R-A-D #208 8/2/2010 “Unidentified Specimen”
This week I made rings that could be described as tiny, delicate and simple. The first one, pictured above, features a specimen that I found at the beach, attached on a sterling silver band.
The next ring is an attempt to deconstruct summer, keeping only the basics: sand and some shells:
R-A-D #209 8/3/2010 “Deconstructing Summer”
Starting with a thin sterling silver band, mixing metals by adding a piece of brass and finishing the ring by setting a 3mm peridot cab:
R-A-D #210 8/4/2010 “Peridot Ring”
On Thursday, I was at the hospital because my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl! So this one is for my niece, made from a brochure that I found at the hospital:
R-A-D #211 8/5/2010 “A big heart for E.”
This event inspired more tiny and delicate rings, that are also stackable:
R-A-D #212 8/6/2010 “Stamped Flower”
R-A-D #213 8/7/2010 “Stamped Heart”
Stackable Silver and Brass Rings
The next design evolved from the previous ring trio: sterling silver and tube set 3mm rose-cut garnet.
R-A-D #214 8/8/2010 “Rose-Cut Garnet Ring”
I realized that stackables can be quite addictive! They’re also a great way to catch up and make the five rings that I’m missing. Today I ‘ve already made a new set of three rings and I’m posting it tomorrow!
Here’s a few of my favorite rings this week, from the Ring-a-Day Flickr Pool:
“Office” Rings by Evelyn Markasky, a real bargain!
Stunning Labradorite Ring by Kathryn Cole.
A Succulent Ring made of copper and no trace of solder by Lesley Tinnaro.
Andrea of amuckdesign is revisiting an earlier design and the result is delightful!
