nicilaskin — bear

I was procrastinating today a bit and those 2 rings are the results I am actually supposed to work on fathers day orders but for some reason I got side tracked i used galery wire for the so called bezel setting wrapped once around the stone tightly to make the setting soldered the ends together so they form a ring place the stone inside there is a lot of forming going on with you fingers so that the stone sits tight but can be taken out without loosing the shape of the bezel I traced around the bezel to make...

fresh from the bench spirit bear and garnet I made my own die for pressing out the bears soldered on a bezel cup and added some stars also punched a hole patina to darken the stars polished the bear added jump ring and chain
