New star ruby ring for DH

[stracci2000]

I hope you guys aren't tired of me posting my projects!
Yesterday, I bought some gems, and DH claimed this star ruby.
So I made him this ring tonight. The stone is not transparent, but I liked the dark red color. I was thinking of an industrial, rugged kind of setting, to compliment the stone. I'm so glad my DH likes jewelry!


And below is a photo on DH's hand. He likes it!

You are so impressive! Nice job!

Very nice! Is there any chance he will let you take a pic with it on his hand?

The last photo is the ring on his hand!
I have 'old lady' hands, and his hands look better than mine these days!

You are so impressive! Nice job!

Thanks, lovedogs!
It kept me off the internet all evening, so that's a good thing.

You did a terrific job! I hope he loves it.

 

[stracci2000]

You did a terrific job! I hope he loves it.

He says he likes it, and he's wearing it now. He's hard on his jewelry, so I hope it survives! Long ago I made him a ring with an indicolite, and he totally scratched up the stone. This stone might last longer, I hope!

Wow, how talented you are! This is great!

Fabulous Stracci! Great proportions and beautiful work...it has a wonderful restfulness in the placement of the forms. He is one lucky guy!

Well, I'm slow and I take a lot of breaks!
Actual work time, planning, cutting, trimming, filing, polishing, petting the cat, etc., Maybe 2 hours?

Two things about this are so awesome, first that you can make a ring that looks so amazing and the second is having a husband that actually takes an interest and enjoys wearing jewelry!

Thanks Stracci.......I made an assumption about whose hands they were! Again, good job and glad he's already putting it to good use.......

Looks great on him! I love your design, which has a beautiful balance and energy of classic forms, curved and triangular.
