Kingman turquoise ring

[stracci2000]

Hey everyone, I'm at it again!

Here's a Kingman turquoise ring I finished this morning.
I had the stone for over a year and finally decided what to do with it.
A big ring, of course!
Here are a bunch of pictures.

Thanks @seaurchin !
I am trying to be creative on this last weekend before I have to go back to work on Jan 2.

Thanks @Daisys and Diamonds !
Making jewelry makes me happy. It's art that you can wear!

I like a big statement ring.

Thanks @LightBright !
I try really hard to be neat and precise. I find that I do better work when I take my time and go slow.

Well done @stracci2000 (as usual!) The whole thing is beautiful, but I especially like the additional bead detail on the band-it adds a special touch!

M'lady, doesn't your hand get tired when you put this on? It's humongous!

Thank you! Of course, the band needed something, so I hoped it would work okay. It always an experiment!

Haha! I do love a large turquoise ring! Go big or go home, right?
I have a few that are bigger than this one, actually.
Nothin like a big knuckle buster!

Very pretty design and the turquois is lovely. You do such beautiful work.

I love a big ring! It's a beautiful piece of turquoise, and you wear it so well! And agreeing with the others, I love that you added the detail on the band.

Thank you! I really love this piece of turquoise. The Kingman mine known for producing this type, called waterweb or sometimes bird's-eye.

I just bought my first turquoise today (some beads), so looked through the whole Show Me Your Turquoise thread over the last few days (link here for those who haven't seen it). You have such an incredible collection and this new ring is amazing too! How fun to see your design process as well.

Thank you for the nice compliment!
I'd love to see your beads.
I like to show the process because some people might be curious. I'm by no means a professional, just a hobbyist.

Bezelmania! Another masterpiece that looks just perfect on you. What a gorgeous stone.

Love the texture on the band!

I'll post them when they arrive! I have some Sleeping Beauty and some Fox on the way, both small in diameter. I'll do the Sleeping Beauty with gold a la Mary Henry and the Fox with silver.

I'm knotting them myself and am relatively new to that, but unlike bezel setting and soldering it seems like there isn't a way to ruin anything if I make a mistake! Your jewelry-making methods are much more intimidating, but they really make beautiful results with your wonderful eye for proportion.

@newtojewels
Oh this will be beautiful! The yellow gold beads are so pretty with turquoise.
Please show us when you get it done!

Wow! You’re very talented at setting!! Love it!!

Hi world traveler!
I'm sorry but I don't do custom work anymore.
These days, I only make jewelry for myself.
But thank you for the nice compliment!

Please share how your necklace turns out!

@stracci2000, as always, your turquoise ring is . The oxidation on this design is so lovely.
