"Stackable Silver and Brass Rings"

It all started with the above set of rings that I made recently. I was in the mood to keep things simple, as I have already mentioned before.

As I started making them, new ideas kept coming! For a couple of days it seemed almost like an addiction! One night, while out for dinner, I didn't have my sketchbook with me, so I started doodling on the paper placemats.

I call this set Fall Preview because the stamped brass leaf, combined with the brown of the smokey quartz, evoke a strong feeling of autumn. Although I'm not ready to give up on summer just yet, I always find that autumn is such a beautiful time of year.

One of the things I like about stackables is that they can be worn in many different ways: each ring separately, in sets of two or three. Some examples:

It soon became obvious that these rings would also help me catch up with Ring-a-Day and make the five extra rings that I was behind.

The next trio is made in sterling silver and features two little critters, a turtle and a butterfly:

This is how they look when they are worn together.

Finally, this last ring, although not stackable, clearly evolved from the previous designs. It's made of sterling silver, brass and a tube set 3mm rose-cut garnet.

After intensively making these little rings, all my other rings suddenly appeared huge! I'll have to re-adjust and change scale the next days!

Thanks for reading!

I love these! I really like how the last one gives the illusion of being a stacked ring, but that it’s really a spiral. I also really like the space between the band with the stone and the next two “bands”.

Thank you Anika! I had never tried to make stacked rings before and it was so much fun! I like the versatility that they have. So many options!
