I very, very rarely make something for myself. I got this beaut of an amethyst cab, and made a beast of a ring in 18ct and silver, with some reticulated panels on. As amethyst is my birthstone (and my biblical namesake was a seller of purple), I quite fancied it. I hadn't sized it when making it, and lo and behold, it was a perfect fit. Meant to be I thought. Wore it when visiting my parents the day I finished it.
At least I can take solace in the fact my mum still hasn't taken it off yet ;-)
Best not fall out with her, then... That's a beautiful, regal "beast of a ring" - wouldn't look out of place on the finger of a mediaeval pope or a Babylonian monarch!

Funnily enough Dennis, that's one of my mum's favourite poems :-)
Thank you folks, I now have to console myself with the package of stones I got to make her Christmas pressies with! (Which I am now keeping in revenge!)
