YOJ Week 6 - Amethyst cushion ring





I'm into rings these days. I misplaced a whole bunch of them over the holidays and my bare fingers are just begging for new ones... Here is just one of the styles I've been working on.
Sterling silver and amethyst cushion cab. The shank was made with 20 ga wire. The stone is attached to the shank with a modified herringbone pattern.

Wow! So different from your usual designs! It's beautiful! I love the under/over weaving technique you used, reminds me of a "Godseye" like we used to make when we were kids. It must have been quite a challenge to find just the right position so it would not wobble? Can't wait to see what you dream up next!

Irene, the stone does wobble a little until you get it stabilized with two or three wraps. This is different than the god's eye, in the sense that it does not have the same cross wires in the center, which supports the weave.
