The Ring That Wouldn't Be


Sterling silver. Amethyst. Size 4.

This ring did not want to come together. I ended up having to remake almost every component in it, sometimes more than once. The kid is happy with it in the end though so I can't complain.

Teeny tiny little ring for a kidlet. This is approximately a size 1-1/2. Isn't it cute?!

YOJ wk 7 Ametrine and leather earrings

I've had a scrap of deep blue leather kicking around from a project I made several years ago, and the idea to make spacers out of it occurred to me a while back but I hadn't dug out the tools until recently. I like the contrast between the clear faceted stones and the deep blue rustic leather in these earrings.

YOJ week 5 - citrine and amethyst earrings

I always enjoy it when pieces fall into place. These stones have been kicking around on my work surface for ages - I've tried them in all kinds of combinations that just didn't work, and then one day recently I tried them together and they fit perfectly. The colours are incredibly rich and the shapes compliment each other nicely. They need nothing more.
