Scorpio Ring in 14k yellow and rose gold


This is another of my favorite pattern/no pattern ring.  This one is in 14k again, but two different colors of gold and highly polished.

This one started out like the rest:

Sterling, 14k, Topaz and Moostone Masonic Jewel - Ellensburg #39

This is a jewel made for a Past Master of Ellensburg #39 Masonic Lodge
 There was a time when it was common for the presiding officer for a fraternal organization to be presented with a 'jewel' or badge of office after the completion of his term.  I have a collection of these.  This is one I made for a friend and a member of my lodge, Ellensburg #39.

This custom has fallen away or has been replaced by purchasing a pin, likely stamped out of pot metal in china.  I think this is sort of a bummer.


This one was constructed from a vintage sterling spoon which bore the F&AM marks an gold from old and broken masonic lapel pins.  Sort of giving these old objects a new fraternal life.

Diamond Ring Trio

This is a three ring set I made for my wife.  Top is white gold with rough black diamond, center is white gold and rough grey.  Bottom is Palladium and 1/2 carat cut diamond.  The rough diamonds are of the industrial grade meaning that they are not the kind that could be cut.


The fancy diamond has a rough construction band, the rough diamonds have refined bands.


One hard piece was determining how to get them to 'nestle' if worn together.


Fun project, but it took me a long time....
