I seldom make rings, but I'm feeling a need for extra fun, and adorning my fingers is just one way to accomplish this! A very simple design, this "Big Top" ring holds a small brass disk, a beach pebble, and a large hammer textured, forged sterling silver disk which I've patinaed with liver of sulfur. I love the subtle deep teal and coppery shades that were achieved! A nifty thing about this ring is that the top spins with the flick of a finger and it makes a soft jingle with every hand movement! A length of 12 gauge argentium silver was used for the post and band of this ring. I'm thinking of making more of this type of ring, perhaps piercing the large silver disk with lots of tiny holes and substituting a polymer clay button for the pebble. The pendant serves as a necklace when hung from a chain - double fashion mileage. Lightweight, but extremely sturdy, it's sure to get comments!
