Art Clay Silver tube w/ synthetic Ruby

Art Clay Silver formed into tube and set w/ synthetic Ruby.  Tube is .999 pure silver.  Chain sterling silver  .925 pure.  Lace pattern placed on Art Clay using lace while it was damp enough to  create the intricate design on the clay.   Ruby set into into tube before kiln firing as man-made gemstones can withstand the kiln firing.  They look remarkably like natural rubies, but have absolutely no inclusions.  See Art Clay section for more details.  Tubes are particularly difficult to create.
