Custom sea glass ring a photo documentary of sorts

First, the client asks me to view sea glass pieces in certain colors. In this case, aqua, olive green and shades of amber

She selects her color and we discuss how it will show up against the silver backing- will it be too dark? I think it looks lovely. She agrees.

The basic setting is made. We discuss optional embellishment.

But ultimately decide against it. Sometimes it looks perfect. This chunky piece of glass stands up on its own with no need for further decoration.

The ring is completed and polished to a high shine.

But we're going for an oxidized finish, so after applying some Liver of Sulphur and buffing it back, the end result is a bold and earthy looking ring.

Gratuitous glamour shots- because I love this ring so much I'm going to use it for my custom ring listing on Etsy!
