Gem Rings (Prong Set)
The setting technique I invented for these gemstone pieces provides maximum light to the stone and a completely new look. The prongs are stainless steel with a notch that fits on the girdle and provides a sturdy mount that can be undone if needed to replace or repair the stone.
The bands are stainless steel and depending on the design of the ring, most can be removed and the ring resized. The mounts are aluminum, contoured in endless ways and finished in a variety of textures.
I can make a custom one just for you using your gem or mine.

Gem Rings (Other Settings)
Tube setting, post mounting and adhesives constitute the setting techniques for these gemstone pieces. In tube setting, the mount is entirely lathe-turned and the gem opening established. The gem is held by a lathe-turned tube inserted from behind. Half-drilled gems are mounted by a pin. Cabochons are adhered into machined recesses or to a spider-mounted pad.

Metalfiori Rings
These rings feature grains of glass in metal tubes all set in resin, a technique I call "metalfiori,” an allusion to the Italian millefiori glass. I use twelve colors of glass grains to create the designs. Each grain is set by hand. Some Venetian glass, tiles and mirrors and other glass design elements are used also.
The narrow bands are stainless steel and depending on the design of the ring, most can be removed and the ring resized. The wide bands are bent aluminum and cannot be resized. The mounts are aluminum, contoured in endless ways and finished in a variety of textures.

Plastic Rings
These pieces are lathe-turned plastic either in the natural raw color or hand-colored and sealed with a flexible coating. The tendrils are part of the cutting process and are left on some pieces as a design motif. The plastic is flexible and very strong, but intentional folding will make a crease and crack the color and coating. Glass and other plastic elements augment the hand-made ones. The components are drilled and set by a screw to the lathe-turned aluminum band. They are not resizable.

Many of them are designed to be worn in more than one way. On the index or little finger, they can be worn rotated to one side which gives a different look. Others can be worn upside down on any finger for a different look.
