I originally made a similar ring to this as part of the Natural Mandala series of rings that I made in November last year. I didn’t end up listing that particular ring because when I was setting the last stone it cracked in half, I did manage to remove the stone and replace it but the bezel was ruined in the process. I loved the ring so I decided to remake it as part of a collection of jewellery that I’ve been working on, although this time it has a wider spirally band.   I’ve almost finished the new pieces, I just need to set the stones and add little finishing touches to all of them.  I’m going away to the mountains for five days tomorrow so I won’t get a chance to work on them until I get back, hopefully I’ll have some photos to show you in a few weeks.  Michele x
