Last Jewelry Project of 2011...

 This was a fun project I worked on for a friend. As many of you already know, I work with spoon rings most of the time, where we collect vintage spoon patterns often from the turn of the century.


 One of my favorite patterns was a pair of vintage sugar cube tongs that was made to look like bird claws. I made it into a spoon ring and got surprisingly low feedback in our etsy store, so I decided to spice it up.


 I happened to have an old sapphire my grandmother had as a loose gem for years. It was practically begging to be used for a project like this. Passed it on to my best friend, and I hope she passes it down to her children someday.

Vintage Silver Upcycled ring with 6mm round Orange Sapphire

Woot!

 Planning on doing more fun jewelry projects soon, keep an eye out!
