Rings, rings everywhere!

[misspond]

Ah, tomorrow I'm back to work full time for the first time in five months. I've still been at work but on reduced hours but even so....reality check is zooming towards me!
For the last week or so I've been playing with rings just because I love making and wearing them, trying to come up with interesting rings that are a little out of the ordinary. And it's just occured to me that I've created a bit of a beauty and the beast selection.

First up are these pretty flush set gemstone, bronze granuled, hammer textured, metal clay ammonite accent rings. A bit of gold plate has been added and I've been road testing them for five days by not taking them off at all. I have to say the gold plate is beginning to wear a little but it's held up pretty well considering how often I wash my hands, use hand sanitizer, wash up, bathes, put my hands into my pockets and into bags and such. I like these a lot and need to make some up with some of the different stones I have because I've realised that potential customers cant see in their heads what they might look like in different colours.

They're the beauties, now for the beasts.....

These came about because I wanted to see how fast I could make something and have it look impressive. I think these are pretty good, the first ring took 15 minutes fabrication and got chucked in the tumbler for 30 minutes at the end of the process. Then I made more, and today I made another and added a quick pendant and earrings. All flush set with 1.5mm CZs. So now I've got lots of rings to road test and see how they wear.



Thanks for looking x
