poems ring

YES!! finally finally i made the perfect bezel setting! I made a little copper band ring with stamped letters on it called "poems" because of the letters. I'm teaching myself metalsmithing(more or less...with the help of a friend..) and i'm learning how important measurements are in this trade. Bezels have to be EXACTLY the same as the stone you try to set. Or maybe a fraction of a millimeter smaller so that the stone won't wobble. and the way the metal behaves...so much fun!! here is my ring
