Ruby Druids Ring with Gold Inlay in Sterling Silver

This ring to me speaks of a time when dragons where common, monks and wizards held dark forces at bay and knights were the noble keepers of the land. This would have been worn as a talisman against evil by an ancient druid.... channeling his powers into a single point of focus.

How I made it: This ring had to be very thick to start with so I crafted a extra thick sterling sliver band using lost wax casting. I then hand filed it into the rough hewn form you see.  The channel for the yellow gold was slowly cut out by hand using a tiny 0.5mm bur. After the channel was cut I pressed a thin wire of solid 22k yellow gold into the channel and beat down the silver around it, pressing it into place.  I then hammered the face of each rough facet on the ring, building up the silver towards the edges to create the texture you now see. Lastly, a deep red natural 2.5mm ruby was hand set, flush into the band.

Features: Solid Sterling Silver, Solid 22k yellow gold (Stamped 18k as I do not have a 22k stamp)
