Exceptional Art Deco style ring - sterling silver - size 6 - OOAK

Description

This ring is truly one of a kind. It was a labor of love!

The stone is Botswana agate and it has a natural mosaic of red jasper in it. It is vivid and lively. I didn't cut this stone. I bought several and this is the only ofne like this that I got. The rest are a different kind of stone. I don't really know either of them. Really pretty and very unusual though.

The silver rectangle is just over 1.25 inches by just under 3/4 inch. (18mm x 34mm) The depth of the rectangular base is 4mm and it is about 1/2 inch high with the stone and the base together.

The shank is a seamless circle of 5mm width at the bottom. It is comfortable and needs the width to support the ring.

The top is filled with 9 parallel bars going top to bottom. They are reticulated and oxidized on the top. There are a zillion little posts creating a circle about the size of a dime. Ok, I didn't count them... I just filled up the space I wanted. The stone is bezel set and rests upon these posts. The posts stabilize the bars and add interest at the sides of the stone.

The ring is signed. It is .925 and .999 sterling silver.

The ring has an art deco flavor I think.

I hope someone likes it as much as I liked working on it! (and working on it, and working on it, and ... on and on. I would hate to ever tell anybody how many times I put those bars in there before they were where I wanted them and not melted... Oh Well, I learned from it and I do love the result.)

This is not a ring for a dilettante. It makes a statement about the woman who wears it.

I would love to answer any questions you have about it. I have more pictures, including one of it on my hand.

Thank you for stopping to look at my ring and reading through all this!
