Serpentine and Amethyst Ring
I thought I’d share with you some of the steps in making a ring. There are five videos that go through the basic processes. Click on the Instagram link below to see how it’s made.
The first step, which I don’t show here, can sometimes take the longest. It is the design phase. I will usually trace the main element - in this case it was the green stone. Then I’ll start playing around with shapes and adding other elements, like the two fine silver balls and the little amethyst.
What you don’t see on the videos is how the band is attached and how the stones are set into their bezels. I’ll leave that to another day.
This ring design went pretty quick. I was surprised and pleased with how it all came together, being that this was my first stone set ring ever!
