<p>[QUOTE="spirit-of-shiloh, post: 9885, member: 32"]You know,I was thinking, and it usually gets me in trouble but I used to put broken turquoise and coral in bezels affixed with an epoxy and they looked like your ring. I would let the material harden, then I would grind the stones/coral flat to the bezel edge on a lapidary wheel. Maybe the maker of your ring planned that but never got around to it?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was teaching my cousin silversmithing and she made these pieces. The truck to the right is turquoise and jet and the piece looked like yours before she used the grinding wheel.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]2282[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
