A keeper...

I started creating this ring,

with the intention of putting it into the shop...


...but it has become a keeper...


...a reminder of a very difficult, emotional few weeks...


...too precious to part with...


...so it will be remaining with me...


But that's ok, 

a girl can never have too many jewels, non? ;-)


P.S.  Although I'm keeping this ring for myself, I'll be making something similar to put into the shop :-)

Hunting for treasure...

That's what it feels like,


when I switch off my tumbler,


and go hunting through the steel shot...


Can you see it?  A glimmer of silver?  A hint of what lies beneath...


...searching...




...for sparkling silver...


Oh-so-shiny...


...and gleaming jewels...




...perfectly polished...



...and ready for a pretty patina!

I don't think I shall ever tire of this kind of treasure hunt ;-)

Stay tuned for a preview of the finished jewels!
