Still more rings

Okay, I know I just posted some new rings, so why the heck am I posting again, two minutes later? Because these babies deserve their own post, that's why. Up until now, I have hesitated to dip my toe into the pool of artists making stackable rings, because I didn't want to do what everyone else was already doing - I wasn't sure what I could offer that was new, different, and unique. I am happy to report that the dedicated creative time I took over the last couple of days allowed me to come up with what I feel is an exciting answer...

This first ring combines a polished sterling silver center band with a chunky rutilated quartz cabochon flanked by two oxidized and polished sterling silver bands. I love the way the black and white bands play off the black and white stone - very modern and striking.

(The rings can, of course, be worn individually as well, although I'm not sure why you'd want to when they look so fabulous all together!)

This second ring is for me, me, me. In fact, I'm wearing it now, with no plans to take it off anytime soon! Here, a Swiss blue topaz cabochon gets the same treatment as above, with the subtle addition of a band of square wire surrounding this luscious neon-blue stone.



Matt likes the first one best, and I tend to agree that the whole black/white theme is indeed quite effective, but for my own ring I wanted something smaller, with a low profile, easy to wear every day. Many times lately, I have found myself in conversations with people who, upon hearing what I do for a living, ask if I'm wearing any of my own creations, and I sheepishly reply 'no'... I have a tendency to sell everything I make, seldom keeping anything for myself, and the one ring I have made for myself is pretty huge - not the best for daily wear. So this one's mine, but I'd be happy to re-create it for anyone else who wants to purchase one.

I have a feeling I'm going to be making lots more of these stacked black and white rings, and I kind of want to come up with a name for this style, but I'm totally stumped... they remind me of Oreo cookies, but that would probably be some kind of copyright infringement. :-) Any ideas?
