Lapis Lazuli ring with twisted band size 9 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. All my metal is sterling silver .925 and fine silver .999 for the bezel unless it is a part of the mixed metal collections which in addition to the silver feature solid 14k yellow gold.
