Daily Wire Jewelry Making Tip

Question:
I have a customer that gave me a stone and said she wanted a ring made. Well, the stone is not a normal stone that you would put in a ring, well what I put in rings anyway, so do you have any patterns I could use. The stone is triangle and flat.
Answer:
Almost any stone can be made into a ring using the Classic Cabochon or Pharaoh’s Ring pattern.

Oh don’t you hate it when someone brings you a shape that isn’t what you were expecting? It suddenly requires a bit more thought as to the design for sure. Dale is right, the Pharoah’s ring will work fine for that. I have had her show me that it can be done and it turns out looking great~~~
