My Wife's New Artisan Gold Ring!

[Terry Soloman]

I had the opportunity to get Kate a one of a kind creation by Steve Wandt, a well known California goldsmith artisan, who uses natural gold nuggets and specimens to make his pieces http://www.naturalgoldjewelry.com To say Kate and I are thrilled would be an understatement. Here are some shots from Steve's studio, and on Kate's finger. The gold in quartz specimen came from California's famed "16 to 1" gold mine. Thank You again Steve for this beautiful work of art!

Wow! That's one helluva cool ring. Let me know where she'll be losing it

Utopian Stone in Nevada City uses specimens from the famed 16 to 1, exclusively.
some really beautiful pieces have been pulled from the Allegheny area, search for 16 to 1 and be prepared to drool.
nice ring Terry, your wife is a Lucky Lady.

Nice ring. It seems those have been around for a lot of years. My Mom and Dad in Nevada City back in the late 30's and she owned a similar ring that she wore every day for the rest of her life. Some of the gold eroded out over the years since hers was a regular cabochon that stuck up above the ring structure so it was exposed to everyday wear. Your wife will probably not have the same problem since the stone doesn't seem to project above the ring structure.
