“Seed of Infinity”
This custom ring was the second “promise” ring to be made in my mobile studio. The center stone is Siberian Jade that I cut at the Tucson Gem Show and inlayed with 24k gold in my studio. It was fabricated from 18k rose gold and 18k yellow gold filigree which includes sapphires representing different colors of chakras. The ring is hand engraved with bright cut leaves in the filigree, milgrain, and a tiny seed of life on the underside of the shank, set with a 1mm diamond. It was made in the spirit of honoring abundance, seeds, and a love of life and all things living.
