Featured Artist - The Alchemists Vessel

Good Morning,

Today we head back to the shop for demonstrations, class sign up, and hoping artists or customers will stop by to see the shop and what's in the shelves.

The blog ring is on hiatus, and the shop I have wanted to feature must be doing an overhaul because the cupboard was bare.   However if you would like to check out a really neat blog with stories and other features try Yankee Burrow Creations.

This morning I feature some of my items now available on line at handmadeartists.com.  I love this site and must get more organized to find the time to return to the forum, and participate in all the wonderful things that the site has to offer.  So busy with new things I have fallen behind in the maintenance of others.

This mornings offerings are from The Alchemists Vessel shop at handmadeartists.com.  (Some of the items may also be found on Etsy).

Product Details:
U.S. Size 8-1/4. This fabulous bright blue glass cabochon organic shaped statement ring is one of a kind. Crafted from recycled materials, found or neglected items, that with much love and little attention were up-cycled into this beautiful and unique ring. Would make a great Cocktail ring, a terrific piece for dancing in the club or some flashy sparkle as you rock the night away on stage.

Definitely looks hand made, the shape of the stone has dictated the formation of the bezel, soft edges and waves accent the cabochon's shape well. An elegant ring with a very primitive appeal.

Hand forged from start to finish. The Sterling Silver shank was cleaned and the damaged metal removed. The metal was annealed (heated), re-shaped on a mandrel, sized, sanded, and soldered to the bezel back. Finishing touches include polishing.

The Fine Silver bezel is also repaired and up-cycled Empty of a stone, the missing stone has been replaced with a lovely glass cabochon that fit the setting nicely. Split along the seam, it has been soldered, sanded, cleaned and formed around the glass cabochon, which just happened to fit the bezel cup.

The glass cabochon has bubbles and inclusions inside the piece itself. These may be seen in the photos, although not immediately visible when worn, they add a nice natural look to the ring.

*Arrives boxed, ready for gift giving. (Ring box may vary)
