Dinosaur bone ring

Stay tuned, I have a Megalodon Piece in the works with Alex Park, it's nearly finished! Sorry to threadjack.

Oh my! I can't wait to see this!
But they are so big....I'm trying to imagine how it could be used in jewelry!

Wow, that's interesting information! I have not heard of this before. I will definitely look into it.

Edit:
I did some research just now online.
There's a guy who is the guru of gembone, which is the term for dinosaur bone cut for jewelry.
He has a video where he tests the radioactivity in pieces that are cut for jewelry. His tests show that the level of radioactivity in small cut pieces is very minimal and basically harmless.
Wow! Thanks for the info, I would never have known this!

So glad it turned out okay!

I adore the look of your new piece, its pattern is so striking and what a conversation starter too!

many/most dinosaur bones are mildly radioactive.

That's probably how they got so big in the first place

Haha, thanks for all the info! DH didn't seem too worried about the potential hazard!
We both laughed that it would be like a 1950s sci-fi flick, where the unknowing guy turns into a monster from wearing a radioactive dino bone ring that his wife made!

Last month DH and I went to our local gem and mineral show.
Luckily, he likes weird rocks almost as much as I do!
He picked out this cool dinosaur bone cab, which we bought from the guy who cut it.

I promised to make him a ring. So this was today's project.







Here it is on my hand.




And here it is on DH's hand....he likes it!
He's also wearing a fire agate ring I made for him. He likes jewelry.......and that makes me so happy!

It's such a statement piece. You're very talented.

Thank you!
He likes big rings. He is a professional photographer, so it kinda goes with that whole artsy thing he has going on.
I think he is channelling his inner rock star!
