This Week's Project: Swarovski Sculpture Ring

This week's project is one that I have been wanting to try for quite a while which is why I selected the padparadscha swarovski button from Rings & Things that I mentioned in Thursday's post.

This ring was inspired by Lillian Chen's design style. She creates gorgeous "sculptured" pieces out of various swarovski crystal elements.

I actually had a different plan for building this design, but I couldn't make it work as it did in my head, so back to the drawing board. I recently pulled a bunch of swarovski crystals together from my collection which were scattered in various places. I was surprised I had some of these, they are so cool!

I used two green swarovski crystal butterflies, a swarovski clear ab margarita sew-on and a clear crystal headpin attached to a gold toned ring base. I cut the 3 loops off the ring and using the satin beadalon wire I selected from R&T's catalog, wired the butterflies on and knotted them quite a few times before trimming the ends.

I LOVE IT!! Thanks Rings&Things for this opportunity to create!!
