I decided to make another ring. There's really no excuse for not making more than one, but the holidays have been what they are, and I haven't had the spoons. However, this single ring is hands down more successful than last month's. The soldering all went smoothly, the bezel was a tiny bit too large, but that's better than too small. The stone is still set firmly. And I properly polished this one.
The one sad thing, I got on a polishing kick and was polishing the rest of those Byzantine clasps from August (yes, they've sat unpolished this whole time). And one broke. The solder join at one of the bails wasn't as secure as I thought it was, and it broke off. In attempting to attach a new bail, I messed up the filigree. So that's frustrating.
