I know, this is not a one-off original design. But I think that out of the many rings that I have made, she just LOVED it much more than some more complicated ones I have made for other people.
And that is all good.
A bright shiny person and a bright shiny ring and a child-like happiness.
I loved her wide smile and her enthusiasm
I realized then that the percieved ’comfortableness’ of the design makes for much happiness.
‘Nuff said.
So was he. A remake. A nice ring for a nice guy.
She brought in old gold and I made her this ring with her stones and gold.
With all my experience, I have actually not ever made a ring like this.
Similar, yes, but not like this.
Now those ten diamonds set in the bars are one pointers. They are a bitch to set.
With a microscope, the bitch is removed. ( this is a term of expression, not any chauvinism)
At my ancient age of 53, I could not set them without a microscope.
With a ’scope, it is ridiculously easy.
This is known as the vector of technology and crossing of age…..

So will Santa please bring this old lady a microscope too? Because I sure can’t see to set those tiny stones!
Love the balance in the last two rings, the importance of the negative space of the gold….

Another ten years and you will need a bigger scope just to see your hand. If I’d realized getting old was this tough I’d taken better care of my self
