One of the designs that I most enjoy working with is mixed crystal rings. My studio is full of little crystal terminations of all types, in all sizes.
The ring will be built with the 4mm sterling silver band of your choice. It can be smooth, or can also be given a hammered finish. I can make it as a solid, soldered band or as comfortably-finished adjustable band.
The bezel is the part of the ring that holds the crystals. You can choose the shape you would like your bezel to be, from teardrop shaped, to round, to squarish, or anything else you can imagine. The bezel will be built in fine silver. I can also build up an organic texture on the bezel, such as you see in the first ring. The bezel size for this listing is around 3/4"-1" in length. Please get in touch with me for a custom listing for a smaller or larger bezeled ring.
I have included links to other pieces in my collection that have the same types of crystals- please click to have a look.
You may choose from a variety of crystals- these include various-sized points in:

chunky green apatite- no pictures yet, but it is an emerald green and fairly opaque
Your chosen crystals will be firmly embedded into the bezel using jeweler's epoxy. I can also add a layer of hand-tinted resin around the crystals' bases- see an example of this effect, with purple resin, in the final photo.
Your final choice is the finish on the ring, which can be either a high shine or a gorgeous matte lustre finish.
Please let me know your ring size, design choices (bezel shape, type of band, metal finish), and crystal choices during check-out. If you would like to get in touch for help with design choices, I am more than happy to work through the options and details with you.
Your ring will not be shipped without photos being sent you to you first for your approval. I don't send custom work out until the customer is satisfied with my creation.
