I begin my ring making process by hand selecting each stone at one of our annual gem shows in Tucson Arizona. Here I am able to shop from vendors from all over the world. My stones, gems, fossils and everything I set is what drives my initial inspiration. I take so much pride in picking out a variety of gems for all of my projects and I hope you love them as much as I do! After deciding which stones to use the metal smithing process begins. Using traditional techniques I saw, shape, sand, file, set and polish each ring with my own two hands. It’s a labor of love I sharing with my community. This particular ring is an open shank style ring. There is a space in between the two stones on the front of the ring. The style ring is great for anyone who has swollen joints or their fingers may fluctuate. These rings are not meant to be bent back-and-forth on a daily basis, they are meant to find your size for your finger and then slightly adjust them throughout the year as your fingers may swell in different seasons. Each of the adjustable rings are slightly adjustable up and down about a half size so if the ring is listed as a size 8, it can be adjusted down to about a 7 1/2 or up to about an 8 1/2. This ring features a matrix filled fire opal with dark brown matrix and little flashes of opal within the stone. The side stone is a rose cut fire opal, and the band features hand engraved scroll pattern detail. Size 7.5
