First this year: an alternative way of using an ancient amazonite bead from NW Africa, set on a gold finger ring.

Gorgeous amazonite! Would love to see the ring worn. For male, female or unisex?

Your design? Do you work the metal part/s?

Yes, that bead is astounding, it was selected from a boxful of lesser beauties.
My design.
A master goldsmith does the work that is too much for me (smelting, soldering...), then I take over the rough and give it its final shape by filing, and the like.
The ring is in my opinion suitable for a woman; its inner diameter is aproximately 18 mm.

It is in fact a remake: see attached a very similar ring posted here a few years ago.
But the bead in the recent ring is nicer!
