I am wavering a bit on a name for this ring.
The hand stamped band is along the same vein as the Turkish Delights charms I made awhile back.
The deep red of the garnets make me think of a Turkish Sultan.
(and most specifically the Sultan's Harem)
Garnet is such a sexy, sultry color...
I must say I am quite pleased with the band.
I am amassing quite a collection of stamping tools.
Using them in this manner makes me think of Zentangles.
I just start stamping and one thing leads to another.
I use this stamp and that to fill in spaces.
There is something about the repetition and methodical concentration
stamping by hand requires.
And,
I got a new squarish ring mandrel that is supposed to produce rings
the true shape of the human finger.
The shape is very comfortable, and keeps the ring in place quite nicely!
I really needed repetitive this week.
My heart has been heavy for some time now.
Thank God for my work.
I don't know what I would have done without it recently.
I went back to a favorite design element of mine.
I just love the four stone cross.
Texture galore.
Heavy gauge sterling silver and gallery wire bezels.
Yes, I think her name is the Sultan's Harem.
I just can't get away from that sense of the
exotic
when I wear this ring.
