Here’s a couple of sapphire suites I put together, with some alternates for choosing from. I’m unreasonably delighted with these bright colors! 🌈
Custom ring design in progress, with a scatter pattern for the stones. What would YOU want to make with these? 😁

Hot off the bench: 14k white gold and tourmaline, in a rich cabernet wine color. I also tried a couple different colored diamonds in there just to see how it looked - white, and champagne.
Available at my shows this weekend or by custom order!
Want to know what this texture look like on gold? Making one of these rings in 14k yellow, with a blue sapphire. Yummy. 🤩 #jewelrymaking

And yes it's fine to tumble a bezel, but if you are tumbling in steel shot it may stiffen the bezel a bit and make it harder to push it over the stone. Don't overdo it, would be my advice! ☺️
It's always hammer time. ;)

A purple sapphire and some yellow gold components (ring band and bezel setting) on my wooden bench pin.
On my bench: purple sapphire and 14k. Lately my clients have been all about the purple gems, and I’m not sad about it! Stay tuned for the finished ring.
