Star garnet ring


This ring has a number of my favorite components in it to make a design. First of all sterling silver and 9kt rose gold together I love the softer silver colour with the pink hue of rose gold.
The twisted rope look of the shank is a process I mastered in my apprenticeship because I made meters of it, (you would think I be sick of it instead I love the design) small twisted rings were all the rage back then. The last component is an unusual stone, which in this design is a garnet with a star left unpolished on the table of the stone. The red of the garnet goes well with the pink of the gold.
