This sparkly ring features a black druzy set in sterling and fine silver.  This stone had sparkle even in low light so if you love sparkle, this is the ring for you!!  The simple sterling band is 12 g half round wire.


My process:   I sized the fine silver bezel  to fit around the stone.  Then soldered it closed and soldered it to sterling silver sheet metal.  The sheet was trimmed with a jeweler’s saw and hand filed smooth.  The half round sterling wire was formed into a ring shank and attached to the back of the backplate.   The ring then took a spin in the tumbler for a final polish and hardening before I set the stone.

Here’s some info for my fellow rock geeks:   A druzy is sets of tiny mineral crystals that form on another mineral type.  These can be commonly found when geodes are opened.  Quartz is the most common mineral to form a druzy.
