How many ways can metal hold a stone?  Curves and angles, swirls, and what to leave out - the spaces that shine and glimmer... knowing when to stop. 

Is it balanced, how does it feel - comfortable on the hand? or over the heart - framing the face. What do the colors, the stones, mean to you?

Crystals and ores from the earth, transported from distant regions over land and sea - drawings and thoughts, transmuted through fire and the eyes and hands of the stonecutters and smiths to you - this is our world. Cabochon Rings and Designer Silver Rings from from the imagination of Steven Battelle.
