so after receiving loads of goodies from cookson I decided to try my hand at making a ring.



its sterling and amber. I used 3mmx2mm silver D wire and a little .8.. round wire.
I decided on the setting as I am currently atrocious at making claw settings and have nothing to make bezels with, however I have really found that I like the look of it so I imagine I will be doing it this way some more with other stones.
someone this weekend told me to stop being so worried about the odd tool mark as they make the item more hand made (how this works I'm not sure) so I tried to not muck around to much and I'm very glad I followed that sage bit of advice.

so thoughts ladies and gents?
who likes it? any ideas for improvement?
many regards
Sam.
