EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING

HAND SELECTING MY VERY OWN TURQUOISE GEM STONE I LANDED A UNIQUE PIECE WITH GOLD VEIN RUNNING THROUGH IT, LOVE LOVE!

THIS GUY WAS TOTALLY ROCKING HIS LOOK. HEAVY BEJEWELED RINGS, AUTHENTIC FINGER PAINTED BINDI. 
SO INDIA CHIC.

FLAME THROWING IS A CONSTANT WHEN MAKING SILVER. SOLDIERING, HEATING, MOULDING.. FUN WITH FIRE!

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

POLISHING OFF THE SILVER, FINALLY STARTING TO SEE IT COME TO LIFE !


THE RESULT: MY VERY OWN HAND CRAFTED 925 SILVER TURQUOISE RING. 
8 HOURS, A FEW LEG CRAMPS, MINOR CABIN FEVER AND 1200 RUPEES LATER I HAVE A STATEMENT PIECE DESIGNED AND CREATED BY YOURS TRULY! 
THE PROCESS WAS RELATIVELY SIMPLE BUT TIME CONSUMING. I CAN NOW FULLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT GOES INTO EACH PIECE OF JEWELLERY.
 A COMMON TRADE FOR MANY LOCALS BUT A MAJOR LIFE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ME!
