Jewelry Art: My Favorite Ring
Despite its simplicity, there's a reason this ring is my favorite - and that is that it's YOUR favorite! I've been making this ring design for over 18 years, and it's always been a best-seller at the fairs I've done coast-to-coast. Variations on this bubbly theme were some of the very first designs I handmade in jewelry 30 years ago.
I also make a plain version of this ring (with no pearl), but this one with a plump, pinkish freshwater pearl is actually the first version I came up with. I guarantee the pearl will remain intact: First, I drill each pearl and set it on a silver post that is cast into the ring, and secondly, I use EPOXY to hold it on. More tedious to use, but it's much tougher than traditional pearl cement. So ... if you ever lose the pearl, just send it back to me, and I'll put a new one on at no charge!
I can make this ring in virtually any size - it looks GREAT on any finger. Just specify your size, and I'll make one just for you for $58. plus $10 shipping & handling. Just Email me at: David@StewartArt.com , or call me personally at the studio:(505) 296-1400.
I am an Artist working in many media – Jewelry, Sculpture and Painting are my main venues, but I also do calligraphy & type design, logo design, commercial jewelry design & wax carving, graphics & prints, drawings, illustration, and Objets d’Art. I work in wood, stone, bronze, precious metals, watercolor, acrylic, oil, pen & ink, and a bit on the computer as well. Art & creation is what I do, and who I am. Life is a smorgasbord! It's ALL fun. To those who would suggest that doing too much leaves one unfocused, I would reply, "specialization is for insects!". One of the rewards of working in multiple media is that each one breathes new life into the next. The crossover keeps things constantly fresh and interesting.
My mom bought one of these rings from you in L.A. many years ago. It is still one of her favorites.
