Silver, Resin

Kiran wanted a silver Aum pendant with red and black resin.. and here it is.

Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute of Hinduism — omnipotent, omnipresent, and the source of all manifest existence. Brahman, in itself, is incomprehensible; so a symbol becomes mandatory to help us realize the Unknowable. Om, therefore, represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. It is called pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath.

Sterling Silver, Diamonds, Resin

Petro has a tattoo of a koi fish on her wedding finger and wanted a wide ring to cover it, with a koi and her diamonds... on the small scale of a ring it was tricky getting the koi to look like itself rather than a dolphin.. it is the 'whiskers' that identify it, really, from another fish.. 

Unfortunately, as I took my time with the ring... Petro was on diet and managed to lose weight quickly and now the ring is loose! When she thought that I could "just resize the ring", I had to laugh... as I would have to burn out the resin and be careful of the diamonds when applying heat to resize the ring... not a pleasant task! I was thinking maybe to insert an inner sleeve and stretch it on (cold join)? Oh woe.. I cant but help wishing she would just put that weight back on!!
