Three rings in three consecutive days. I began with the opals that have been lying in a box in my workbench for a few years. I bought the opal in matrix at a trade fair about 5 years ago and decided to pair it with a small opal triplet which was in the same box. Then I realised I had become interested in the bezel settings again. I used to make bezel settings all the time but haven’t done this for a while either. The teardrop textured piece of the second ring is made in art clay silver and was in a box of bits on my bench. I made it when I was showing a student how to make a mould. It was from a plastic button. The round bezel is then filled with resin and gold leaf. The third ring I have used another bit of art clay silver that was lying in my bits box and made this double bezel. In the shallow one I have used tinted resin and in the larger deeper bezel I have used clear resin and tiny chopped up bits of red thread. I am really enjoying making bezels so will have to do some more soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
