Gold and Lapis Lazuli Ring
This is one of those piece that just happen! I had a small square piece of gold and wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, looking through my stones I came across this lovely lapis lazuli, being a big fan of gold and blue a design suddenly came to me, so I made a gold wire ring and solder the gold square to it add a bezel for the stone and solder some loops to hang some beads and a ring was born!
