My friend and fellow metalsmith Nina suggested the Ring a Day challenge to EtsyMetal, a group of metalsmiths who sell on Etsy.
Initially I wasn't going to do it as I have a fairly demanding day job and working out of a tiny home studio means I am very limited in what I can do.
Looking at the first set of rings, and seeing Kathryn Riechert's interpretation of the challenge expanded my vision of what a ring could be and made me realize that imagination is the most important tool, so I joined in.

Kathryn's "Ruby" Ring
Here is my first ring
Stem from a bunch of grapes, 14k gold-filled wire, faceted White Topaz briolette. 
love it, very cool!
ReplyDeletep s where do the lovely topaz brio's come from?
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! You should recreate it in more permanent materials. I think it's a wonderful prototype.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I got it from the MJSA show. The strand was really expensive, but totally worth it.
