I'm having some fun with these designs. They are some of my earlier designs that never get old. The square came from the round version just to change things up. I've always loved creating these and wearing them because they are not your standard bands that you can find anywhere. These are just solid designs that are not just found anywhere. I love to come up with new patterns. They don't always translate from sketch to reality so in the design process I have to adapt as needed while creating them. Hopefully you'll have able to enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy making them.
Holiday Schedule
Now is the time to place your orders. Well you have maybe 1 weeks before it won't make it in time for Christmas. This is a busy time of year and packages can have a hick-up because of weather, etc., so please order soon to make sure there is no delay in receiving your items.
Close one
So I was working on my site of course and I ran into a snag. I could not get the shopping cart to work with variant options the way I needed. I found a workaround that has to do. So when selecting a gold ring to buy you will have to just add it to the cart and then a popup will allow you to add the metal color. Just that simple. It's one of those hidden simple things that hopefully doesn't confuse anyone.
Handmade ring
I thought I'd post an old video I made of a ring that I handmade. I hope to have time to make more videos. Here it is. It's an engagement ring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tumdkoyqtl0
A few updates
I just thought I'd update what's been going on lately. I found a little time to work on a video. Still a lot to do and still not finished after a few years. I need to find more time to work on it.
So far this past year I was able to make new business cards, a few new designs, receive honorable mention in the render category of the Gemvision design symposium 2012 and have lots of fun. Work is fun so I never know when I'm working or having fun. It's the same to me. :) This year I hope to work on the video, shot more photography and practice some more art. I'm getting into digital art a little more. I feel the key to it is drawing directly on screen. Without that it's not as much fun. I'm inspired to keep moving along. If I ever create anything worth while to share, I'll share.
This was my most popular ring for 2012.
I'll try and post more often. Until then, bye. :)
New bands with patterns
Recently I have been inspired to make more bands. This past year I have been working on a series of bands with patterns on them. I have broken them down into different categories on my site. Hopefully this will help when looking for certain rings. I first started out with my his and her series. This series is very unique in that it connects couples with matching bands. I plan to keep working on new rings and themes for this section of my site.
I also have added lots of textured bands that are very different. These textures should not wear off and they look very cool. I have gone crazy and have added many textures to the rings that come to my mind while designing. I hope you can enjoy them too.
I have a few more sections with other bands. They too are unique with patterns. There is no theme to these bands, but they are truly neat to see and wear. Check out my site to see my newest items.

Dana Arts Videos
Lately I've been wanting to do lots of videos. Videos about jewelry and just videos in general. I for some reason just love to make them so I will start out with a project to make a promo video. Stay tuned to see it. It may take me a month or so, but it will come.
