Source: After getting a very nice compliment on my other ring I wanted to post another ,I hope you like it.
Silverstar1............ +100 Iif this is all your own work (including casting the findings), then you are indeed a craftsman. I love your work and cannot get enough of your examples. Please keep posting. As an aside, are you still making your own workmanship?
Thanks Lucky Luke! Yes I make everything inc. settings (except for chains, earing backs and such) I do not do my own casting , I thought about it years ago but one can only do so much and to get the quality I get from my casting company I would have to spend 10s of thousands$ they use completly digital stuff and they turn out nearly perfect. Yes I still do all my own stuff although I have slowed down the past few years and now mostly do custom work for my clients and other jewelers. I have been doing this for over 18 years so I kind of have writers block coming up with new designs and a little burn out plus alot less time than i used to . I will post some more photos soon . Thanks for the interest!
