Amuletic Jewellery

This is a work in progress, an intricate filigree ring. It will be set with a garnet and have a knife edge shank.
This was a fantastic learning experience. I learned never to use fine silver plate in a ring : while wearing it I kept knocking it into things, the end result being that it was all bent out of shape and half the filigree fell off.
Secondly, the claws needed to be added differently. I corrected this mistake in my necklace.
I have to remake this because I just love it!
