"I am a master metalsmith. My background is in fine art, not a
tradeschool. During my years at the bench I have worked with every
imaginable jewelry material, from platinum and diamonds to bottle
glass and copper. I am obsessed with opals and metal objects. I believe
in bringing out the beauty of a thing and then figuring out how to
show it off. Isn't that what adornment is all about?"

100 Rings 100 Days Day 30

Quartz Sterling Silver Ring

Day 30 Ring is not for sale.  Actually it is a present for someone's birthday.  So, Kelly and I were visiting a particular person, and like we always do we pick up rocks wherever we go.  This particular rock happened to be in this person's driveway.  Kelly says "Oh my gosh, look at this rock, isn't it beautiful?"  Reply "You go ahead and keep it if you like it so much" (said sarcastically).  So Kelly brought it home, cut it, and indeed it is a georgeous stone with beautiful banding.  So he set it in a ring, and she is getting it for her birthday with a little note that says "Remember this rock?"  So there.
