Here a few of my recent creations. Most of my work has been in copying other designs or doing small-time repair work.

During a recent art retreat I offered to buy my daughter any cabochon that “sang” to her, She chose denim lapis and I built this ring for her…

I made the same offer to grand-daughter and she chose a purple spiny oyster cab. Here is the ring I built for her…

I’m still learning!

Congratulations! These are so very beautiful. What lucky girls your daughter and grand-daughter are :slight_smile:

The lapis one is beautiful - did you pierce the bezel yourself and is it gold?

Jeff Klein has a shop on Etsy where he sells that fire bezel in sterling, copper and brass.

The bezel wire was found at a local jewelry supply and is available from Jeff Klein on Facebook. He now has several variations in silver, copper and brass. On my ring, all materials are Sterling or better.

Jeff Klein bezel wire; silver.

The settings are beautiful, I really love them. I’m a fan of Jeff Klein’s bezels as well, it turned out very beautifully!
