Cast Heart Ring Save
This was created and inspired by a ring Grandma gave me back when I was in high school. I made a mold of it and cast it. The casting seemed to go well until I found a bubble in the crown when finishing it. I was so discouraged and wasn't sure of what to do with it, until now. I decided to cut another heart shape out of the crown, where the hole was uncovered. I just put the saw blade right in the hole and started cutting. It took me an hour and a half from start to finish and not one broken saw blade. With the size that it was cast, I knew it would be a perfect fit for a friend who I promised a ring. I'm extremely happy with the save and will probably treat the other heart ring casting in the same manner.

Wait...does this mean no red jewel ring?
I'm still trying to figure out that stone. It has a high base, so I scraped the previous design.
