Inspired by a design I spotted online. Building the claw setting holder from individual tiny pieces of silver was very fiddly and took a couple of goes to get the soldering sequence right. First time the prongs all fell apart when adding the last prong because of just a tiny bit too much heat. The stone is a 5mm trillion cut aquamarine and it just snapped nicely into place at the end. The ring was cut from a sheet of 2mm silver and reminds me of an eye. probably one of my favorite pieces so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133340_Canon_G16-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133340_Canon_G16-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133340_Canon_G16-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133340_Canon_G16-210x157.jpg 210w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133340_Canon_G16.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"243\" src=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133332_Canon_G16-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133332_Canon_G16-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133332_Canon_G16-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133332_Canon_G16-210x157.jpg 210w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133332_Canon_G16.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133333_Canon_G16-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133333_Canon_G16-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133333_Canon_G16-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133333_Canon_G16-210x157.jpg 210w, https:\/\/stuartcupit.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo_0133333_Canon_G16.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was probably my trickiest ring to date.
