The following photos show some of my work that my mother or I have worn for the past 30 years.\u00a0 They are in the style I used when I started creating jewelry.
\nAll the rings I sold back then were one of a kind because I did not know how to make molds.
\nAll the rings have held up well and probably will be worn by many of my following generations..
\nI hazard a guess that the designs would be extremely difficult and time consuming to fabricate because of the textures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following Ganoksin blog illustrated some various textures that can be created in wax.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note the turquoise and coral dots in the textured areas.<\/strong> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>I have worn this ring off and on for 30 years.<\/strong> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

\nThis is my wedding band.\u00a0 For 20 years I have worn it when I am not working.\u00a0 I have had to stretch it several times as my knuckles grew in <\/strong>size.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\n This ring is mine.\u00a0 I have worn it on me right hand when ever I attended a show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I created this ring around 30 years ago.\u00a0\u00a0 I just happened to run into my customer this year.\u00a0 I could not get him to take it off so I could photograph it.\u00a0 He works in construction.\u00a0 The ring showed signs of wear that could have easily been polished away.<\/strong> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

My Mom\u2019s ring.\u00a0 She had it for 30 years and wore it quite often.\u00a0 The way she wore it points out that not all rings are worn every day for 30 years and therefore do not have to have the same grain structure as a fabricated ring.<\/strong> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

As a treat for my granddaughters I copied some small wooden netsuke figures.\u00a0 I made a mold of the wood piece, shot wax then hollowed the wax out.\u00a0 These figures are three D and would be impossible to fabricate out of silver.<\/p>\n
