Black Star Diopside Ring

[stracci2000]

I was looking for something to do, to take my mind off current events.
So jewelry to the rescue.
This is a black star diopside that I pulled from an old ring project that I no longer like.

Beautiful ring and wonderful talent @stracci2000

How cool! I love black star sapphires, and only discovered recently that diopside can display asterism. You did it justice with your beautiful silver work! Kudos!!

Thanks @Garnetgirl and @Autumn in New England!
I was just staring at my small pile of loose stones and didn't feel motivated. So I looked through some old rings I made years ago, and this stone started talking!

Is there anything more satisfying than repurposing old gemstones?

I do it often!

I do it often!

And you actually can! I must have someone else disassemble and reassemble everything!!

Thank you @seaurchin @mayday @Mreader
I have so much fun doing this.
Here it is paired with my fire agate that I recently made. I like a bold look!
