Materials

I just love this design -It reminds me of something out of the Lord of the Rings movies. I started this ring by setting 2 very pretty pear shaped drops in high quality gold plated settings - 1 6x8mm and 1 13x7.8mm. I then wire wrapped them together into an equally gorgeous ring, using 14k gold filled wire, Swarovski crystals in Erinite AB2X and Tourmaline, and 14k gold filled Stardust and smooth beads.

What was your inspiration?

The crystal colors and shapes - other than that it doesn't take much for a ring junkie :)

What are you most proud of?

how well the colors and shapes worked together

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

same thing I tell everyone for every wire project - RELAX and have fun!!!

Thank you very much Cathy!! I guess I have a slight advantage working with square - Way back when I started, square was the most popular, and I learned using almost all square wire. ;)
