You say "little woman", but it looks massive.  lol
How big is the stone? 

Other than that, it's yet another incredible creation of yours with impeccable workmanship that we have come to expect of you.

You never seem to stop amazing us with your incredible creative pieces and seemingly impossibly gifted hands   

Congratulations to another fantabulous piece. Kurt.

Ditto to Kurt,
That's a 'show stopper' for sure.

Really well done! That tube fitting is absolutely precise. I like seeing the gallery wire this way, it's usually pointing the other way.

I finally got to play with an idea that's been floating in my head for a while - a two finger ring.  I specifically cut the Tiger-eye for this ring - long and narrow - to cover 2 1/2 fingers.  It's a Christmas gift for a lady friend of mine.

Very Unique rings Steve. You are way out of the box. yes yes yes

The outer design on the Tigereye ring I believe is from a nail set? What I really want to know is how did you keep the bottom side so smooth? Is it because you used a thicker gauge of silver sheet? dunno dunno dunno

Thankx Don................The bottom is not perfectly smooth, there are some distortions.  I used 22g sheet for the bezel cup bottom and after stamping with both nail sets I did some hand sanding to get most of the wrinkles out.
