Storming Ring

[Emerald]

This is the first ring i have made and set in 11 years after showing you my engagement ring i must say i am a tad worried. I have litte skin left on my knuckles as i like to use nice thick sheet for my cabs and there was a lot of effing and blinding but i got there in the end.

the lampwork is 'stormed' i think you can see why, Becky had a play for me and this is what she came up with, a gorgeous Cab x

[Lisa Quinn]

That is absolutely fabulous Jo, I guess stone setting must be like riding a bike eh? It's a totally striking ring, why did you leave it 11 years?

[Di Sandland]

it's gorgeous Jo

A great setting Jo and a fab piece of lampwork - gorgeous :Y:

[Emerald]

thank you all x

Lisa i have been bringing up three kids for the last 11 years, in my old house there was no room for my workshop and my old workshop was at my Dads house and he moved and it has been flat packed eversince. The youngest started full time school in september and this was my que to restart as i still want to be able to be around when the kids need me.

JJ its a long time since i astounded anyone lol thank you, the setting is 1mm sheet and i have the scars to prove it xx

It is lovely. And green is my favourite colour. Looks like smoke in that cab.

[snow_imp]

Wow, that bead is just amazing and the setting isn't half bad either :)

[mizgeorge]

I'll say it again here ;) - that is one lovely bit of work missus!

Gorgeous setting, fabulous cab.

and 1mm sheet for a bezel? What did you use to rub it over, a sledgehammer?

[bustagasket]

Absolutely GORGEOUS ring Jo. As JJ says, you should make more =D>

Sounds like your workshop is in a similar state to my room. I am constantly looking for things and end up using something else instead #-o
