I finished this ring a while ago, but I really dragged my heels on listing it because I like it a lot! So, it’s not really new stuff. Plus, it’s made from a vintage button, so again, not new!
I wasn’t sure I wanted to let it go. But I decided in the end that I’d rather see it go to someone who loves it when I can always make myself something else.
I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to work on this scale since cut stones of this size are pricey. I liked trying out the larger design with such a pretty piece of glass. I think I’d like to work on some more pieces with larger settings.

It’s beautiful! I always enjoy creating something new out of something old. How did you remove the shank from the button?
Oh, thank you, Julie! This button had a glass shank. I just ground it off slowly with my grinder, and I made sure to stop frequently to cool the glass and add more water.
