before & after

this weekend i finally finished the ring i've been working on in my jewelry class! i used one of the stones i showed you a few weeks ago. it's a beautiful silvery blue gray chalcedony druzy from brazil. i love how it feels very organic and sparkles in the light. it kind of looks like a rose too! i'm so happy with how it turned out.

works in progress...

can you believe it's already thursday? i feel as though this week is flying by! i wanted to share a necklace i just finished in my jewelry class. i formed the links from sterling silver, fused them together and then hammered them for a bit of texture. what do you think?

my next project is to turn this guy into a ring! i'm really excited about it. it's a silvery blue brazilian chalcedony and i think it sort of looks like a rose... 

now let's hope it all goes according to plan...
