Lightning Ridge in a Peony



This little black opal silver ring was a challenge at every stage in its making!! With it finally done, I wanted to capture some of its fire in a June Peony.

more sawing needed



I haven't posted in a long time, but I have many projects to post and get caught up with on here!
This is a recent silver ring I have been working on with a 6x4 mm opal from Coober Pedy. I cut out the notch in the band to make it more interesting but I have decided I am going to cut the band back more and make it thinner. So this is the last picture of this ring in this incarnation before I get in there with my saw...
