Not a necklace person?

I'm not really either.

Well, sometimes I am--it comes in fits and spurts.

But right now I'm into brooches. They're feminine, vintage-e, and they make me feel artsy. This is a new brooch I just posted in my shop. Check it out!

New little diamond ring!

I just finished making this sterling silver ring with my new found stone-setting expertise and the diamonds mentioned in the previous post.
It is very delicate as the stone is only about 2 mm in diameter. There are two tiny silver balls on either side of the stone. I'm pretty happy with it. Look for it soon in my shop!

Them're diamonds!

This past weekend I took a workshop through the Society for Midwest Metalsmiths on stone setting. I finally learned how to gypsy set (or flush set, or burnish set--whatever you call it) faceted stones; something I've wanted to learn for a while.
Since diamonds are a durable stone and relatively easy to set, and since I had a tacky diamond ring from my grandma to dismantle, I think I'll be trying my hand at setting some diamonds soon!

This is an example of the kind of setting I'm talking about from Jetflair's Etsy shop.

More questions

I just made this new ring and I can't decide if I like the light background, or the dark background better. My husband votes dark, I think I'm leaning light.

Your opinions please.

This is my first attempt to shoot my new wall panels in situ. I'm not sure if I like it and thought I would see if any readers out there had suggestions.

Thanks!
