Week 26... wow, half way through the challenge. I wasn't sure I was going to make it this far. In the beginning it was difficult to discipline myself to get the jewelry and blog done. I made sure that the jewelry was done so that Saturday morning I could post it on the blog, and now it's just part of my Saturday routine. Recently I watched the movie Julie and Julia and saw that a weekly challenge was a piece of cake (pun intended) compared to her challenge which was a daily challenge. Although cooking each day using another persons recipes is easier than creating a piece of jewelry. Just to have the stamina to come home from work every day and cook and then write a blog - I give her a lot of credit. She also ended up getting a book deal and a movie out of it so it paid off.
The piece of jewelry that is being used for this week's challenge was actually made last week along with the pendant that I did. My co-worker asked me to make this ring and another one that is similar, one having her birthstone and the other her daughter's birthstone. It is from the same book that the pendant was in so I can't claim the design, only the skill of reading the directions and bending the wire.
The ring is called the wave ring and the little waves that go off the ring on either side of the stones really make this unique. On one side the wires are twisted to give it even more texture. The ring in the book used smaller stones so there were 3 across the top; I like the larger stones because you can see them better and also it's easier to thread the wire through them.
If you would like a wave ring just send an email to me at denise@jewelrybydm.com - it is a great ring to give as a gift because I can customize it with birthstone colors using crystals and being unique the gift won't be duplicated.
Have a great week and I hope to see you back here next week.
