The Grass is Always Greener - Ring

Created by: Mollie Valente

1 #51-500-21 Adjustable 15mm square bezel cup finger ring, sterling silver
1 Artisan-supplied, cut stained-glass square

Tools and supplies: safety glasses (#69-350), Epoxy 330 adhesive (#60-230), ring mandrel (#69-151), glass working supplies (glass cutter, breaking pliers, 600-grit carbide wet sanding paper), rubbing alcohol, Uroborus forest green and chartreuse streaky stained-glass

TIPS:
* Cut the glass to fit the bezel and wet sand to smooth the edges.

* Clean glass and ring with rubbing alcohol and glue with two-part epoxy.

* Place the ring on a level surface while the adhesive cures. Turn a cardboard box
over and poke a hole in the box with a pen or other sharp object, and set the ring in the hole.
