Description aka 'The Commission from HELL!!!'

Sterling Silver -
"Phoenix' pierced and carved silver sheet - 27mm x 25mm
0.9mm pink cubic zirconia.
Plain silver band - size 3.5 (tiny!)


This is the most problem infested commission I have EVER had. Murphys Law had a power trip. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Twice. Sometimes three times. And they weren't really related to the difficulty of the piece, it was was just a long litany of stupid mistakes and mechanical failures.
I'm not going to list the problems I had, The list would be a mile long. I'm just going to say that I'm glad it's all over, and hope I never have to look at it again!

This ring was a private commission, So I can't make that exact ring for you but if you would like something similar please send me a note and we can work out the details

This just drew me in, the details are clean and reminds me of historical art peices. This peice shows that fighting Murphy and his dumb law pays off.

Mr Murphy and me have a long history of warfare. So far I think I'm winning

When I look at it objectively I know I did a good job, once the memories start to fade a bit I'll probably be quite proud of it
