Ethnic Ring - The Eyes are Watching

Today I am reminded of Iza when I made this Ethnic Ring. If you don't know her, check out her awesome jewelry designs here. She has an etsy shop selling tutorials here.
Anyway, back to the ring, I took longer time than usual to complete this ring. Actually I redo 3 times to get the right size. The first one was too small, on second try the wires didn't want to cooperate so I threw the whole thing into the dustbin...a bit frustrated. Finally on third try, just the size I wanted.

  1. This is a gorgeous ring Mei...as you know I love amethyst, which it looks as though that is what you used for both sides of the the center beads in this ring...

    I visited Iza's sites and she is amazingly talented!!!

    Cheers

  3. I have been following and enjoying your work for quite a while. When I saw this ring I had to reach out you. Love it! It also pointed out to me how inspiration can occur in more than one place at a time. I just recently completed a ring based on the "Eye of Horace." I hope you'll check it out on my blog.

  4. Hi Gloria, I just have a glimpse of your blog and I am heading back right after this. Thanks for commenting. I always love to hear what others have to say about things I post here. And this time around, inspiration do occur in more than one place at a time :)
