"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 28

Garnet with Floral Accents Sterling Silver Ring, size 7, $125.00
We are trying out a new ring shape here. Well, I shouldn't say it is "new" because it has been around since ancient Babylonian times. I like the curves of the lines, and Kelly wanted to add something special to the sides that frame the garnet, so he has hand engraved each with a floral pattern. Do you like the shape? Not only do the raised sides serve as a place for extra decoration, but they also protect the garnet from impact. Clever, no?

If you like the shape of this ring, you also might want to check out our Day 9 Ring, which is a Spiral Fossil Walrus Ivory Sterling Silver Ring, it has the cool shape and the Ivory Rotates!
