Come out to the market today to check out these new mens rings. The first two are Bridge Rings with stainless steel spinners and the third is a brand new design that I still need a name for (any suggestions?) the band itself is stainless steel and it's interior sleeve is sterling silver.

And finally, here's a last custom design that I just completed. Based off of a design that I and a previous client came up with together (second image,) the new ring is bezel set with a pear shaped Andalusite stone and is flanked by two fire citrines. The inner band is a 14k yellow gold miligrain band with two outer arms of sterling silver with a bezel setting of 14k yellow gold. The original design was set with a diamond and two peridots.

This pair of wedding bands were commissioned by the clients and the idea was to use there fingerprints as the design element on their rings, with hers being a polished silver with a patinated fingerprint and his being a patinated band with a silver fingerprint design. I achieved the look by etching their fingerprints onto the rings with hero ring etched down into the silver and etching the silver band around his print so that it was raised. We then desired to add 2 silver and gold spinners to her band and gave it the concave design of my spinner rings.

Here are a couple of rings based off of my Bridge Ring design that I recently made for some clients. The first image is the original design and the other two are the clients custom versions. Her ring has a narrowed base and rounded corners at the "bridge" as well as a trillion cut blue sapphire and two cz's set at the bridge. His is essentially the original with a star sapphire bezel set at the middle of the bridge.

This is my first attempt at bending wood and I'm very pleased at how it turned out. A curved inner band of sterling silver holds an outer band of cherry wood, which is riveted in place. The cherry wood ring starts off as slat of wood which I steam to soften and then carefully shape into a ring and allow to dry. I now need to work on my steaming time, as the first attempt (this one) went perfectly, but the second and third attempts yielded pieces that began to splinter and separate.

Come out this weekend and try on some of my newly made rings as well as several new pendants. I have refreshed my stackable ring selection as well, including some new styles. Find me at the Sunset Valley Farmers Market from 9 till 1 and then at 1600 South Congress from 2-dark.

Come out this Saturday and pick up a pair of new earrings! I have several different Orbit earring variations as well as the Pistachio earring design. You will also find several different leaf earring designs, some new pendants and many new rings.

Here is a new silver and titanium ring that I need to come up with a name for, as well as a new variation on the Intersect Ring.
