I'm excited to bring these new rings to the Crafts Fair this weekend! Sea glass set on cast silver bands. Scroll through to see how these rings stand up and make a statement!

Yes, another sea glass ring. What's different about this one? - the band was cast from wax and then I added the bezel and the sea glass - this ring was custom made for ME! Yup, I'm keeping it! - I can make other custom rings (ok, not wildly different) #waxcasting #seaglassjewelry #mine #silver #icyblue #newskill #stilllearning #raleighartist #araleighstudios https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mCh0Pn9Vg/?igshid=1j2ochx067c7f

Custom order! Client's (now grown) daughter had written a note that we wanted to memorialize so I made a little tube container necklace. Accented with sea glass, of course #seaglass #hollow #keepsake #silverjewelry #container #necklace #childsnote #customorder #araleighstudios (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/By5mRWdH1WI/?igshid=85k1yhxkpkf9

Sapphires and sea glass -- so lovely and lightweight to wear, I may never take them off #earrings #seaglassjewelry #pinksapphire #silverjewelry #theartofearrings #semipreciousstones #seaglassandstones #localjewelry #handcrafted #araleighstudios (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIIMQYn878/?igshid=191shyij4k4mb

4 days out of the studio and re-entry is kicking my butt! Loads of ideas; too little energy #earringsondeck #wip #stonesandseaglass #seaglassjewelry #makingbezels? #araleighstudios #backtowork https://www.instagram.com/p/BxuxgwzHNG4/?igshid=r1ywa8pgp1s7

I swear bezels shrink sometimes. 😉 So, I'll just emphasize the asymmetry #seaglassjewelry #earrings #wip #asymmetrical #creativeproblemsolving #araleighstudios https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSx4BQHo3d/?igshid=gnkjqcolgy36

What's that above the sea glass? 🤫 Custom orders can be so interesting! #seaglassjewelry #custom #handcraftedjewelry #memento #localartist #notavailableinstores #araleighstudios (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw68fWHHAmt/?igshid=ywdhlfkh9ljb

Wondering how many bezels I can solder before the tank runs out of acetylene #artist #takeagamble #seaglassjewelry #earrings #handcrafted #wip #araleighstudios (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4equTHKPH/?igshid=1mkiyt7g7fxf8
