That is a good observation and way to put it. The proportions are very pleasing. Almost a yin yang type symmetry.
As much as I love old things and think what you did is wonderful the idea of working with a jar of someone else’s saliva is nauseating, lol. My...
Ah thank you! Great eye! Not sure how I missed this when browsing shops. Looks like Maisels had a long history. After the original owners closed...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Can’t decipher the makers mark on this ring. Part of a lot that was mostly verified Navajo jewelry. I assume...
That mountainous Tibetan region I knew there was a lot used, if not mined. South America makes sense I guess. I’ll check out some different...

Went to pick up some artwork from an online auction purchase. Got there and there was a few pieces leaning against the wall and I was basically...

Thanks I liked it off the bat too! Although I was easily convinced it was Irish that does somehow feel more right to the look of this ring. I...
Well let the mystery continue then!!!
