Polish resistance emblem ring
« on: May 26, 2019, 03:19:14 AM »
I have a longtime friend of Polish ancestry that asked if I could make this, still needs more work with polishing the silver ring at the top and glueing in the rhodonite and black jade in, the rhodonite is CHOICE GEM, equal to the best I have worked.

It looks great!  I will never be able to get over the color of that rhodonite (and lusting after it).  It must have taken a long time to carve the black jade part.  That symbol is pretty complicated.   :occasion14:

 Beautiful work . What is the meaning of the symbol ? Did it have a name?
