This is a big ring! I wanted to make a bearing-set cabochon ring, and had a few moonstones that seemed perfect for the project. The design I had in mind,though, meant that the ring's band was very wide indeed... and that's often not comfortable to wear for long. I decided to cut out shapes along the band to depict the phases of the moon, with the moonstone itself- oval as it is- standing in for the full moon, and the cut-outs depicting the dark portions.

Drafting this to fit the band well, and to compensate for the distortion that happens when a piece of sheet is formed into a circle, were tricky but fun challenges, and I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

Sterling silver, moonstone.

Size 6.5. Other dimensions: 0.5 inches wide (13 mm), moonstone: 8 x 6mm.
