Working gold is similar to working with silver, but it takes some capital outlay and there is waste when sawing and filing (I try my best to catch it all for later smelting).  Here are pics of these first two rings with the solid 18k bling.  One is a spectacular, pick-of-the-litter, Ethiopian Welo Opal, the other is a gem quality Chrysoprase cabochon.  They will soon be available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/product-category\/custom-handmade-jewelry-by-rloartist\/\">*store page* <\/a>for my handmade jewelry creations.

My paintings are done both \u201cplein air\u201d with a portable artists pochade style easel or on a larger easel in the studio. I consider the framing of the finished art very important to my vision of the completed work and therefore I offer much of my art pre-framed as envisioned and intended by the artist. I also make custom jewelry in 18kt gold and silver with gems and cabochons.","sameAs":["https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RLOArtist","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/RLOArtist","https:\/\/Pinterest.com\/RLOArtist"],"url":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/author\/ronnylee61\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/04.jpg?fit=640%2C640&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2LJsF-Gn","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2627"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2629,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627\/revisions\/2629"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ronaldleeoliver.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
