I love some of the rings he designed using sterling silver and it looks like wire and then he also wraps the wire in various stations of the ring.  That's the best I can do in describing.  He has a ring on clearance that I purchased last night with lemon quartz.  It is stunning and the price is reasonable.  I can't wait to receive.  Anyone else like his designs?  Cat Very Happy

@Katcat1

 

are you talking about his reed and ribbon collections?

 

i love his pieces. i wish he would bring more items here. they are very modern looking and are easily wearable casually or dressy. i have a bunch of rings and a couple of necklaces. i love that his pieces have some weight to them and dont feel hollow or light.

 

i have picked up some of his items when he has good sales on his website and have purchased some from qvc. the packaging is exquisite (and i generally do not care about packaging/presentation at all.)

Wire wrapped stones are very commonly seen at craft fairs.  Some people are remarkably good at it, creating unbelievably intricate designs.  I've got a couple books on "how to" but never got the supplies together.

I have three of his rings and I love them!!  But I am VERY annoyed that they gave the basic ribbon and reed ring a new item number with a much higher price.

 

This is how they get around not raising prices; change the item number and give the ring a new price.  So much for "honest pricing."

 @Katcat1  Enjoy your ring. I like his designs very much, but am a purist. I prefer his pieces w/o colored stones. I purchased one of his bangles, but wish he’d move on from the current same design in most pieces so I can add to my collection.

@Kachina624  It’s definitely an art especially when holding a larger stone securely.
