Artist's Comments
A project well over a year in planning, finished.
The Stone:
The Spinel shows a nice range of color from light red to very deep, blood red. Cynthia chose this stone specifically for it's high degree of extinction, which enhances the blood-pool effect of the deep red reflections. When worn it tends to only show the deep reds in one side of the stone at a time.
The Ring:
The prongs are meant to resemble teeth or claws, and the shank texture is an abstracted scale pattern.
This is my first lost-wax piece. A local jeweler taught me how to carve wax and create prongs for this project. A local casting professional did the actual cast. Meeting these people through this project has taught me a lot and opened up many doors.
We have a rubber mould to make another if we please, but sometimes it's more fun to fight over who gets to wear it.

In far too many of the jewelry pieces I see, the prongs are are insipid, afterthoughtish things. These actually have character. In fact, they look so good, I think they could be larger. The texture came out great, too.
This is one awesome piece! I love the level of abstraction that still preserves the "dragonish" feel and the precision of the work is just awe-inspiring. Wonderful design and execution!
