Ginger Confetti

 

Came across this stone on Etsy while looking for something special for Julie’s 15th wedding anniversary ring. The traditional stone is rock crystal, which is basically quartz or ruby, so I thought some reddish quartz would cover both. The stone has little multicoloured flecks throughout, which makes it look like a cloud of confetti fluttering down.

For the ring, I went for my favourite square cross-section, then rounded off the 4 sides to give it a bulged square shape on the outside and a round shape in the centre. This makes for a very comfortable ring to wear with a nice-looking shape. The setting was another slightly raised mounting.
