This is a piece I carved just for fun. It started as a doodle in my sketchbook that I liked the look of; I thought the birds kind of had a Hieronymus Bosch thing going with their inflated bodies and teeny wings. I decided to carve it into a pendant for this big fat pear blue zircon. This was an especially fun piece to make. 18K.
I love when the backsides of pieces have a little extra something-something, and the shape of the bird bodies brought to mind eyes, so I made eyes happen.

This is a design from my shop: Amphisbaena Solitaire. This is a double-headed snake which wraps around the finger holding a 7.5mm stone of your choice. Face up, this ring appears as two separate rings worn together, but on the inside of the hand, the snake bodies cross as they wrap around the finger, making for a more comfortable, narrower band underneath. Made to fit a stone around 1.5 carats (or 7.5mm diameter roughly), and can be made in the metal of your choice. Details and additional photos at the shop link.
The sample ring shown here is 14K yellow gold, and set with a 1.55ct G/VVS2 Ideal cut lab-grown diamond. It is a size 5.75-6. It is also for sale, already made and ready to ship immediately–email if interested or if any questions about this one or customized made to order versions.

Geckos and grasses carved around and holding an amazing free-form Mexican opal. 18K, opal, and diamonds.
I love to complain about how my lightbox never captures the fire in opals, and this is no joke–observe:
Can you even believe it? This is the same ring underneath a lamp. This opal was like this little oceany jelly drop and I wanted to eat it.
