TEARS OF JADE-Jade Sterling Silver Ring





This ring was inspired by my cousin who passed a few years ago at a very young age...♥She was a gorgeous person and a beautiful spirit♥...

This ring was 100% handcrafted using a Beautiful tear drop shaped Jade, bold green color...She measures 10.5mmx15mmx5mm...just about an 1/2 inch in length...I used a thick sturdy back plate and a scalloped bezel to hug her tight...I then made heat formed balls to wrap around the jade...I also added a handmade swirl at the bottom of the tear drop...
The band is a gorgeous beaded band at a SIZE 7...(this ring can not be re-sized)..I stamped the back with my trademark of a tiny crossbones...I then hand brushed a patina to her to accent the art that surrounds her..I hand polished, shined and then tumbled her for hours for strength and shine...

JADE~is an ancient stone that has historically been used to attract love..Jade is also a protective stone..The soothing green color of jade makes it a wonderful healing stone. It helps the body in self-healing while working through underlying, non-physical reasons for a precipitation for disease. It is particularly helpful for kidney, heart and stomach complaints.

POPPIES AND LEAVES-Poppy Jasper Sterling Silver Ring






Poppies and leaves was inspired by Fall and all the changes in mother earth...

I have set a gorgeous Poppy Jasper into sterling silver..Measuring 22mmx22mmx6mm (approx 1in x 1in) She is hugged securely by scalloped bezel and sits on a sturdy back plate...I set two thick leaves and silver spiral and heat formed ball next to stone, hand sawing around designs I hand filed and buffed her...The Poppy Jasper bursts with oranges, yellows, browns, greens, which you will also see small poppy like flowers..This is where this stone gets her name...I used a thick textured band US SIZE 7..(this ring can not be re-sized..The back is stamped with my initials of CBR...I hand brushed a patina to make the detail pop..Then tumbling her for hours for strength and shine...

Poppy Jasper acts somewhat like adrenaline, waking up and energizing areas of the body that appear to be sleeping. It is believed to encourage a deep connection with the life of the Earth. It inspires a positive, joyful attitude and gives the motivation and energy to take creative action.
