It is a bit like Roxanne's but does not go completely around the finger, with a slot at the top side - over the nail - allowing for size adjustment for perfect fit. it also has more pits all the way round the sides. Makes it easier to quilt "in all directions"... Tom is a silversmith who sells his wares at various events, including some of the quilt shows, the name of his company is "Small Wonders". I loved the Roxanne thimbles, but I have enlarged joints, and they just don't fit properly. I bought a sterling silver thimble from Tom Edwards about 15 or 20 years ago, and it serves me well today.
