project runway challenge
Originally uploaded by wildflowerdesigns

after admiring maggie j and sara westermarks hollow form rings, i knew i wanted to make one.

this week's project runway challenge was to make a show stopper that was sparkly and shiny.
i thought this would be the perfect opportunity to combine some modern metalwork with my new rose cut gems.
this ring was fabricated from scratch and features two green amethyst gems.
i plan on exploring hollow form rings more in the future.

there are some pieces that you are really proud of, that you just walk away with a smile after completing them.
this pair of earrings is that for me.
i cut and filed the pieces for these ages ago and was really worried about putting them together just right.
luckily, everything worked.
