This is a lost wax ring. My mother studied in Berkley to learn this technic back in the late 60's. This is one of the results. There is an ounce of oldworked gold in there. The stone looks like amber at first glance, but when you are holding it you feel the weight of a rock. It measures one and a half inches from tip to tip, with the stone at three quarters of an inch long. When Mom wore the ring it would make the most beautiful noise, it seemed she could make it sing. I hope you enjoy looking at this little piece of history.
Thank-you! Mom loved nature and you could see it in everything she did. I'm just glad I could get that picture, it took me forever to decide on that one! LOL!
She was quite an amazing Lady! One of her end of semester Fashion Shows had a fantasy theme for costumes. It was a blast decorating the lunch room for a FS, Mom always had a way to make you feel like somebody important up on that walkway of lunchroom tables!
Oh, what a fantastic story... your Mom has quite an aura because when you said "sing" I felt I could hear it over hear... miles away. I love when people can become one with their jewelry... they just complete the work-

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

I personally think we should take all the world leaders, put them in a bull-pit and let them fight to the death. Then the rest of us can go party.
A man who steals bread is desperate; a man who steals art is pond-scum.
