Thanks very much for your kind words! I really enjoy making jewelry.
I’m just a hobbyist, trying to have fun!

At the local gem and mineral show, my husband picked out this dinosaur bone cabochon, with a ring in mind. So I recently obliged.
Shown here on my hand.

They are all beautiful pieces. I have recently become very interested in fire agate and that stone is gorgeous. I love the first ring too. The stone is very pretty

Thank you @CyanideRose18
We picked out the fire agate from a vendor that had a whole table of them, it was so hard to choose just one!

This one was an experiment.
I have this turquoise watch cuff that I was never going to wear. It was a gift that I’ve had for over 15 years. I was tired of seeing it in my jewelry box, lonely and unloved.
I’ve wanted to change it for a long time, and today was the day. I just made a turquoise insert to replace the watch. It turned out pretty good!
I took the first photo after I started to remove the watch.

I see a “well worn” future now with this cuff. Experiment/Success

I’m glad you like it! Every time I looked at that watch, I was sad. I wanted to love it… But I didn’t, you know what I mean?
It’s much improved now, I think.
I don’t know the origins of any of the stones.
I could guess and say the band stones may be Sleeping Beauty. The replacement stone could be Morenci. It’s just a stone I had in my stash.
But I really don’t know.

Great job! I like the setting shape and nicely matched stone and bezel.

Whatever the case, it’s a pretty stone. I’m just always curious.
It can be fun to repurpose. I had a small belt buckle made into a pendant, and now I’m thinking about someday having one of my mom’s stirrup leathers made into a belt.
Great job!

Beautiful job 
That stone looks like it was meant to be there.

I’m definitely going to get more of this material from the next gem show later this month.
