.  
My attempt at a Navajo style or design.

It is set in fine silver (.999)

The stone was cut by a member of the Yakima Lapidary Club.

The local newspaper, The Daily Record, is including me in an almanac of Art in Kittitas County!  Link to story here....
