Opal Ringby ~SoulStoneDesigns

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry

A commissioned piece, the client supplied me with this amazing opal doublet that has every color in the spectrum and asked for a SS cuttlefish cast ring. This is by far the best ring I've made - I cast the shank straight and spent a long time filing and forming it around the bezel cup. My fingers are definitely worse for wear - a blood blister (I hammered my finger - thankfully it was the rawhide mallet and not the steel chasing hammer!), three calloused fingertips, various places where I sawed into my skin by accident, and a file jab later, this ring is finished! Henry keeps trying to swipe it.

Sometimes the best pieces evolve around a stunning gem.

What a beautiful ring! That stone is simply stunning, and you made the perfect ring for it.

And I totally feel your pain on the hand wounds lol. When I made one of my rings for school, I wound up with the same ailments haha. Hammering your finger with the rawhide mallet hurts like hell. Keep your blood blister covered with a bandage until it goes away. If you break it, it may come infected (though the urge to break it is almost impossible to ignore...). Glad your ring came out so amazing!
