Back in October during the skull challenge I mentioned a ring I was remodeling for a client. The trick was to keep a similar "spirit" to the shape and style, while creating a much more stable and protective setting for the large, blue glass centerpiece. After playing with several designs, I came up with one that I felt allowed the blue of the stone to remain the focus, but gave the whole piece a much more solid feel. The client was very happy with the finished piece, and I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I managed to set it without chipping or cracking the large but delicate glass focal.

Peace!
