Sterling silver and moonstone ring
Haven’t done a metamorphosis in awhile! I’ve been meaning to and have another two on the go, time has just gotten away from me!
For this metamorphosis, Tara wanted a new wide-band ring with a lighter stone. She had plenty of stones but they were darker than what she wanted, so she purchased this moonstone from me.
I tried repurposing some of the bands she had on other rings as the base for this ring but the bands were weak once they were cut down to the size I needed to make a new triple-band. So instead I used a set of three rings that I had lying around. I didn’t make them (these types of rings are machine-made - it’s not that they can’t be made by hand but it would take forever and be very expensive and they wouldn’t be “even'“ so you either buy the beaded wire and make rings or you buy the rings already made). I bought the trio once for a project but then never used them and I found them again while I was working on this ring so I think it was kind of meant to be!
I made the vessel for the moonstone, attached it to the ring trio, then set the stone and polished it. It’s simple and it wasn’t one of the most complex things I’ve made but I’m really happy with how it turned out.
