My "Casino-related" jewellery - 56 photos

 Some of us go to casino's, and while we are there, have you seen the variety of poker chips being used? 
 I've created an inventory of these 'chips'. If you want to copy any of them for your self, I have no copyrights on any of these patterns or designs.


 Certain religions, or countries use the number #8 as a 'lucky omen' I incorporated many of my patterns with the "8" into these designs. This also with the commonly used number #7. 



 In this photo you can see that I used my Bead-Burnisher to tighten the 42 stones into the number #7. There was no other method in using the tightening process.

 Here is my "Guinness World Record, Poker Chip" now being completed.
 
  My Bead-Burnisher is again being used to tighten the circle of pink stones.

   This ring was one of my many CAD created designs.

 Underneath the ring was my decision to keep the 'casino' format ongoing throughout all of my patterns.
Here is one example incorporating the gambling idea in the "Azure" pattern.
 
 The 'mottled finish' was created by having my Reciprocating Hammer hit the steel model. Then upon viewing the results there was this reverse result. No longer were any mini-holes but a series of raised mini-beads. 

 My CAD designer and I had some 'fun times' working on my newer ideas. Here is my ring with a half-shaped dice pattern.



 There was even a thought of having a bracelet, again with the gambling idea throughout.

 Here is a key-chain with a novel idea of having a rotating dice.



 T his is the full view of the bracelet along with the wrist-links attached.

 
   I liked the idea of a key-chain, but with different inserts.

                                                    WAX PATTERNS
These multiple wax inserts are named "Azure". As I didn't want to have empty spaces underneath. I showed my CAD designer what to put into the inside of my rings, he totally agreed with my decision and from then on he used my ideas into his own CAD patterns. 


    This is the close-up of this "two piece" construction.


 I used and improvised my waxes to find newer designs instead of using my designers bench time.
  
  Here are a set of cuff-links, still using the number #7 and having space for stones.

    This is my improved key-chain, still with the number #7.


  These 'dots' would have been an idea for (large) stone settings. I 'experimented' as often as I could with newer ideas.

  For "horse-lovers" I thought of putting a horse on one of my casino-patterns.

 In these space with claws is where 17, 1.25 carat stones will be placed.



  This is where the 17 large diamonds would be placed. 

 As for a pendant, I managed to continue working on the idea on #7, interesting?


 Here is a collection of my designs that were on my mind. My printer and I had some wonderful times planning with this one photograph.






 For my American jewellery friends, I used the 'Stars & Stripes" motif and came up with this idea.

               "The Winner takes it All"

 Only 28 Emeralds in the pendant.

     
Dice ring with an "Azure" insert.

                                



This is the Computer Enhanced rendition of the multitude of diamonds.











 Inside of the casino-ring I placed a single white stone to add some flavour to the overall lustre.

 Here is a 'lucky' #7 along with the casino motif and shoulder stones.

 All of these patterns and designs were never copied from any outside or off-shore .source. These were all of my ideas. You are permitted to copy any of them for your own gambling needs, HAVE FUN, eh?
