Thank you! I think I found this stone at Fire Mountain, and I fell in love with it at first sight. The band wrapping takes a little more time, but it makes the ring so much more stable than a five or six turn wrapping.
Thank you, Sandy; I fanned you back. Most of the rings I make are usually anywhere from size 5 to 7 or 8; however, I had a request for this 8.5 from a fellow Listian.
I will. Do you prefer a sapphire, or another stone? I can use any color of stone available, and can make the rings in silver, 14K gp gold, or pure non-tarnishing copper -- or a combination of any of these metals.
It's my birthstone and my sister's, too! Thank you for the sweet compliment. I enjoy making jewelry; began making it about 4 years ago when I broke my hand and had to do something to rehab my fine motor skills. Here is my web site, if you would like to see other things that I design and make: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Especially-4-You-Pat-Howard/137831796249042?ref=ts
