Do over!

This is a ring that I cast several years ago. After setting the stone I noticed it was set on a slight diagonal. It was not enough of an angle that it looked like it was intentional so I decided to flank the the stone with smaller ones set in a way that it would accentuate the diagonally set center stone. After looking for years, I finally found a variety of small amethyst that would fit in the tiny space available on the ring shank. 

So...what do you think? Did I get the redo right?

Celebration

Here is my latest. I came up with the concept a few weeks ago and made the prototype yesterday. I am calling it celebration. I really like the simplicity of it and the balloons can be done in a variety of gemstones making it adaptable to any celebration...birthdays, anniversaries, Forth of July, etc. This one is done in garnets and sterling silver. The stones are flush set and the strings are pierced.
