@stracci2000 Every time you make a new piece, I saw it's my favorite, but I truly think this one is it! That thick, hammered, oxidized band is incredible!!
I want one of those really really big rings.
Like dinner plate size. What fun that would be!
But seriously, when it comes to turquoise, big is always better. Unless it's Lander Blue, then you might have to make do with a small one.....
That's a beauty!
What a great stone. I love #8.
Who made it?
Happy Piasso!
I LOVE this type of persian turq with all that glorious pyrite! I prefer it more than the non-matrixed variety, actually. And you did it justice with that stunning silverwork. It's beautimous maximus!!![]()
You are so talented
Thank you RR!
You know, I really love working with my hands. Jewelry, painting, furniture refinishing, sewing.....As long as I get to create stuff, I'm happy.
And when you start taking commissions (), I'll be first in line.
commissions are so stressful.....I don't think my heart can take it! But I appreciate your kind words!
I think I am going to begin with learning to string pearls and beads though. It’s in the to do list for the next year.
@stracci2000 I love your new pieces. I also like working with my hands and I love art and design. I have painted and done various paper arts and pottery in the past. At this phase in life I still dont feel like I have the energy to really indulge but as my kids are getting older and more independent I can see things opening up and I envision a vet near future where I too could learn this skill.

Mad skills! That is all there is to be said.

Thanks! I think it turned out well.
But the turquoise is the star! I just put it in a frame.
@stracci2000 is it hard to work with gold?
