see, i wasn't lying; i am getting the shop updated for the humongous SALE this weekend.
these are some of the stacking rings i have been working on.
i still haven't decided what i think.
i bought a ring mandrel with a flat side to use for large cabs, but i decided to use it and set several small stones on its surface instead.

you may remember a couple of weeks ago i went down to the mullet festival.
while there, i picked up a dozen small cabs and decided that most will go into stacking ring sets.
i tried to do some simple stacking rings before, but i did not like the made to order aspect.
this go round i will be making quite a few sets that will be sold as is.

i LOVE flowers (now who hadn't guessed?)
i contacted beth (one of my fellow etsymetalers) a couple of months ago about getting one of her dandelion wishes wedding bands.
now i am married and have been for a while, so its not like i needed the band. i just loved the idea of dandelion tufts floating around my finger all day.
she whipped up my ring in such a short time and i have barely been a day without wearing it. it so suits my personality that i feel lucky to have found it.

and, if you don't love flowers quite as much as i do, beth also has some wonderful organic pieces and some other options for wedding bands.
