Here are some examples of cuttlebone castings and an appliqued ring that use tube settings. Notice how the use of contrasting textures add more intrest to the pieces. How can we change a simple band ring into a more expressive piece? Do you like the stones placed in the center or off to one side? How about color changes? Are you drqwn to one or more colors in a piece?

My favorite is the thin band in the center. What strikes me is the level of contrast: of silver & gold, of smooth and texture, and especially how the one edge achieves a more free-formed appearance compared to the other linear gold edge. I would not like it nearly as much if both edges were the same.
