You may want to edit Susan's phone # out of the 6th picture!

But nice job! The ring is not to my personal taste, but I can certainly appreciate the work that you did.

Lol, good catch Squeek! I'm calling Susan as we speak!

The ring is too big for my taste, but it looks nice. Well, do you have big hands?

Hey guys,
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback im really happy that i finally finished it it took a lot of time! Also one of the reasons it is so large and different looking, is for when i take pictures and send them to art shows that are juried where they view your piece and decide if you skilled enough to sell at their show. Its also really large because i love heavy rings and a 1 1/2 oz is insane

Woah, I really like that ring your father made. Got any pics of anything with a ruby (sorry.. it's my birthstone, lol)?

Also, would you take on a custom job if inquired?

Looks like something Liberace would wear... Is it as uncomfortable as it looks?

Not my kinda ring , but it looks well put together though, a good first effort

Hey, nice work! Lost wax casting is one of my favorite things... such a pleasure.

So is that a pave stone setting you've got going on? How are you getting those in there, swiss hammer or just by hand?
