Night Stone Jewelry

So it’s been a little while since I posted, but I’ve good reason. I’ve not been making jewelry. Instead, I set out to remodel my work room so it is a brighter, cleaner, safer environment.

Now I’m starting the next phase of the project. This is a bit more difficult. I’m going to build my own jewelers workbench. I’m no experienced designer, so it’s probably a bit of a monster, but if it works, it works.

Here is the first piece I have completed. This is first of four frame pieces.
