You know that jewelry class I told you I was taking? Well, allow me to present my very first completed project: a blue lace agate stone set on a wide sterling silver band! It's taken me almost 3 months of filing, hammering, soldering, setting, and polishing (and more polishing!), but it's finally done and on the hand of my wonderful sister-in-law Shannon in honor of her 30th birthday.
That's my chicken hand above, not hers. I couldn't help myself from trying it on. And wearing it around the house. And modeling it for my coworkers in the office. But that was it, I swear. Anyway, I really hope she likes it.
