Silver Wooden Ring With Cross and Shells

I am wishing you all a Happy & Healthy New Year!

I agree, it has been a very long time since my last post. But I haven't been exactly sitting around, either. I have been working on many exciting and extraordinary projects.

One of these projects: designing and constructing a custom sterling silver ring with wood, cross and shells. The dark red wood is mahogany and has been applied using epoxy. I have cast the shells and cross separately. Six welding points connect the shells to the shank.

Take a look at this series of images that illustrate the entire process from initial conception of the idea to casting, assembling and finishing of the ring. The first three drawings and illustrations have been provided by Director Mick Traen. Visit his website here.

Swirly Wedding Band Variations II

And while I am working on a swirly wedding band for an etsy customer, I might as well post more pictures of additional modifications I have done. Shown here are three more versions, one involving a bezel set stone mounted on top of the band, with sapphires set in the swirls. As I keep receiving more request for customized versions of the swirly band, I will post pictures here!

Swirly Wedding Band Variations I

It's good to be back in blogging business after the summer break! One of my most popular items at the ADZIA etsy shop is this swirly, curly gold wedding band. I started out making the band in 14k white gold, but customers have increasingly been requesting their own custom version, which I think is really cool! Posted above are pictures of a few variations on my swirly wedding band.
