(This was a custom order and the customer is going to supply his own stone and have it set locally; I just placed a moissanite in there to make the picture look better, but if it looks a little funny, it's because the stone isn't permanently set.)

This one isn't quite finished yet (the stone hasn't been set; it's just temporarily perched atop the bezel) but I thought I'd share it with you all anyways. It's in its second incarnation (original here), and I like this re-worked version so much more than my first attempt. I've given it a heavier, tapered handmade bezel, and I've narrowed the band down in front to meet the new, narrower base of the bezel.
