Fresh off the bench, #8 turquoise ring

[stracci2000]

I made a ring today for DH.
He picked out this stone at the recent gem show that we attended, and I promised to make him a ring.
He liked the Royston ring I did last week, so I made him a similar one.
Here is the Royston ring thread:

I finally got inspired and made a ring tonight. This stone is Royston turquoise from Nevada. I took some photos of the process.

So here are the photos of DH's new turquoise ring from the #8 mine in Nevada.
I gave it a brushed finish.











And here it is on DH's hand

I'm glad that he likes jewelry!
He has a bunch of rings, and wears them all the time.

We have fun here! DH is a photographer, so he's an artist, too.
We both have lots of creative things going on all the time!

Thank you! I really love making my own jewelry.
It really is a satisfying hobby. It's even better when stuff turns out as planned!
