New Springtime Turquoise Rings

 These beauties just got finished today and I even had time to take photos and list them on my Etsy shop. It helped that the kids were away for the afternoon!  Ah...a momma's life.




































The beautiful blue, aquarium looking stone is so delicious to me! It's a Kingman Turquoise from Arizona. I set it in a fine silver bezel and soldered that to the sterling silver base plate. I then made up some fine silver granulated balls of various sizes and soldered them around the bezel.  Of course I sawed out a nice heart in the back to show more of this beauty.







































This pretty pastel, robin's egg like turquoise is also covered in a faint white webbing like pattern. It's really pretty!






































I hand stamped the outside of the bezel for more decoration and added a few hearts and a bubble.
