Ring in the New Year

Some new rings for the New Year. I recently showed these for the first time at Metal+Smith in New York City. Claw settings are about as basic and timeless as can be. Stones have been set in claws, also known as a prong setting, for thousands of years. Tourmalines are a favorite stone for my work because they are available in so many colors.

 I created a sculptural Claw ring series using cabochon tourmalines.
