King Me!

Here is a little project I recently finished and want to share with you. I have been inspired (can't quite remember why) to create a "crown ring", and by that I mean a ring in the shape of a crown.

It is not the most original idea that ever crossed my mind, many artists and designers have made rings in the shape of a crowns in the past... and present. However I decide to try my hand at creating my own any way.

This is what I came up with the first time around.

Although I did find this ring to be incredibly attractive in a white/silver polished finish. I simply could not resist darkening the piece as I personally prefer the look of "aged" silver.

I really enjoyed making this ring and find the form to be very pleasing.

I hope to experiment with different designs and make a few more rings when I find the time.

I often feel like I should "buckle down" and focus on one body of work instead of starting new projects every week. Oh well... I suppose variety is the spice of life ;op. . .

I hope I managed to bring a little spice into your life.
Be back soon.
Until next time,
Peace and Love
